Imagine this: you have a privilege – and considering how epic last night’s game was, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – to watch the UEFA Champions League semi-final after you splashed out several hundred or even over a thousand euros for a ticket.Life gave you a chance to be at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, supporting Inter Milan in a historic clash that will be remembered for years, especially if the Nerazzurri win the UCL. And then – when your team was on the verge of elimination – you decided to leave the stadium earlier and avoid a traffic jam and a “melee” at the stadium exits.Mamma mia! Inter knock down Barca in one of the greatest-ever spectaclesBelieve it or not, some people did that, and the only thing they avoided – or missed, if you want – were lifetime memories…Over 70,000 people left Meazza with priceless recollections, whereas a dozen who missed Francesco Acerbi’s magnificent leveller will blush when someone asks them if they were at the stadium while the history was being created.From depths of hell to UCL final: before Barca, Inter’s hero Acerbi topped cancer, depression, alcoholism…They will blush and lie about seeing the defender’s heroics and jumping sky-high when Davide Frattesi scored a winner worthy of the grand final. In reality, they didn’t believe and could see Acerbi’s goal only on X or YouTube.Once Inter levelled, they rushed to return but weren’t allowed due to safety reasons. And they completely deserved that fate.Inter Milan fans who left after Raphinha’s go-ahead goal tried to get back in when Inter equalized at the end of regular time, but they weren’t allowed reentry 😬 pic.twitter.com/IpROfF7h3G— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 6, 2025 Even the legendary Thierry Henry couldn’t resist commenting on the matter.”They should stay in the stadium. It’s not over. What type of fan are you? Stay in, stay,” said the Frenchman via Football Italia.After what happened, some even consider the fans who left shouldn’t be allowed to purchase tickets for crucial games ever again. Perhaps then they would believe in their lads on the pitch instead of thinking about traffic jams.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – SEMI FINALSTuesday Inter – Barcelona 4-3 a.e.t.
