It is difficult to describe such moments. After two epic matches and a total of 13 goals, the Inter managed to overcome her “giant obstacle” Barcelona. The “Nerazzuri” led 2-0, found a face with the 2-3 Catalans’ 2-3, sent the semifinals to the 90+3 ‘goal and reached the victory (4-3) with Fratizi at 97’. In the Champions League final, the Milan team is waiting for the rematch, Paris Saint -Germain -Arsenal. Great interventions by Zomer.
Barcelona’s little ones were also impressed in the “Giuseppe Macha” but eventually “bent” in the extension, with Fratizi scoring the “gold” that made the final 4-3 in the first part of the extension. Inter is in the final of the Champions League for the 7th time in its history and wants to reach the 4th conquest of the Baritimos Trophy (lifted it in 1964, 1965 and 2010) and thus reach Ajax on the list.
The match …
Barcelona was the team that got the best in the match, trying to release the ball and find the weaknesses on Inter’s defense line. The Italians tried not to leave gaps and chose to come forward, with vertical balls to Turam, Damfris and Lautaro.
Barcelona seemed to control the match, but from 15 ‘onwards Inter uploaded … turns. In the 21st, Cesni hardly pulled out the powerful shot of the bar to make it 1-0 in the next attack, of the same minute. By mistake in the Catalans’ defense and magnificent vertical, Dabris returned to Lautaro Martins at the right time, who scored a vacant outbreak!
The match returned to his … previous image, with Barcelona pushing and Inter focusing on her defense, but accepting a lot of pressure (Zomer was on alert).
The first half ended with a phase that … brought goals. In the 42 ‘, Kubarsi made a tackle to Lautaro Martins in the area, with the phase continuing. Var shouted Marciniak to examine her for a possible penalty shoot -out, and the Polish referee – with onfield review – gave a violation. Tsalhanoglu took over the execution and made it 2-0 in the first half.
Barcelona tried to put pressure on the start of the repetition, with Yamal being the driving force. But Inter had a way of blocking him. In the 52 ‘the hosts scored with the header of Atcherby.
Eventually, the Catalans raised their performance vertically and – first – reached the 54 ‘score. From Pedri’s filling, Eric Garcia caught a one-piece place and sent the ball into the net for 2-1. In the 57 ‘Zomer’ made ‘with an incredible attempt at the scorer’s nearby, to bring Barcelona three minutes and bring matt to equal (2-2) with Danny Olmo’s terrible head.
The match lasted a terrible pace, with Barcelona winning a penalty in the 68 ‘for a tackle in Yamal, but with VAR canceling it and giving a foul out of the big area.
Barcelona has shown to have total control of the race, attacking both wings, with Yamal … moving everywhere! Inter were tired, with the Catalans renewing possessions and aggressive efforts. Following Inzaghi’s changes, the “Nerazzurri” showed that they could withstand.
Barcelona has shown to have total control of the race, attacking both wings, with Yamal … moving everywhere! Inter were tired, with the Catalans renewing possessions and aggressive efforts. The “Nerazzurri” seemed to endure and the match was going on the extension. But Rafinia-with a double effort-managed to beat Zomer in the 88 ‘and make it 2-3.
Inter showed incredible mental reserves, did not give up, fought … to the end and at 90+3 ‘he reached 3-3 and in a score of extension, with Atcherby equalizing with a close place. In the last phase of the race, Zomer blocked Yamal’s shot from the big area.
Inter proved to be extended that she was not willing to lose the “ticket” for the Champions League final. Fratizi (who spent in the 79 ‘match) caught an ideal and cool place through the big Barcelona area at 99 ′ and killed the Catalans for 4-3!
The two teams gave it all to the second part of the extension, with Lamin Yamal trying to create. The ball he took in the 107th was good, but Zomer found the ball a little and Levadovsky – with a header from the small area – sent the ball out. Shortly thereafter, in 114 ‘, the Swiss goalkeeper kicked out a jam of Yamal with one hand. He did the same in 116 ‘, in a strong Spanish shot. Inter closed in the frames but withstood her and reached the final!
