It is hard to recall a more entertaining Champions League tie than Inter’s epic 7-6 win over Barcelona in the semi-finals this season.

After a 3-3 draw in the Catalan capital last week, the two teams played out another epic encounter in Milan on Tuesday.

As in the first match, Inter went two goals up, but found themselves pegged back once again. And just like last week, it finished 3-3 after 90 minutes. This time, though, the Serie A leaders came out on top in extra time in an extraordinary aggregate win which is being hailed as the most entertaining tie of all time.

Breathtaking.
