101. Unbelievable scenes in Milan.
Thuram does so well holding the ball up, waiting for support.
It is played into the middle and laid off into the path of Frattesi.
A superb finish gives the keeper no chance at all.
4-3!!!!!!
INTER ARE BACK IN THE LEAD!!!!
97. Pedri looks to slot a pass through the middle.
There is just a little too much pace on it.
Fine margins at these levels.
93. It is crazy to comprehend that despite their performances, Barca have only been in the lead over the two legs for a total of five minutes.
That shows just how much Inter deserved that late goal to take us into another thirty minutes.
Whoever goes at this stage, it will feel like a crushing blow.
FT: Inter 3-3 Barcelona (6-6 AGG).
THE GAME HAS COME TO AN END, BUT THE TIE HASN’T, ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINALS OF ALL TIME!
90+5. Insane scenes in the San Siro.
Acerbi has just scored his first-ever goal in Europe for his team.
He is in his 20th season with the Milan giants.
Wow.
IT’S 3-3!!!!!!!! INTER ARE BACK
CRAZY GAME!!!!!!!
88. What a comeback from the Catalan giants.
Raphinha has a sight of goal but his shot is straight at Sommer who blocks it.
It comes straight back to the former Leeds Utd man and he drills it into the far corner to put them ahead in the tie late on.
BARCELONA FINALLY TAKE THE LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-3!!!!
RAPHINHA HAS SCORED AND SENDS BARCELONA TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
82. We are into the final stages of this game.
Stick or twist time for both sides.
It is horrible losing games late on, will they opt to take this to extra-time instead.
74. Some of these Inter players are running out of gas.
You wonder if they could survive 30 minutes of this.
Currently, it seems like a goal for the visitors is immenent.
Yamal strikes the set-piece at goal but it deflects over the target off the back of de Jong
IT’S OUTSIDE THE BOX, NO PENALTY!
FREE KICK!
PENALTY TO BARCELONA.. YAMAL BROUGHT DOWN!!!!
VAR CHECK ONGOING
60. Wow, what a game this and that goal complimented it.
A curling cross into the box, measured to perfection.
It made Olmo’s job of heading home seem a simple task.
We are all square again in Milan.

54. What a finish from the former Man City full-back ERIC GARCIA.
As a cross is clipped into the middle, he meets it on the volley and cushions it into the far corner.
Now we have a game on our hands in Italy.
BARCELONA PULL ONE BACK
GAME ON!!!!!
INTER 2-1 BARCELONA
52. As good as Yamal is, he is struggling to impose himself.
Even the Barca legend Messi sometimes struggled when crowded out with numbers.
His teammates need to take the defenders away from him with runs in behind them.
As a ball is lofted into the visitors’ box, Acerbi heads home but it is immediately ruled out for offside.
50. It has been all Barcelona since the interval.
However, they are all possession without penetration.
That will suit Inter right down to the ground.
HALF TIME
Inter Milan 2-0 Barcelona (AGG: 5-3)
CALHANOGLU HAS DOUBLED THE LEAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE BARCELONA ARE NOT GOING TO REACH THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
INTER MILAN HAVE GOT THE SECOND!!!
INTER 2-0 BARCELONA
INTER MILAN HAVE A PENALTY!!!! WHAT A GAME
41. What a chance for the hosts.
A long throw in the box is half-cleared and drops to Çalhanoglu in the middle of the penalty area.
He swipes at it with his left-boot and it narrowly misses the near post.
33. Inter seem happy to concede possession to the visitors.
Knowing they are so effective with counter-attacking style.
They will be sweating on Martinez making the full match still.
29. Olmo is really stretching the Inter defence.
He seems to have the freedom to just find pockets of space all over the pitch.
On this occasion, he holds onto it too long and the hosts have players back to block his path to goal
25. This is the perfect start for Inter Milan.
Barcelona will have no chance but to venture forward more, in search of an equaliser.
That is where the Italians will try and hit them with quick counters.
Inter are pressing forward more.
Barcelona are making themselves difficult to break down.
You feel the hosts are more dangerous when attacks the visitors break down and leave them short at the back.
MARTINEZ GOAL
???? LAUTARO MARTINEZ SCORES VS BARCELONA BIG GOAL ????????????pic.twitter.com/Dls7PhiKK6

20. GOAL!!!!!!LAUTARO MARTINEZ
INTER LEAD 1-0
DENZEL DUMFRIES WITH THE ASSIST
17. Great cross into the box from the hosts.
Martinez is lurking as it arrows in towards him.
However, Barca’s Martinez is able to put it behind for a corner.
15. Yamal tries a speculative effort from outside the box.
He hasn’t got his angles worked out just yet as he curls it straight into the arms of the keeper.
First shot of the match after fifteen minutes.
13. It will be interesting to see how many runs Martinez makes.
We know he is not completely fit but his high pressing was causing problems for the Spanish side.
This time he threads Thuram in behind the defence but as he tries to round the keeper, he gets an important had to the ball.
Then the flag goes up for offside.
9. Yamal looks frightening running with the ball.
It is rare to see a player where he is just as quick running with the ball than without it.
Almost like it is glued to his foot.
7. Both sides are showing attacking intent.
A goal for either side would really ignite this match.
We didn’t have to wait too long last week.
5. Garcia is struggling with the pace of Di Marco.
He tugs at the player several times before the referee tackes action.
Inter needs these marauding runs all evening.
3. The visitors are looking to play their patient passing game.
As they look to find pockets of space, they can spring into life with a series of one-touch passes.
Inter need to try and ask some questions of them defensively as they did in Spain.
Kick-off: Inter Milan vs Barcelona (AGG: 3-3)
We are underway at the San Siro.
75,000 fans making some noise in Italy.
Inter Milan get the game started.
