Inter Milan advanced to the Champions League final on Tuesday with an extra-time winner, which gave the Italians a stunning 4-3 triumph over Barcelona, 7-6 on aggregate.
Italy midfielder Davide Frattesi won a tie for the ages under a downpour in Milan when he lashed home in the 99th minute after great play from Marcus Thuram, sending a packed and rocking San Siro wild with joy.
Simone Inzaghi’s team will face either Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of this month in Munich, where they will feel they have a great chance to be crowned kings of Europe for a fourth time after coming out on top in an epic contest.
Frattesi has become something of a super-sub for Inter and he struck late just as he did in the first leg of his team’s quarter-final win over Bayern Munich.

Tuesday’s triumph saved Inter’s season as their bid for the treble went up in smoke after getting past Bayern.
Inter conceded top spot in Serie A to Napoli, who are favourites to claim the domestic league title, while AC Milan dumped them out of the Italian Cup.
But Inter ended Barcelona’s hopes for the quadruple and head into the final weeks of the season buoyant with a second Champions League final in three seasons to look forward to.
Barcelona now have to try to maintain their four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga on Sunday after missing out on a chance to claim every trophy available this season.
