This semi-final will go down as one of the best in the tournament’s history.
Just like in the first leg in Spain, Inter raced into a 2-0 lead, only to be pegged by Barcelona.
After Lautaro Martinez had put Inter ahead following good work from team-mate Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Calhanoglu converted a penalty at the end of the first half to leave Barcelona 5-3 behind on aggregate and in massive trouble.
But Hansi Flick’s side dominated the second half.
Former Manchester City defender Eric Garcia volleyed one back for Barcelona before Dani Olmo’s fine diving header in the 60th minute from Gerard Martin’s cross made it 2-2 on the night and 5-5 on aggregate.
Raphinha grabbed what appeared to be an 87th-minute winner as Barca went ahead for the first time in the tie, when he converted a rebound after Sommer had saved his first strike.
Inter saved themselves, although Yamal had a chance to win the tie in the sixth minute of stoppage time only for Sommer to make a vital stop.
The hosts then retook the lead in extra time, but Barca still created chances, only for substitute Robert Lewandowski to head over and for 18-year-old Yamal to be denied by Sommer’s superb one-handed save.
This tie was the joint-highest scoring semi-final tie in the Champions League history, matching the 13 goals scored when Liverpool defeated Roma 7-6 on aggregate in 2017-18.
