Inter Milan drew 3-3 against Benfica on Wednesday to complete a 5-3 aggregate victory over the Portuguese team. That came a day after AC Milan prevailed against Napoli in their quarterfinal.

After NicolĂČ Barella바카라™s opener for Inter, Fredrik Aursnes restored some hope for Benfica shortly before halftime. But Lautaro MartĂ­nez and substitute JoaquĂ­n Correa netted in the second half to help Inter reach its first semifinal since JosĂ© Mourinho led it to the treble of the Champions League, Serie A and Italian Cup in 2010.

Inter nevertheless managed to relinquish a two-goal lead as AntĂłnio Silva and Petar Musa netted late on for Benfica.

바카라œObviously I am happy, and I am happy for the boys because it is an important and historic achievement,바카라 Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said. 바카라œWe바카라™ve come a long way, from a very, very difficult group.

바카라œWith regards to the goals, their forward did well on the second goal and on the third goal we heard a whistle and so several players stopped. Of course I would have wanted to have won 3-2 and I바카라™m more disappointed for the boys but we were already through to the semifinal and there was that whistle that we heard on the bench too 바카라Š we would have deserved the win.바카라
