FC Bayern Munich offered Inter Milan a courageous fight in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the football champions League, but three inattentive minutes and two corner balls cost the German record champions in the end.
After the 1-2 in the first leg, the second meeting ended on Wednesday evening (April 16, 2025) in the Giuseppe-Mazza Stadium 2: 2 (0: 0), which means that for the Munich team against series A. Inter Milan now meets Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona in the semifinals.
Harry Kane achieved the Munich lead in the 52nd minute, Lautaro Martinez (58th) and Benjamin Pavard (61.) turned the game before Eric dier did the equalization again (76.). In the end, a hit for the extension was missing.
Bavaria’s Müller praises Inters Italian “buffalo”
“We play against the best team in Italy who have conceded two goals in front of us in the entire Champions League season”after the game at “DAZN”, Thomas Müller classified the performance shown: “In the end, I saw players on the pitch who did and gave everything. […] If someone goes in again in the last five minutes, then we may open the gate again. But it wasn’t like that today. “
A “real” Müller set was also available with a view to the many half chances: “Of course, the Italians also block well with their buffalo.”
Müller and Olise get started with Bayern
In the rainy Milan, coach Vincent Kompany set the same line -up as at the weekend against Borussia Dortmund, so played with Müller, Minjae Kim and without Raphael Guerreiro. Müller equated with his 163rd assignment in the “premier class” on his last European Cup evening in the Bayern jersey with Lionel Messi. Only Iker Casillas (177) and Cristiano Ronaldo (183) have more missions.
The game started directly. Just 90 seconds were played when Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig had to be wide awake and intercept a passed pass on Marcus Thuram with an energetic jump.
Inter-goalkeeper summer directly under pressure
But the very active Munichers were also present several times in the opposing sixteen. Michael Olise’s shot after Hacken-Filung from Müller was just blocked (3rd), Yann Sommer parried a Müller-Groß shortly afterwards (5th).
The Kompany-Elf pressed the hosts extremely high, the Italians, on the other hand, placed the midfield in the Munich structure and then retreated closed to lurk on switching moments.
Bavaria active, but Inter lurks
In the meantime, the Bavarians had almost 70 percent possession and especially the Duo Müller/Olise kept combined with each other. On the other hand, at Bavaria, however, every pinprick of the hosts immediately caused huge turmoil on the defensive of the Bundesliga club.
After half an hour, the encounter had calmed down a little bit and the first Bayern vortex was over. Shortly before the break, however, it was again the guests who won properly. But almost always one of the very well organized Milan legs was somehow in the penultimate moment. Bayern had nine degrees during the change of sides, the hosts seven.
Bavaria’s Kane briefly ensures great hope
In round two Milan caught the better start, Urbig parried an unpleasant conclusion to the short corner in the 50th minute, but then the Bavarians struck: Leon Goretzka conquered a ball that was too short and then put right into the penalty area. The Englishman stood in isolation against Federico Dimarco, who did him the favor and acted rather – Kane laid him out with a short movement and shot into the far corner for 1-0 (52nd).
The cheers almost lasted for 60 seconds. But Thuram brought the ball into trouble in a counterattack only central to Urbig.
Twice corner – Inter Milan meets twice
In the end, the guests led more than 60, but also not more than 180 seconds. Dimarco found Lautaro Martinez with a corner from the left, who first process the ball too undisturbed and then enforced with a low shot from a short distance (58.). The Bavarians protested, had seen a slight arm contact when accepting Lautaro, but the hit withstood the check.
The Bundesliga club seemed visibly shocked, Inter pushed for the 2-1 – and was therefore successful. Eric dier clarified shortly before the goal line to the corner, but this time, this time from the right, led to the next goal. Pavard skipped the unfortunate Kim and nodded (61.).
Two badly defended corners within three minutes had tipped the game. Müller called the way the goals in the game analysis later called “clumsy”. Already in the 2-2 against Dortmund, Bayern had both goals to flank, one of which even collected after a corner kick. Previously against Augsburg, it was also a high -tabled dormant ball that had led to the Augsburg lead.
Diers Fantasy head Resting exciting final phase
Kompany now brought Guerreiro for Kim and Serge Gnabry for Leroy Sané – the Munichers had not gave up. Olise failed in the 75th minute on the long post completely freely on the shiny -shortening summer, but the subsequent corner brought the equalization and new hope.
After the short -played corner, Gnabry got the ball, flanked all over to the other side from the right. On the baseline next to the long post, the ball wanted to put the ball in front of the goal, but the play equipment got such a swim that it got longer and longer with almost impossible trajectory and lowered the goal (76.).
Inter-fans cheer every defense campaign
Inter now withdrew completely, the Bavarians played almost like in handball around the hosts’ penalty area and looked for a gap to 3: 2. A cross from the very invigorating Gnabry missed friend and enemy (90.+1), after which Kane from a difficult reserve shot a volley acceptance over the goal.
The stadium now cheered every defense campaign of the “Nerazzurri“, only the FCB-and in the 90th+5 parried summer a very last champions League Bavaria header from Müller.
