The game is over and the final score is Inter 4-3 Barcelona. Here is the match report.

Match report

Forget the final, give Inter Milan the Champions League – nothing will surpass this.

Neither Arsenal nor Paris Saint-Germain will at least come across the monsters of Simone Inzaghi.

They triomous about Barcelona in the largest semi -final and in the most dramatic fashion.

These two served an immediate classic a week ago and went out completely to surpass it at the San Siro.

Inter feared after another flying start, on the floor after Barcelona came out of the dead again.

Somehow they had more left and, for all Barcelona comebacks about this unforgettable draw, it was the

Nerazzurri who produced one when it counted, sealed by Davide Fratesi in extra time.

The Inter Sub showed a calmness that few could believe in the midst of the mania of this competition – the closing of a movement made by the sparkle of Marcus Thuram.

Thuram refused to give up the right side, hit two Barca defenders and fired for Mehdi Taremi, who scoured Frattesi to eventually kill this most stubborn opponent.

Barcelona had arrived three times from behind in this draw.

Raphinha thought he had won it in the 87th minute, making them put forward for the first time.

But nobody calculated that a 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi received his first Champions League goal in the 93rd minute to give everyone what we wanted.

Barca's potential competition winner collapsed on his knees and this turned out to be one comeback too far for the men of Hansi Flick.

Their waiting for a Champions League final now passes a decade, Inter has reached their second in three years.

The exuberant home fans previously welcomed their team bus with a frenzy of fireworks and torches.

Inzaghis men had surprised everyone with their attacking intention and effectiveness in a fascinating first leg.

An upcoming San Siro wanted more of the same and was not disappointed.

It was the same plan as a week ago – trying to punish the nauseated high line of the visitors – and it wore more fruit.

Inter seemed ready to race in a different early lead, and did exactly that.

Denzel Dumfries, who scored a brace last week, was sent one-on-one by Federico Dimarco, but despite his devastating work six days ago, the Dutchman squares selflessly for his skipper.

Lautaro Martinez, fitted in fitting to start after being a big doubt, capped on the empty net and ran away to celebrate with a rising sea of ​​black and blue – none of them knew what they were about to be continued.

Inter, famous to defend a tight lead, would not lean back. Dumfries were still walking forward and the two strikers turned out to be annoying.

Barca seemed desperate for some experience. They had lost Jules Kounde and Pau Cubarsi, 18, struggled.

Hakan Calhanoglu flashed an attempt wide, but would soon get a much better thanks to the teenager.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan slid one of the many dangerous ball for Martinez to race, Cubarsi was caught and limited to a late lung.

Referee Szymon Marciniak, the screams waved away and the San Siro broke out, a roar of whistles while their captain wriggled on the deck.

In the end, Marciniak was sent to the monitor and the decision was corrected, allowing Calhanoglu to get up and – for the second time in this draw – his side two free from Barca.

Inter had again dumped Barca in an all -powerful hole. The young visitors looked lost in the well of this famous old stadium.

For a while even the older players looked just as bambozle as the children.

But Barcelona players, young and old, have a muscle memory for comebacks, not only that famous “Remontada” against Paris Saint-Germain eight years ago.

It was sparkle that caused them to get going in the first stage, this was more traditional – but nevertheless incredibly impressive.

Eric Garcia, the former man of Manchester City, banged home to convert the cross of Gerard Martin less than 10 minutes after the restart.

The breaks of Inter had been limited, Barcelona looked at herself again with Pedri and gave things.

It was again Martin who made the second, lifting a beautiful ball over the intersection of deep, perfectly placed for Olmo to run to and barca level, from two down – again.

The hosts looked as if Barcelona's latest recovery law had finally made it out. Inter struggled and inspired by five changes in an attempt to breathe new life into them.

But they seemed to have failed.

Pedri saw Raphinha in the room on the left and unpacked the ex-Leds winger.

His first shot was fired at Yann Sommer, but the Swiss sent was immediately back and Raphinha did not waste his second aid.

The home fans were quiet, they had given up. But their players didn't have that. Dumfries – again – continued and crossed to Acerbi, who converted the first time to take this draw beyond the rich of ridiculous and crushing Barca.

There is the cracking of San Siro downwards. Those parties almost did the work.

Inter, unkanted, had coupled Barca Blow for a blow and brought them to the end.

Flick's Tikes refused to fold, even after Fratesi's winner, Yamal stopped twice at Sommer, but this was finally too much to come back.
