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.

But, Bastoni did well there to deflect it for a corner. 

A huge chance for Dani Olmo. Once he was nearly one-on-one inside the box. 

Do not know why he slowed down. 

His shot in the end was deflected away for a corner.

"It's difficult to handle him, we will try to limit the ball getting to him but it is impossible. He will be doubled, but we know he is very dangerous. He thinks so quickly, it's unbelievable."

"We can't change anything in terms of injuries. I'm not happy about it, but we can't change it. We have players who can play in those [full-back] positions. Balde and Jules [Koundé] are important for us, but we have Gerard [Martín], Héctor [Fort] and Ronald [Araújo], all of whom are capable of playing in that position."

Inter have gone 972 days without losing a Champions League home game, their last defeat was on September 7, 2022!

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.
