Benjamin Pavard’s Fiftieth Champions League Game was marked by a major event: a decisive goal that pushed Inter Milan into the semifinal of the competition, to the detriment of his former club, Bayern Munich. This goal, the first of the French international in the Inter’s colours, proved crucial in a game full of rebounds, highlighting an exceptional record of the athlete, now with 39 wins, 6 draws and only 4 defeats. The vibrant atmosphere of San Siro has amplified the scope of this realization, a moment filled with emotion for the player who had been waiting for this goal for a long time, as he enthusiastically expressed at the end of the encounter.

The game was characterized by an offensive show, with Harry Kane opening the score for Bayern Munich, quickly followed by an equalization of Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard’s life-saving goal on a corner. The Inter, initially dominated, was able to react and reverse the trend through perseverance and an effective collective game, demonstrating exemplary resilience against a high quality opponent. Eric Dier’s late equalization kept the tension going until the last few moments, with the final score reflecting the intensity and uncertainty that gave rise to this key encounter.

Beyond the sporting result, this qualification of Inter Milan is part of a particularly interesting European context. With the qualifications of FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Inter Milan, four nations will be represented in the semifinals of the Champions League, a rare event in contemporary football. Benjamin Pavard, the only player who has moved to the LOSC that is still competing for the title, embodies the hope of a high-level European competition, where several prestigious clubs are racing for a historic triple.
