Epic Ending Between Barcelona and Inter! It All Comes Down to Extra Time
Barcelona and Inter Milan delivered an unforgettable clash in the Champions League semifinals, which will now be decided in extra time after a thrilling 3-3 draw in regulation. The match was packed with drama, goals, and twists, with a breathtaking finish that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle.
The Italian side took control early with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Lautaro Martínez and Hakan Calhanoglu, seemingly putting one foot in the final. But the Catalans mounted a courageous comeback. First, Eric García pulled one back, Dani Olmo leveled the score, and finally, Raphinha scored in the 89th minute to make it 3-2, sending the Barcelona fans into a frenzy.

Raphinha’s goal came after a brilliant effort in which goalkeeper Yann Sommer made an impressive save, but the rebound fell kindly for the Brazilian, who calmly slotted the ball into the far post—what looked like the match-winner for the Spanish side.
But just when the result seemed sealed, the match took another shocking turn. In the 93rd minute, a costly mistake by young Gerard Martín allowed Inter to win the ball back. Denzel Dumfries provided a precise assist to Francesco Acerbi, who scored the equalizer to stun the home crowd and push the game into extra time.
The duel, intense and emotionally charged, turned into a tactical and psychological battle between two European heavyweights. The semifinal remains wide open and will now be decided in extra time, where one team will earn a hard-fought ticket to the grand final.
