Speaking after the game, Flick said Simeone Inzaghi’s men defended very well, adding that they have a really good striker.

The German also labelled Inter Milan as a strong team.

Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 4-3 at San Siro to progress to the final on a 7-6 aggregate win.

Goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Francesco Acerbi took the game into extra-time.
