According to reports, Antonio Cassano, former Inter striker, stated during the Viva la Football podcast that Inter did not deserve to reach the UEFA Champions League final at the expense of Barcelona, and Inzaghi’s team luckily managed to advance to the Champions League final again.

Cassano, who had previously criticized Simone Inzaghi, said about the Inter-Barcelona match: “I rarely get emotional during a match, but this was one of those three or four matches that really affected me.

As an Inter fan, the joy is doubled. When Acerbi scored—I know him well and know what he’s been through—I cried. It was an amazing goal, in the style of Harry Kane; I’m happy for him and for Inter.”

Davide Frattesi’s brilliance
No one considers him or pays attention to him. But he enters Munich and scores, and against Barcelona, he scores again, so he deserves praise.

Did Inter deserve to advance?
Did Inter deserve to advance over the two legs? In my opinion, no; even on Tuesday after the 2-0 result in Inter’s favor, the ball was only in Barcelona’s possession. They created many chances, and the game could have ended 4-2 in their favor. Sommer made saves that were beyond logic; his save on Yamal’s shot was unreal, and he will certainly remember it for the rest of his life.

Barcelona played better, showed more courage and character, and created many more chances. They deserved to go to the next stage. Inter used set-pieces and played solidly, but they also got help from luck.
