Inter Milan went to great lengths to overcome Barcelona in one of the most spectacular Champions League semi-finals ever contested.
Despite starting on the bench, Davide Frattesi stole the limelight as the hero of this remarkable success.
Indeed, the 25-year-old netted an extra-time winner to set a jaw-dropping 7-6 aggregate score.
According to Opta, this epic semi-final tie is now the joint-highest scoring last-four showdown in Champions League history.
The same scoreline saw Liverpool narrowly get the better of Inter’s domestic rivals Roma back in 2017/18.
