Inter Reaches Champions League Semifinals and Will Face Barcelona
Inter Milan have secured a place in the UEFA Champions League semifinals after a thrilling 2–2 draw against Bayern Munich at San Siro. With a 4–3 aggregate win, Simone Inzaghi’s side advances to face Barcelona in the next round.
The second leg in Milan turned into an intense battle, especially in the second half. Harry Kane opened the scoring for Bayern in the 52nd minute, reigniting the German side’s hopes. But Inter quickly responded: Lautaro Martínez equalized in the 58th minute, and Benjamin Pavard gave the hosts the lead just three minutes later.
Bayern refused to give up. Eric Dier scored in the 76th minute to level the match and bring Bayern within reach of extra time, but Inter's defense, anchored by Francesco Acerbi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, held firm. Mkhitaryan played the full 90 minutes and was instrumental in controlling the midfield.
In the semifinals, Inter will face Barcelona, who had already booked their spot in the next round.
In the other match of the day, Arsenal defeated Real Madrid for the second time — this time 2–1 — and progressed to the semifinals with a 5–1 aggregate score. The Gunners will face Paris Saint-Germain next.
