Inter emerged victorious over Barcelona with a thrilling 4-3 scoreline, narrowly escaping elimination when Raphinha’s last-minute strike in the 87th minute almost sent Barcelona to Munich after the first leg ended in a 3-3 draw.
However, Francesco Acerbi’s equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time pushed the match into extra time.
Frattesi then became the hero in the 99th minute, earning Simone Inzaghi’s team a chance to compete in their second Champions League final in three years.
They previously lost 1-0 to Manchester City in 2023, with Rodri scoring the decisive goal.
During his post-match interview with CBS, the Italian international had pundits Thierry Henry, Micah Richards, and Jamie Carragher in fits of laughter with his comments.
Henry praised the midfielder, noting, “I didn’t see a man that was nervous; I saw a guy that was composed to finish at that time, in that tie, in that game.”
“What went through your mind at that moment?” the former Arsenal star asked from CBS’ London studio.
