There is something about the Champions League, Josh, not just this year but whenever we get down to the knockout stage, that it always seems to deliver.

As you might have already noticed, we are running a poll at the top of this page asking you to pick your favourite from recent classic Champions League semi-finals.

Of course, Inter's gripping 4-3 defeat of Barcelona - 7-6 on aggregate - from last night rightly finds its place in there.

But let's also take a look at the other three contenders...

Inter Milan's match-winner Davide Frattesi speaking at the full-time whistle: "What happened? I don't know! I celebrated so loudly that my head was spinning.

"After the game in Munich, I thought I would never experience anything like this again in terms of emotions.

"But that's the beauty of football. It's part of my career; I've always been the first to believe and the last to give up."

Read the room Paul! Just kidding, all opinions here are welcome, and we did flag Yann Sommer's efforts earlier. 7-6 thrillers aren't for everyone, we understand that...

Oh to be able to turn a hobby into your job...

Hang on, I get paid [not as much as Alan] to watch football and write about it, so I can't complain.

Although did I mention I turned off the TV last night at 11pm and woke up to a 4.40am alarm call?

I know, I can hear your tiny violins playing in unison...

It gave us everything. From start to finish, last week to this week, everything about this semi-final has been pure entertainment.

We didn't expect this, did we?

We expected a good game, but this? Thank you Inter Milan, thank you Barcelona for providing us with incredible entertainment and two great football matches.

What we have witnessed has been something very special. It's been a pleasure to be here.

We touched on this earlier, but Alan Shearer really rather enjoyed himself in the Amazon Prime commentary box...

Inter won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965 and clinched the Champions League in 2010, when Jose Mourinho guided them to a 2-0 win in the final against Bayern Munich.

No Italian side has won the competition since then - Juventus lost in the 2015 and 2017 finals, before Rodri scored the only goal for Manchester City against Inter in the final two years ago.

Simone Inzaghi was Inter's manager then and he has again plotted a route to the final, while also putting them in contention to win a second successive Italian Serie A title. They are second in their domestic league, three points behind leaders Napoli with three games to go.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have been European champions five times, but have not reached the final since their last success in 2015.

They still have a chance to grab their third domestic trophy this season as they hold a four-point lead at the top of La Liga over reigning champions Real Madrid.

Barca entertain Real in El Clasico on Sunday and a victory would go a long way to securing a 28th Spanish title - and only their second in the past six campaigns.

Michael, Edinburgh: Re Mat, 7:14 - the scoring pattern was actually Inter, Inter, Barca, Barca, Inter, Barca, Inter, Inter, Barca, Barca, Barca, Inter, Inter. Not as pleasingly symmetrical, but more accurate!

Thanks for fact-checking Michael and Efeturi [hangs head in shame]. It was early, what can I say...

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 hit the woodwork with a long-range effort before being presented with the 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.

Inter Milan produced a dramatic late turnaround to beat Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate in a thrilling, all-time classic of a Champions League semi-final.

With just two minutes of added time left, Inter trailed 3-2 on the night and were heading out when centre-back Francesco Acerbi smashed a cross into the roof of the net to level the tie, the 37-year-old charging around with his shirt off in wild celebrations.

And there were more ecstatic scenes when substitute Davide Frattesi won it for the Italian champions, curling a beautiful left-footed shot into the bottom corner in the first period of extra-time before climbing up a security fence to celebrate in front of Inter's fans.

It means a second Champions League final in three seasons for three-time European champions Inter after two legs of incredible drama which saw 13 goals and a tie turned on its head on several occasions.

Inter, who lost 1-0 to Manchester City in the 2023 final, will play either Paris St-Germain or Arsenal at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena on Saturday, 31 May in the 2025 showpiece.

OK, let's walk back through last night's game now together.

For those who missed it, sit down as there is a lot to take in...

That Liverpool comeback against AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final was quite the rollercoaster, Jed.

The competition as a whole has thrown up some fantastic matches over the years, and it seems many of the most dramatic knockout ties have come at the semi-final stage.

We have a poll for you today - at the top of this page - with a selection of four recent classics, including last night's match at the San Siro.

Can you pick a favourite?

If you need to jog your memory then have a read of this feature. We also have some posts on each semi-final coming up.

It's Champions League all the way this morning before we come up for air at around 13:00 BST, when Manchester United will be holding their pre-match news conference before Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg at home to Athletic Bilbao.

There will also be the latest before Tottenham's last-four Europa League decider at Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.

And then focus will switch back to the Champions League and tonight's second semi-final second leg between Paris St-Germain and Arsenal at the Parc des Princes.
