Champions League | Last - minute goals: when Inter left it late

Sometimes, you just have to wait for certain moments. And then, when they happen, there's this sublime feeling in the air that strikes you like nothing else. This Champions League season, Inter have scored three incredible late goals. Footballing poetry that changed the course of games, and above all the Nerazzurri's destiny.

The first goal came in a freezing cold Bern. It was 0-0, and a tiring game. Inter made chances, worked hard, and waited. And then, in the 92nd minute, it all changed: Dimarco crossed it in from the left, and Marcus Thuram then took full responsibility. The ball made it to him, and he caressed it past the keeper, making the moment his own. It was the goal that let everyone know that Inter are vibrant, bright and determined. But this goal was only the first chapter.

The second was a sucker punch to Bayern Munich. In the 88th minute at the Allianz Arena, the game was still on the line, and our energy was drained. But Inter were still creating, still full of pride. Barella threads it through, Carlos Augusto crosses is it in, and Frattesi ghosts into the area and slots it home. It was the seal of someone who comes on, scores, and changes the night. Like in dreams, but it really happened.

And there was that legendary moment at San Siro. 93rd minute. Acerbi. A defender, a silent warrior. In that second that lasted a lifetime, he became a forward. Dumfries put a hopeful ball in, and he got in front of his man, shot and scored. The equaliser against Barcelona sent us to extra time and made the night a truly memorable one. The shirtless celebration, the San Siro cry, history changing trajectory. Three goals. Three moments beyond time. As if Inter knew when to strike. Not before, not after, but right at the last, when it really matters. At that point, football is no longer sport, but destiny.
