It was Pavard’s first goal for Inter after the France international joined from Bayern in 2023.

Harry Kane had levelled the quarterfinal early in the second half but Inter swiftly turned the game around with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Pavard on a blustery night in Milan.

Eric Dier headed in the equaliser in the 76th minute to set up a nervy finale.

Inter next face Barcelona in the semis. They beat the same opponents in the final four in 2010 on their way to winning the Champions League and securing the treble under Jose Mourinho.

Simone Inzaghi’s men are in contention to repeat that feat this season.

Inter had stunned Bayern last week, winning 2-1 to inflict the German team’s first home defeat in the competition in almost four years.
