A Lautaro Martínez 74th minutes strike gave Inter Milan the winner and sealed the hopes of a lackluster rival AC Milan who played as of there was nothing at stake; the game was by any standard average, in terms of the quality. For most times, it was quite a sloppy affair.
AC Milan however failed to take advantage of great early chances to cancel the 2-0 goal deficit in the first leg and also failed to sustain the pace, leaving a more purposeful Inter to take control of the game and their chance deep into the second half to make it 3-0 aggregate.
The win secures Inter’s first Champions League final since 2010, when they won the treble under the guidance of Jose Mourinho before he moved to Real Madrid.
They face either Real Madrid or Manchester City who are playing the return leg tomorrow, Wednesday at the Etihad after their 1-1 draw at the Bernabue a week ago.
