Inter beat Barcelona 4-3 after extra time to reach another Champions League final

Inter Milan has another Champions League final to look forward to. Once the players catch their breath, that is, Associated Press reported.

In the end it took extra time, two astonishing comebacks and 13 goals to separate Barcelona and Inter and see the Italian club — which was a mere seconds away from elimination — prevail 7-6 on aggregate after winning another rollercoaster encounter 4-3 on Tuesday.

Substitute Davide Frattesi was the extra-time star for Inter, firing home in the 99th minute to leave the Barcelona players slumped to the ground while his Nerazzurri teammates — including those on the bench — were racing to celebrate with him.

“I don’t know what happened tonight. I’m lucky I managed to finish the game, I screamed so much (in celebration) that I saw everything black,” Frattesi told Italian broadcaster Sky, according to Associted Press.

Sunrisers Hyderabad becomes 3rd team to get knocked out of IPL 2025

Sunrisers Hyderabad become the third team in IPL 2025 to get eliminated from the playoff race as their match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium against the Delhi Capitals has been called off due to rain and then a very wet outfield in Hyderabad. Both teams share the spoils with 1 point each awarded to both sides, Business Standard reported.

Hyderabad now stand at 7 points from 11 games, making them mathematically ineligible to get into the top 4 now.  Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by skipper Pat Cummins, delivered a dominant bowling display to restrict Delhi Capitals to 133/7 in their IPL 2025 clash on Monday.

With playoff hopes dwindling, SRH opted to bowl first on a challenging surface and quickly gained control as Delhi’s batters struggled with both the conditions and their shot selection.

DC collapsed to 29/5 in 7.1 overs, with Cummins wreaking havoc early. He dismissed Karun Nair on the first ball with a delivery that drew a loose shot outside off. In his next over, he removed Faf du Plessis, who mistimed a pull and was caught behind. Abhishek Porel also fell to Cummins, miscuing a flick shot, according to Business Standard.

Milan clinch win with two quick-fire goals in rainy Genoa clash

AC Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Genoa in a rainy Monday Serie A clash, with a rapid second-half turnaround driven by Rafael Leao's equaliser and an own goal from Morten Frendrup, Reuters reported.

The result keep Milan at ninth place with 57 points, six points behind Juventus in fourth with three rounds remaining.

Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was the stand-out performer in a first half largely dominated by Genoa, making several crucial saves to keep his side level at the break.

The second half started in a largely uninspired fashion, with the relentless downpour proving more consistent than the football, as play was frequently halted for injury treatments, according to Reuters.

PBKS thrash LSG by 37 runs

Arshdeep Singh's devastating powerplay spell practically ended Lucknow Super Giants' slender chances of chasing down a mammoth target of 237. Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad put up a charge after the 10th over but it was all too little too late. LSG finished with a score of 199/7 and thus lost by 37 runs, Hindustan Times reported.

Arshdeep dismissed openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh in his second over and then got the all-important wicket of Nicholas Pooran in his next. Rishabh Pant failed to make an impact once again, losing his bat and his wicket at the same time on 18 off 17. Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad then put up an 81-run stand off 41 balls. Samad missed out on a half-century but Badoni got there in 32 balls. 

Prabhsimran Singh led the way while captain Shreyas Iyer and Shashank Singh added their own big-hitting magic dust as Punjab Kings posted a daunting total of 236/5 against Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamsala. Shashank joined Prabhsimran Singh after the dismissal of captain Shreyas Iyer and has taken the Punjab Kings run rate to a different level. Prabhsimran, who scored his fourth consecutive half-century, was then dismissed just nine runs short of a century, according to Hindustan Times.
