The match, which ended with a 4-3 in extra time, was a reflection of the fight and courage that characterizes Barça. Despite starting at a disadvantage, the culés managed to come back from a 0-2 and took the lead, but a last-minute goal from Inter dashed the hopes of reaching the final after ten years of waiting.
