Yamal was silent in the rain of goals, Inter Milan dramatically defeated Barcelona to enter the Champions League final

Barcelona lost because of the referee?

According to Barcelona coach Hansi Flick: "Maybe I spoke about the referee, but I want to wish Inter Milan good luck. They did very well. I wish them good luck in the final. Every 50/50 decision the referee made, he made a decision in favor of Inter Milan. This makes me very sad".

At San Siro, Barcelona started the match with enthusiasm, with young talent Lamine Yamal constantly causing trouble for Inter Milan's defense with his brilliant dribbling. In total, Yamal had 14 dribbles during the match, setting a new record in the Champions League. But unfortunately, the opportunities created by Yamal were not taken advantage of by teammates like Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo to score.

On the contrary, Inter Milan played very effectively, taking advantage of every mistake of their opponent to punish them with 2 goals by Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu (penalty) scored in the 21st and 45+1st minutes to lead Barcelona 2-0 after the first half.

In the second half, Barcelona made a spectacular comeback with Yamal's efforts, helping Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo score two consecutive goals in the 54th and 60th minutes to equalize the score 2-2.

At the end of the match, Barcelona seemed to have a ticket to the final in their hands when Raphinha scored in the 87th minute to raise the score to 3-2. However, the drama happened when 37-year-old defender Acerbi scored a goal of his life in the 90+3 minute to help Inter Milan equalize the score 3-3 like the first leg. Thereby, the two teams entered extra time.

In extra time, substitute Davide Frattesi became Inter Milan's hero, scoring the decisive goal in the 99th minute to make it 4-3, leaving Barcelona players slumped to the ground in disappointment.

This result saw Barcelona eliminated in pain with a final score of 6-7, while Inter Milan celebrated loudly, continuing their unbeaten record at home at San Siro in the Champions League this season.

In the final, Inter Milan will meet PSG or Arsenal (first leg PSG won 1-0, second leg takes place at 2am on May 8), in the championship match taking place at 2am on June 1 (Vietnam time) in Munich (Germany).
