Spanish media shocked by Barca's defeat

“Barca plunged into a nightmare in Italy”, Marca described Barcelona’s defeat as “a tragedy” and “a replay of the 2010 nightmare”. The Real Madrid-friendly sports newspaper praised the “Blaugrana”’s comeback efforts, but claimed that their immature defense and moments of distraction cost the Catalan team their ticket to the final.

Meanwhile, AS reported that “Barcelona lost in one of the craziest semi-finals in Champions League history”. The newspaper focused on the drama of the match, describing it as “a football feast” but also “a stab in the arm for Hansi Flick and his team”.

In addition, AS criticized the lack of courage of young central defenders like Cubarsi and Eric Garcia in key moments.

Sport headlined “Hearts broken at Meazza”, clearly expressing disappointment. The pro-Barcelona newspaper praised the team’s fighting spirit but also stressed that “Barca were too inexperienced to maintain their advantage in the decisive moment”. The article also questioned coach Hansi Flick’s decision to make substitutions and his ability to control the match.

Inter's experience overwhelms Barca's youth.

In contrast to the disappointment in Spain, the Italian media used beautiful words to praise Inter. La Gazzetta dello Sport published the headline “Immortal Inter! A San Siro night to remember”. The prestigious sports newspaper called the home team “warriors”.

Gazzetta particularly praised Lautaro, Calhanoglu and Dumfries, while also rating Simone Inzaghi's tactics as "excellent in managing emotions and tempo".

Meanwhile, Corriere dello Sport said that Inter showed the class of a great team, knowing how to overcome adversity at the right time. Corriere also compared this victory to Mourinho's journey in 2010 and placed the hope that Inzaghi could bring Inter to the top of Europe once again.

Tuttosport praised Acerbi and Frattesi, the surprise heroes, calling the victory “an earthquake that made Europe respect Inter”.
