Inter Milan Vs Barcelona Joins List of Highest-Scoring UCL Knockout Matches – See Others
Inter Milan Vs Barcelona UEFA Champions League semi-final tie in the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League campaign has joined the list of highest-scoring knockout ties in the competition’s history.
On Tuesday night, May 6, Inter Milan edged out Barcelona in a dramatic 7–6 aggregate victory, following a thrilling 4–3 extra-time win at the iconic San Siro.
With the first leg ending 3–3 at Camp Nou, the second leg provided another spectacle, culminating in Francesco Acerbi’s stoppage-time equalizer that forced the game into extra time.
Substitute Davide Frattesi then emerged as the hero, netting the decisive goal that sealed Inter’s spot in the final and sent the home fans into wild celebrations.
Barcelona, who came into the second leg with renewed optimism, were left heartbroken after falling short despite scoring six goals across the two legs.
