The semi-finals of the Champions League saw a lot of surprises.

Paris Saint-Germain played the North London powerhouse, Arsenal, and Internazionale Milano faced the giants of Catalonia, FC Barcelona.

From comebacks to underdog wins, here is everything that happened. 

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal

The match between PSG and Arsenal was entertaining to watch.

Two teams, who had beaten the competition’s favorites, were now facing each other.

The first leg, played at the Emirates Stadium on April 29, saw PSG take a 1-0 lead with a goal from Ousmane Dembele.

PSG then went on to win 2-1 in the second leg, played at the Parc des Princes on May 7, and had an aggregate score of 3-1 to book their tickets to the final.

According to Fotmob, PSG had a total of 22 shots over the two legs, with 10 of those being on target, while Arsenal had 29 shots and 11 on target.

PSG also had an xG of 1.16 in the first leg and 1.74 in the second.

Arsenal had 1.63 xG in the first leg and 2.91 xG in the second leg.

This shows that sometimes statistics don’t determine games.

Inter Milan vs Barcelona

This match-up was a rollercoaster of emotions.

The first leg, played at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on April 30,  ended 3-3, with Inter holding a lead at one point in the game, only for Barcelona to strike back and equalize.

This scoring made the second leg all to fight for.

The second leg, played at the San Siro on May 6, saw Inter win 4-3 as Francesco Acerbi scored in the 90+3 minute to equalize.

Davide Frattesi would score in the 99’ to give Inter the 4-3 win.

According to Fotmob, Inter had a total of 20 shots over those two legs, with 10 of them being on target, while Barcelona had 41 shots, with 19 of them being on target.

Inter also had an xG of 0.90 in the first leg and 2.28 in the second, while Barcelona had 1.36 xG in the first leg and 2.81 xG in the second leg.

This is another match that shows that stats sometimes don’t matter.

Aftermath

Now Inter Milan are going on to face PSG in the final to crown the king of Europe.
