Inter Milan secures Champions League semi-final spot and remains in contention for a historic treble. Read more about their journey.

Inter Milan's treble dream remains alive after they reached the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich. A 2-2 draw in the second leg saw Inter progress, with Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard scoring within three minutes of each other to cancel out Harry Kane's strike. Eric Dier's looping header in the 76th minute earned Bayern a draw, but it wasn't enough to continue their European bid.

“We don't give up, we have personality and heart and intelligence. We were definitely on the back foot at times today but we showed again today that we can do great things,” Martinez said, highlighting the team's resilience in awful conditions at the San Siro. Inter will face Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Inter Milan remains in contention for a historic treble repeat, currently holding a three-point lead in Serie A and advancing to the Italian Cup semi-finals against AC Milan. Their Champions League semi-final spot sets up a potential showdown with Barcelona, a team they previously beat en route to the 2010 title under Jose Mourinho.

“We think about winning everything at the start of every season, because if we don't then we shouldn't play this sport. That's our mentality,” Lautaro Martinez said, highlighting the team's ambitious mindset. Inter will host the second leg of their semi-final against Barcelona at the San Siro on May 6, a potential advantage in their pursuit of European glory.
