In particular, the 25-year-old star scored two crucial goals in the Champions League: one against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the quarter-finals and the decisive goal in the 90+9th minute that helped Inter Milan beat Barcelona 4-3 in the second leg of the semi-finals.

Dubbed the "lucky charm" of Inter Milan by the Italian press, Davide Frattesi shared some interesting insights with Sky Italia.

* How does it feel to be in the Champions League final?

- It's unbelievable, I'm speechless. After Munich, nobody thought we could repeat those emotions at that level. But we did it with an unbelievable scenario. That's the beauty of football!

What is the secret to Inter Milan's spectacular comeback?

- I always believed Inter Milan would reach the final. Even when the score was 2-3 in favor of Barcelona, ​​I still told Marcus Thuram: "Marcus, don't worry, we'll reach the final." I don't know how Acerbi scored that goal, but it was crazy!

* He also scored a winning goal against Barcelona, ​​so why is it always him?

- I don't have any special talent, but I'm always the last one to give up. That's the reward for my dedication.

* How did you feel after scoring against Barcelona?

- I was lucky, and my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest; it was an incredibly intense feeling. I experienced something like this the night in Munich, and I didn't think I'd ever feel it again. But this time it was even crazier because my mother, father, sister, fiancée, and friends were all in the stadium watching me play.

* Was this one of the best matches ever?

- Thirteen goals in two matches is a spectacular achievement for all fans, especially those who love attacking football. It was a fantastic sight. I am very proud of Inter Milan. For me, it was a great game. I and many of my teammates endured pain and fatigue... Having done everything to win, I feel very happy.

How will you celebrate this victory?

- Maybe we should wait until after the final to celebrate, because we want to win the cup. But what I want most right now is to rest; I'm really tired...
