Inter Milan book place in Champions League final ahead of potential Arsenal meeting
While Arsenal have been playing out a tense tie with PSG, the other Champions League semi-final has seen goals galore between Barcelona and Inter Milan.
A 3-3 draw played out at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium in the first leg, where goals from Marcus Thuram and a brace from Denzel Dumfries seemed to give the away side a lead.
Finishes from Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres were added to with an unfortunate own goal by Yann Sommer.
The second leg was finely poised as a result, with the San Siro playing host to the clash on Tuesday night.
A similar pattern played out in the second leg as Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu gave Inter a two-goal lead.
A second-half comeback followed from Barcelona, as goals from Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, and Raphinha seemingly sealed victory.
Francesco Acerbi had other ideas as he bagged a goal in stoppage time to make it 3-3 on the night and 6-6 on aggregate, with extra time enforced.
In extra time, Davide Frattesi gave the lead back to Inter Milan, swinging the tie once more.
It means that, if Arsenal manage to squeeze past PSG in the semi-final, they will face Inter Milan in the final of this season’s Champions League.
