Inter player ratings vs Barcelona: What a game - Davide Frattesi and Francesco Acerbi prove the unlikely Champions League heroes while Yann Sommer stands tall to secure place in the final

Yann Sommer (7.5/10):

Sommer's insistence on punching away crosses is rather unsettling and he has to take his share of the blame for Raphinha's goal by giving the Brazilian two bites at the cherry. However, his point-blank save from Eric Garcia was extraordinary and how he managed to tip Lamine Yamal's goal-bound effort around the post with his fingertips only Sommer will know.

Yann Bisseck (5/10):

The German began brightly enough, using his physical attributes to good effect, but he always looked a liability in possession and Inzaghi was right to haul him off early.

Francesco Acerbi (9/10):

An absolutely Herculean performance from the veteran, who held Inter's creaking defence together before going up front to level the game in injury time with a finish that Lautaro would have been proud of. Truly inspirational stuff.

Alessandro Bastoni (8/10):

After some initial sloppiness, Bastoni grew into the game and made one sensational sliding tackle on Lamine Yamal during the first half, while also stepping out of defence whenever he could to help break the Barca press. Inter wouldn't have got over the line without him.

Denzel Dumfries (8/10):

Once again caused Barca all sorts of problems with his surges down the right flank and, given the damage he did in Barcelona, it came as no surprise to see the Dutchman, who was also solid defensively, set up the opener for Lautaro and the equaliser for Acerbi.

Nicolo Barella (7/10):

The multi-talented midfielder was by no means at his best. Indeed, he was caught in possession more than once. However, you just cannot fault Barella for effort. Never stopped running and carried a real attacking threat, testing Wojciech Szczesny with a couple of good strikes.

Hakan Calhanoglou (6/10):

Repeatedly recovered possession for Inter during the first half, while also showing nerves of steel to stick away his penalty. However, his passing, his supposed forte, was once again poor and he was subbed with just over 10 minutes of normal time to go.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (6.5/10):

The Armenian's work-rate was fantastic and he also went close to scoring with one well-struck volley. He faded the longer the game went on, though, and was so fortunate to narrowly avoid giving away a penalty for a stupid tackle on Yamal.

Federico Dimarco (7/10):

After his horror-show at Montjuic, Dimarco was his usual dynamic self at San Siro before running out of steam. His tenacious tackling really upset Yamal, while he deserved the 'assist' for the game's opening goal, as he won the ball off Dani Olmo in midfield before splitting open the Barca backline with his clever pass to Dumfries.

Lautaro Martinez (7/10):

A major injury doubt for the game but the captain not only started, he scored too, making no mistake after being presented with a gift-wrapped chance by Dumfries. Such a shame for Inter that he didn't have more than 70 minutes in him.

Marcus Thuram (8/10):

The Frenchman led the line superbly, holding the ball up brilliantly and bringing others into play, while also causing problems with his runs in behind. He was starved of service for nearly the entirety of the second half but he kept going and played a pivotal part in Frattesi's goal with a brilliant bit of play on the right flank.

Carlos Augusto (5/10):

Came on 10 minutes into the second half and was immediately burned by Yamal. Was also caught in no man's land on Olmo's equaliser.

Mehdi Taremi (7/10):

Took over up top from Lautaro and created Frattesi's goal with a lovely lay-off in the area.

Matteo Darmian (7/10):

Part of a double-substitution with Taremi with 20 minutes of normal time to go and did well on the right-hand side of the back three, making some timely interceptions.

Piotr Zielinski (6):

Introduced in the closing stages of normal time and injected some much-needed energy into the Inter midfield.

Davide Frattesi (8):

Inter's super-sub once again made a massive impact off the bench with a wonderfully well-taken goal.

Stefan de Vrij (7):

Brought on for an exhausted Dumfries in the second half of extra-time and made a stunning clearance in the final seconds that drew a priceless foul.

Simone Inzaghi (8/10):

With Inter's ageing squad stretched to breaking point, the coach was forced to take a few gambles. Not all of them paid off but starting Lautaro and sticking Acerbi up front certainly did! An extraordinary achievement to knock out this Barca side over two legs.
