Inter edge out Bayern to reach Champions League semis

Inter Milan secured their spot in the Champions League semi-finals with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at San Siro Stadium.

After taking a 2-1 lead from the first leg, Inter’s advantage was erased by Harry Kane’s early second-half strike.

However, the Italian champions responded strongly, taking control of the tie with two goals in quick succession.

Lautaro Martinez scored the first goal, lashing home from six yards after the ball dropped kindly for him from a corner.

Just three minutes later, Benjamin Pavard powered in a header from Hakan Calhanoglu’s corner delivery.

Bayern Munich refused to give up, equalizing through Eric Dier’s looping header with 14 minutes remaining. Despite pushing for a winner to force extra time, Inter held firm, with Yann Sommer making crucial saves, including denying Thomas Muller in added time.

In a tense finish, Bayern’s Josip Stanisic regrettably pushed a ballboy who was deliberately wasting time.

Inter’s 4-3 aggregate victory sets up a semi-final clash against Barcelona.
