football gave an unforgettable night in Milan, and worldwide. In an epic series, of changing emotions and moments that will remain in collective memory, The expraged Inter defeated Barcelona of the young cracks 4-3 In the return of the semifinals of the Champions 2024-2025 -That 3-3 in the first leg- And he returns to the grand final to charge revenge From the defeat against Manchester City in 2023. I revived this great game By Disney+ (Only for South America).
The expectation was huge after the vibrant tie at the Montjuïc Olympic. Barcelona came confident in his game. Inter, backed by its locality and the experience of a tanned team In this type of appointments. And from the beginning, the Italians marked the tone of the encounter. Imposing rhythm, pressure and authority, locked the Catalans in their field and were superior throughout the first section of the party.
At 21 minutes the first big shake arrived: high pressure About Dani Olmo, Di Marco recovery, Perfect Dumfries assistance and Definition of Lautaro Martínez in front of the empty arch. Gol of the Argentine Captain, 1-0 and the Giuseppe Meazza in boiling.
Barcelona reacted from the game, with a more content yamal than in the first leg. Inter ceded the ball and opted to the counter. Pedri and Jong took over the rhythm, moved the ball and brought the team to the rival area, although without depth or precision. Ferrán failed to push a poisonous center by Eric García and Yamal, in a large collective play, he finished off and diverted. The clearest, however, were Italian: dangerous shots of Mkhitaryan and Calhanoglu that touched the sticks.
About the end of the first half, Inter hit again. Lautaro Martínez was shot down by Cubarsí inside the area after an explosive. Referee Marciniak, after review of the VAR, penalized penalty. Calhanoglu, with category, put the 2-0. Another blow, the same advantage as in the first leg. The challenge for those of Simone Inzaghi: hold it.
Barcelona traced in the second half against Inter
In the complement, Barcelona responded with soul and football. And in 10 minutes he reached the tie. At 49, Eric García appeared without a brand in the second stick after a last center of Gerard Martín and He put a right volley to the angle. Golazo and life for Barça. At 56, Eric himself had the tie, but Sommer flew to sign a huge save. Inter barely resisted. At 60, another center of Gerard Martín and Dani Olmo connected head to 2-2.
-The game was a delirium. And there were even more. At 65, Yamal fell in the area and the referee charged penalty. The VAR corrected: free kick to the edge. Barcelona kept looking. And at 76, another Yamal bombing was clearly clear by Sommer.
But At 87, Rapinha, almost absent until then, appeared to sentence the series. Pedri enabled him, Sommer covered the first attempt, but the Brazilian hunted the rebound and with a skid left -footed shot It marked 3-2. It seemed the end.
The veterans Inter beat Barcelona agony and got into the Champions League final
However, in added time, Inter had one more life. The kids of Barcelona heard a phrase that is repeated a lot these days in South America: “The old works.” Acerbi, 37, went to play striker. He started the play winning at the heights, Dumfries fought and focused, and the central defender himself, with a reflection of nine, set foot in the right place and diverted the ball to the angle. 3-3 agonized. Heroic. To supplementary.
The extension found two teams exhaustedbut with an insatiable ambition. Inter, with cooler legs from the bank, took advantage again: Taremi lowered a ball, pivoted and Frattesi defined next to the stick for 4-3 at 98.
Already under a torrential rain, Barça tried everything. Flick risked with three line and went in front. But just generated one more clear: At 114, Yamal leaked, but again Sommer, undisputed figure in the series, drowned the cry With a sublime cover.
Thus ended a duel that will be memorable. Barcelona, in his best Champions from the post messi era, was one step away from returning to the final As in 2015, when he beat Juventus. Interinstead, He returns to the last game for the title for the second time in three years and will seek revenge of what happened in 2023.
The final appointment will be in Munich, on Saturday, May 31. And after this eternal great game, everything can happen. Inter wishes.
