BREAKING: Inter Milan beat Barcelona after one of best ever ties to reach Champions League final

Barcelona and Inter Milan played out a Champions League tie for the ages, before the Italians sealed their place in the final after 120 thrilling minutes. For the second time in just six days, the two European heavyweights played out a six-goal thriller in normal time, before Inter finally clinched the tie 7-6 on aggregate in extra time.

After a remarkable first leg which ended 3-3, Inter Milan put themselves in the driving seat in the second, establishing a two-goal lead in front of their own fans.

Lautaro Martinez put them in front, before Hakan Calhanoglu scored a controversial penalty to ensure they were leading by two goals at the halfway point of the second leg. But as they did in the first meeting, roared back and scored three second-half goals, through Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo and then Raphinha.

The final of those three came with just two minutes of normal time remaining. Lamine Yamal then had the chance to kill the tie, but saw his stoppage-time effort come back off the post.

He was instantly made to rue that miss when veteran defender Francesco Acerbi scored a 93rd-minute equaliser to send the tie into extra time. And Davide Frattesi then put Inter back in front on the night, and on aggregate nine minutes into the additional 30.

That goal - the 13th of the tie - finally proved to be the decisive one, but only after some Yann Sommer heroics denied Yamal in the closing minutes.

Inter will now play or Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena on May 31. The French side hold a slender one-goal advantage ahead of Wednesday night's second at the Parc des Princes.
