119 mins: De Jong robs an Inter player near the hosts’ box and Barca break.
Bastoni goes into the break for what looked like a pull-back somewhere in that move. Now De Jong tries to find Gavi but Inter head it away…
Two minutes to go. A still-sprightly Yamal has another pop and it goes behind for a corner.

117 mins: Simone Inzaghi, in an absolutely soaked suit, is glued to his touchline.
The volume ratchets up a notch in the San Siro as Inter fail to properly deal with another raft of Barca chances. Sommer palms away another strike by Yamal and Lewandowski can only knock the rebound onto the roof of the net. Living dangerously.

CLOSE! Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona (agg 7-6)

111 mins: Yamal floats in another cross but this one drifts harmlessly wide of goal.
Frattesi hooks it wide to Darmian, who sends it goalward. Inter build… but it creeps out of play. Much more urgency, as you’d expect, from Barca than the hosts.

CHANCE! Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona (agg 7-6)
109 mins: Yamal nearly wreaks havoc again, whipping in a crisp ball from the right across the front of goal. Sommer is beaten but Lewandowski gets his angle wrong under pressure from Darmian and heads it over the bar!
A visibly exhausted Dumfries limps off to be replaced by compatriot de Vrij.
Now Inter counter, Taremi guides it back to Frattesi but Szczesny makes the vital save!

EXTRA TIME, SECOND HALF: Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona (agg 7-6)
106 mins: This is now the joint-highest scoring Champions League final, along with Liverpool 7-6 Roma in 2017/18.
Barca make two subs: Gavi and Pau Victor come on for Cubarsi and Pedri. Pau Victor is on a booking already.

EXTRA TIME HALF-TIME: Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona (agg 7-6)
105+3 mins: Thuram wins a free-kick 30 yards out or so from a foul by Araujo, and Inter take it at a relaxed pace, as you’d expect.
Dumfries has it on the right flank and squares it to Frattesi, who fancies another, but his cross in is cleared.
The whistle goes for half time and there’s some dismay from Inter’s players at the timing, right as they were attacking, and Simone Inzaghi is actually shoved off the pitch by a substitute to avoid a scene!
