Inter Milan Reaches Champions League Final, Equaling Real Madrid's Record

Inter Milan, under coach Simone Inzaghi, reached their second Champions League final in three years by defeating Barcelona in a thrilling 7-6 aggregate semi-final, with Davide Frattesi scoring the decisive extra-time goal. This achievement places Inter alongside Real Madrid as the only clubs to reach two finals since the 2021/22 season. Inzaghi highlighted the difficulty of their path, having overcome both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, teams he called the best in Europe this season. The match was marked by dramatic moments, including a late equalizer from Francesco Acerbi and Frattesi playing through injury. Inzaghi's emotional involvement saw him nearly risk suspension after storming onto the pitch, but his players intervened to avoid disciplinary action. With this run, Inzaghi cements his legacy as one of Inter's most successful managers, continuing the club's strong European tradition.
