Inter Milan Clinch Champions League Final Berth with 1-0 Victory over AC Milan
Lautaro Martinez Scores Decisive Goal
Inter Milan have booked their place in the Champions League final after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over cross-town rivals AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night.
The only goal of the game came in the 52nd minute when Lautaro Martinez pounced on a loose ball in the Milan penalty area and fired home. The Argentine striker's goal proved to be the winner as Inter held on for a crucial victory.
The win sees Inter move into the Champions League final for the first time since 2010, when they were defeated by Bayern Munich. They will now face either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final, which will be played on May 28 in Istanbul, Turkey.
A Match of Few Chances
The match was a cagey affair with few clear-cut chances for either side. Inter had the better of the possession in the first half, but AC Milan looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
The second half was more open, but neither side was able to create many clear-cut chances. Inter eventually broke the deadlock through Martinez, and they held on for a crucial victory.
Inter's Defense Stands Firm
Inter's defense was in fine form on Tuesday night, with Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij particularly impressive. The Nerazzurri backline limited AC Milan to very few chances, and they were able to keep a clean sheet.
Milan Disappointed, but Proud
AC Milan were disappointed to lose on Tuesday night, but they can be proud of their performance. The Rossoneri gave Inter a good game, and they were unlucky not to come away with at least a draw.
Milan will now turn their attention to the Serie A title race, where they are currently two points behind Inter. They will need to win their remaining games and hope that Inter slip up if they want to win their first Scudetto in over a decade.
