TEHRAN (Tasnim) Inter secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League clash, earning a spot in the final.

Three-time European champion Inter, which lost the 2023 final to Manchester City, will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal in Munich on May 31. PSG beat Arsenal 1-0 in London last week in its first match. The second leg is Wednesday in Paris.

There was little sign of the drama to come at halftime, with Inter comfortably leading 2-0 after Lautaro Martnez scored and earned a penalty, which was converted by Hakan alhanolu.

But Barcelona had been in that position before, having gone 2-0 down early in the first leg last week before securing a thrilling 3-3 draw.

However, 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi stunned the visitors by scoring in stoppage time his first-ever goal in European competition forcing extra time.

Frattesi then delivered the final blow, skillfully controlling a pass from Mehdi Taremi and evading young defender Pau Cubars before slotting the ball into the net. Barcelona nearly equalized once more, but Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer made a critical fingertip save to deny Lamine Yamal and preserve the win.
