Inter Milan is a victory away from the Champions League redemption after Tuesday’s chaotic victory, captivating Barcelona who pushed the Italians into their second final in three seasons.

Simone InzaghiThe team was in a fragile state last weeks after their triple offer climbed into the smoke, surrendering first place in Serie A Naples and being thrown out of the Italian Cup by local rivals AC Milan.

But beating the studied star Barricieand the extraordinary way in which they did it has completely changed the atmosphere in intercept who are now strong for their chances of being crowned kings of Europe for the fourth time.

Inter will take over one Arsenal OR Paris Saint-Germain WITHIN MUNICH Recognizing their task will not be nowhere near as difficult as it was two years ago when they were beaten closely by perhaps the best Manchester City Team of the Pep Guardiola era.

That one -goal loss to City in Istanbul was a bitter for Inter who thought they were the best team at night, overcoming a monstrous financial gap with the Mega Premier League club with tactics and desire.

“We’ve been thinking about this since one day after we lost the last final,” the captain said Lautaro MartinezAlmost joyfully shaking after the last whistle.

“Now we have to rest and finish the season well, knowing that we have another opportunity to make history.”

Inter have always had the reputation of being an anarchic, crazy club, as capable of grasping the loss from the jaws of victory as they are winning big titles.

Their 7-6 triumph over Barca, who collapsed in one way and the other during two barely reliable legs, lived completely until their nickname “Pazza (Mad) Inter”.

Martinez had been a fair suspicion until the eve of the match, but healed from a hamstring injury in time for both results and to win a penalty that gave Inter 2-0 half time.

AND Acerbi Francesco Would usually take a nose being so far away that he would send tie in extra time with his first goal of the Champions League, at the age of 37, as it seemed Raphinha had stamped a stunning return win for Barca.

‘Proud’ inter

Catalan giants could barely believe what they were seeing when super-sub Davide Frattesi At home he instructed his winner with extra time, unused to be the team at the end of historical losses and frustrated how their sometimes intangible game failed to keep its expected fruits.

If anything of Tuesday’s victory felt like a sign of fate for a great old team, which had to fight desperate financial difficulties and a forced change of ownership just like Inzaghi has made Inter one of Europe’s primary parties.

“We were against a great team, but we’ve raised our game for the last four or five years, every year, and we’re so proud of that,” Martinez said.

Inzaghi risked ending the season with nothing other than criticism after trying to fight on three fronts with a budget that is a dwarf from those of other major Europe clubs.

Inter, like the rest of the Serie A cash, can no longer attract the best stars in the world, so Inzaghi has had to create a team unit, a spirit that shines in the big case.

The victory in Munich would be merely reward for a coach who joined a riot club in 2021 after the two departure Antonio Conte And a herd of star players, and he was close to the sack not long before Inter arrived at the Champions League final two years later.

Inzaghi’s ability was questioned after Inter lost a dramatic Serie A battle titled Milan in his first season and then ended 18 points after 2023 champions Naples.

But he has since set up to become one of the elite football coaches and now he and Inter have the opportunity to win the biggest prize of club football.
