Fans are convinced there was a foul in build-up to Inter Milan equaliser vs Barcelona as close-up footage emerges

Further footage in the build-up to Inter Milan's last-gasp equaliser against Barcelona has emerged to infuriate Blaugrana fans even further.

Inter knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League after a pulsating 7-6 aggregate semi-final victory over the La Liga leaders.

The two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg last week and the second fixture was even more breathtaking.

Inter found themselves 2-0 up on the night and up 5-3 on aggregate after goals from Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu - the latter converting a penalty after a VAR review saw referee Szymon Marciniak point to the spot.

But Barca turned it around in a stunning second half. Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo struck in quick succession before Raphinha notched what he thought was the winner in the 87th minute.

However, in the dying embers when Inter threw everything, veteran centre-back Francesco Acerbi popped up with an equaliser at the death to force extra time - where the Nerazzurri prevailed courtesy of a winning goal from Davide Frattesi.

2010 winners Inter reached the Champions League final for the second time in three years but Barca felt aggrieved as they appealed for a foul on Gerard Martin prior to Acerbi's leveller.

Barcelona fans furious after seeing close-up footage of incident

Denzel Dumfries rolled the left-back before whipping in a devastating cross but Barca were adamant a foul had been committed, with manager Hansi Flick booked for his protests.

Replays of the incident were scarce but on X, a fan shared close-up, slow-mo footage which would appear to show there was contact.

The post racked up one million views and a flurry of angry responses from supporters.

One fan said: "Robbing us was the only way."

A second asked: "How come this foul was not reviewed??"

A third added: "It was a blatant foul. There was no live replay. It's shocking that our players didn't swarm the referee about it."

A fourth fumed: "Dumfries prevented Martin from reaching the ball, now the shocking thing is there wasn't even a reply, nor VAR check like it was nothing."

The defeat means Barcelona have not reached the Champions League final for a decade, with their last triumph coming in 2015 under current Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique.

Hansi Flick speaks on referee decisions against Barcelona

After the game, Flick claimed that Inter benefited from the "50-50" decisions but refused to rant about the referee as he praised his team for their efforts.

"Some decisions were 50-50 and they have always gone to Inter," Flick, a Champions League winner with Bayern Munich in 2020, said.

"That’s football. We have to accept it. I’m very proud of my team. Sometimes you think that some of the referee’s decisions are unfair. But we have to accept it and start again next season. Winning the Champions League is one of our objectives and making our fans happy. They have supported us very well. We will be back next season.

“I think about it, about the refereeing decisions but I don’t want to talk about it. It’s not fair to my team, who did a huge job. I don’t like to talk about the referee. I’ve told him what I think but I’m not going to say it here.”

Inter will play the winner of PSG and Arsenal in the final, while Barcelona will look to bounce back immediately with a crucial El Clasico clash with Real Madrid on Sunday.
