The 2-0 win in the first leg gives Inter Milan a big advantage ahead of the rematch with their city rivals in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Coach Simone Inzaghi's team's current form is better than their opponents, which is a reason for Nerazzurri fans to be confident.
The second leg of the semi-final was an exciting affair as AC Milan were forced to play an attacking game to turn the game around. The return of Rafael Leao gave the Rossoneri hope. However, despite having less possession than their opponents, Inter Milan were the ones creating the most chances.
AC Milan were eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals.
According to Whoscored, AC Milan only had 5 shots in the whole match, of which only one was on target. This number is too low for a team that had to score. In contrast, Inter Milan shot 15 times.
AC Milan's hopes were dashed in the 74th minute. Romelu Lukaku assisted Lautaro Martinez to score the only goal of the second leg. That was a situation where Inter Milan had only three players working together in the penalty area. Martinez shot low from the near corner but goalkeeper Mike Maignan could not block it.
Inter Milan won 1-0 (3-0 on aggregate after two matches) and qualified for the Champions League final. Coach Simone's team will face the winner of the remaining semi-final between Man City and Real Madrid.
Result: Inter Milan 1-0 AC Milan (3-0)
