Final thoughts!
It was a very, very physical match, and the ground condition also did not allow the players to have a great game.
The second half, though, was more fluid from both sides. A few saves from Rochet prevented the opener. But Thiago Almada found a way to score a stunning goal to hand them the win.
A red card for Nicolás González right before the end of the game did not cause too much trouble to the World Champions as well.
All right, this is Koushik Biswas, signing off. I hope you enjoyed the coverage. Good morning. if you are from Asia. See you on the next LIVE Blog.

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?

What happened in the first leg?
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?

A Champions League classic.
Goals. Chances. Speed. Good defending. Great Saves.
We had everything. But still, we could not separate the teams.
Inter would be happy to make it 3-3 in Barcelona and then hope to win the second leg at their home.
Meanwhile, Barcelona would also be happy with how they came back every time they were behind.
What will happen in the second leg? I do not know. Nobody knows with two great teams going against each other. But, surely, we will have another Champions League classic.
I hope you enjoyed the coverage. See you in the second leg.

"I am not afraid:" Lamine Yamal
The atmosphere at the Copa del Rey final was fantastic. We went out to enjoy ourselves. I would love to experience it again. I am really motivated and I have butterflies in my stomach before the games, but I don't feel pressure. I just like to play and give everything. I left fear behind in Mataró
