Inter Milan hero nearly fainted.

Midfielder Davide Frattesi nearly fainted from celebrating the decisive goal that helped Inter Milan beat Barcelona 4-3 (7-6 on aggregate) in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on the morning of May 7th.

Frattesi scored the decisive penalty that sent Inter into the final.

Speaking after the match, Davide Frattesi admitted: "I almost fainted from celebrating so enthusiastically, but luckily I managed to stay standing. I nearly passed out from being so emotional."

He added: "I have to thank the physiotherapists. Yesterday I was suffering from abdominal muscle pain, but they helped me recover in time. The doctors worked miracles. I wasn't blessed with any special talent, but I've always been persistent and hardworking."

When asked about his feelings, the 25-year-old midfielder choked up: "I don't know how to describe it. I thought the feeling after the Bayern Munich quarter-final was the peak, but tonight was even crazier. This is the beauty of football."

In the 99th minute, Davide Frattesi became the hero when he unleashed a decisive shot amidst a swarm of Barcelona players, scoring the winning goal and sending Inter into the final.

At the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, Inter and Barcelona created a classic showdown in Champions League history. 7-6 is the highest aggregate score ever recorded in the semi-finals of the most prestigious cup competition on the continent.

The Serie A representatives have reached the Champions League final for the second time in the last three years. Simone Inzaghi's team will face either Arsenal or PSG in Munich.

Frattesi's goal sank Barca: In the 99th minute of extra time, Frattesi sealed the victory for Inter. Barca lost 3-4 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on the morning of May 7th.
