Harry Kane gave Bayern the lead in the 52nd minute, but Inter quickly turned the game around with goals from Lautaro Martínez (58′) and Benjamin Pavard (61′). Eric Dier reignited hope for the Bavarians with a goal 15 minutes from time, but no further goals were scored, and the German giants saw their dream of playing the final at their own Allianz Arena come to an end.
Inter are now aiming for a place in the final for the second time in the last three seasons. The Nerazzurri last won the trophy in 2010 under José Mourinho, when they beat Bayern in the final. That season, the Italian side completed a famous treble and now have the chance to repeat the achievement.
Bayern had won their previous four visits to Inter in European competitions. Three of those victories came in the Champions League, and the German powerhouse had kept clean sheets in all of them. Last night, the Bavarians came close to forcing extra time, but their final surge failed to produce the much-needed third goal.
