It was a hell of a game. Inter kept on coming back, and so did Barcelona. 

But in the end, I feel it was Yann Sommer who made the difference for Inter Milan. 

Yamal was just incredible, but Sommer was better. 

Inter will head to Munich for the final. Who will they face?

We will get to know that tomorrow!

Until then, good night and thanks for staying with us.

The first leg of the semi-final was one of the Champions League classics with a 3-3 result at the  Lluís Companys. 

Marcus Thuram scored the fastest goal of Champions League semi-final history with a 30-second goal in the game. In the 21st minute, Dumfries then extended the lead for Inter Milan. 

But, Barcelona came back three minutes later with a stunning curling goal from Lamine Yamal. In the 38th minute, Ferran Torres scored again for Barcelona to make it 2-2.

However, Inter Milan were ready to strike back in the second half as Dumfries scored his second to hand Inter the lead, again.

But again, Barcelona came back two minutes later with a third goal from Raphinha, which was later confirmed to be an own goal by Inter goalkeeper Sommer. 

Inter nearly won the tie if not Dumfries had been found an inch offside before scoring what could have been a well-deserved hat-trick for him. 

We have everything to play for in the second leg. But Inter have not lost a home game in the UCL this season. Can Barcelona break that record? 

In the 13 matches between these two sides, FC Barcelona have dominated the Italian side with a 6 to 2 win ratio. The remaining 5 games have been drawn. A total of 33 goals have been scored in the matches between these two teams.

Not a great night for FC Barcelona as a team but they got what they wanted. They reach the Champions League semi-final for the first time since 2019. 

Despite a hat-trick from Guirassy, who now has 12 goals in this seaons's Champions League, Dortmund could not recover the defeat in Barcelona in frist leg. 

This game proved that Barcelona are not invincible; they can be beaten. This is Hansi Flick's team's first defeat in 2025 but they would love to forget this match and move on to the next one. 

The treble dream is on for them. 

Barcelona will face either of Inter Milan or FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. 

We will see you in the semis. Till then, take care and good night. Thank You.

Barcelona will be the happier one to listen the whistle. They have looked shaky and rusty. 

Dortmund would have liked one more goal in the first half but they kept on producing chances the entire half. 

Will we see changes from Barcelona? Surely, we will see more speed and tactical changes from Flick.

Great ball play from Gavi and Lewandowski to find Raphinha at the edge of the box, making a run with the ball. 

However, after a poor touch, he lost the ball. 

Raphinha concedded the free-kick from the edge of the box. Gross took the free-kick and Beier's header went straight to Szczęsny. Althogh he was alredy offside.

Chance for Barcelona to find the net. But, Lewandowski's pass to Fermin Lopez found him in an offside position. 

Barcelona are settling down after a very shaky first 25 minutes. 

Raphina and Lamine Yamal looked in postion now. But, still, Lamine has not looked at his best though.

Bensebaini did well there jump highest and win the ball off a corner from the left. End the end it was an easy grab for Szczęsny.
