“Did the Referee Decide the Semi-Final? Barcelona’s Fury After Controversial Calls in Epic Clash”

Having fought back from 2-0 down at home to draw the first leg 3-3, Barca looked to have clinched their place in the final in Munich when Raphinha fired home his 13th Champions League goal of the season three minutes from the end of normal time to put Flick’s side ahead 3-2 on the night.

Lautaro Martinez’s 21st-minute opener and Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty had earlier given Inter command, only for Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo to level the tie once more prior to Raphinha’s precise finish.

But 37-year-old centre-back Francesco Acerbi provided a stunning twist, forcing extra time with his first European goal in the 93rd minute, before Davide Frattesi finally settled an encounter that tied the record for the highest-scoring two-legged Champions League semi-final, giving Inter a 4-3 win on the night and a 7-6 aggregate triumph.
