MUNICH - Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi overcame personal heartbreak to net a late winner in the 2-1 Champions League win at Bayern Munich on April 8 after the midfielder's grandmother died the day before the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had put the visitors in the driving seat in the first half before Thomas Muller equalised in the 85th minute.
Frattesi, who came off the bench in the 74th minute, restored Inter's lead with two minutes of regulation time left to give the treble-chasing Italian side a crucial advantage to take home.
"In my life, I've always thought that my best quality was my mindset. I found myself in a situation where I couldn't continue on my usual path," Italy midfielder Frattesi told Inter TV.
"I was very close to my grandmother and wasn't used to seeing her like that.
"It was tough, but I know that she's involved somehow tonight. Maybe she's cheering me on from up there."
