Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Champions League semi-final, as it is winner takes all between Inter and Barcelona following a 3-3 thriller.
It kicks off at San Siro at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT, 21.00 CET).
The first leg was a crazy 3-3 draw that saw the Nerazzurri leading 2-0 and 3-1 only to be pegged back.
With no away goals rule, it means a winner will be decided tonight after 90 minutes, extra time or even penalties.
The victors will face either Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain in the Final on May 31.
That’s all for the Liveblog. Inter are in the Champions League Final!
“I have no words for what happened this evening,” Dimarco told Sky Sport Italia.
“We recovered to win an incredible match, it really is a wonderful night of Champions League football.
“There are two strong opponents who we could face in the Final, but we play to win.
“We were a real team tonight, we always stayed concentrated. Plus people keep talking about cauldron like atmospheres around Europe, but I tell you, there’s nothing out there like San Siro.
“Inzaghi is our chief, he shows us the way and always has the right words during difficult moments, even if it means taking the tension out with a joke. We must congratulate him, because after losing the Scudetto to Milan that first year, it was an uphill struggle.
“When I am on the bench, I want to transmit my sense of belonging and help my teammates from there too.
“We’re happy Lautaro managed to play, especially as he scored and won the penalty.”
“It’s incredible, the team was amazing. The last save on Yamal felt special, because he is such a strong player, he always cuts inside and curls. I am happy that one didn’t go in!
“The Acerbi goal was a perfect example of what we are like, going up there to score. It was just unbelievable, we are very happy.”
“I was fortunate to see out the game, as I was celebrating so much I was dizzy and nearly had a blackout! I have to thank the physios, because yesterday I had an abdominal strain, so they did incredibly work getting me fit for this match.
“It’s just incredible, I don’t know what to say. I thought after the Bayern Munich game I couldn’t repeat that emotion, but it was even more incredible tonight. This is the beauty of football.
“This has been my career, really. I wasn’t blessed with incredible talent, but I am the last to give up and the first to believe, so this is a reward for effort and dedication.
“I couldn’t believe it, but once we were on 3-3, I told Marcus don’t worry, we’ll go through. I was exhausted even before I came off the bench, as we were standing up and screaming constantly, with hands in our hair at every move, so we practically played along with them!”
2 – Since Simone Inzaghi's joined the Nerazzurri (from 2021/22), Inter are one of the two clubs to have reached the most finals in Champions League, level with Real Madrid: both twice in four seasons. Infinity.#UCL #InterBarça #InterBarcellona pic.twitter.com/IjsATFbBOc

It sends Inter into their second Champions League Final in the last three years, so they will face either Arsenal or Paris Saint-Germain in the Final in Munich on May 31.
Beppe Bergomi is literally crying on the Sky Sport Italia commentary.
Fermin Lopez pulls it back from the by-line with a header for Araujo, but De Vrij clears and is fouled for good measure!
Into 2 minutes of added time!
Sommer punches it over, another corner.
Yamal cross-shot deflected for a corner.
Bastoni takes one for the team dragging back Yamal in midfield.
Barella can barely stand.
Sommer again to deny Lamine Yamal, this time the angled drive was straight at him, but then Lewandowski turned the rebound over!
Sommer then plucks the corner out of the air too!
Both teams are exhausted. Barca overhit the cross, then Taremi does the same on Thuram.
Lamine Yamal cuts inside and his curler is FINGERTIPPED ROUND THE POST BY SOMMER!
Barella looks shattered now, keeps slipping on the wet turf too.
Probably offside anyway, but Szczesny got down to fingertip the Frattesi low drive round the upright!
Inter corner cleared and then the offside flag does go up.
Dumfries hobbles off, utterly exhausted, replaced by De Vrij. So Darmian moves to right wing back.
