Inter beat AC Milan in the Champions League

With enormous authority and solvency, Inter overran Milan (0-2) with a first half of absolute dominance and a second half of intelligent management that brought him closer to a reunion with glory, represented the final of the Champions League, which he has not attended since he lifted the ‘Orejon’ in 2010, and it lasts 90 minutes.

With all the spotlights on San Siro, with the whole planet waiting ‘Derbi della Madonnina’, a match not played in the Champions League since the 2004-05 season with what is known as “Derby of Shame”there was a team that made it big and another that wasn’t up to the task and didn’t do as expected.

He Between dominated the match and played the duel with a confidence that goes much further in the city Milan. He jumped into a stadium he knows perfectly, but which was dressed in the colors of his biggest rival. He doesn’t care about me. He also felt at home. He played as if he had played in the semi-finals for the last five seasons and turned what was presented as a tight game into a football bath, especially in the first half.

And that is that it only took eight minutes for Džeka to open the scoring. Establishing himself as a striker in major competitions, the Bosnian once again answered his coach, this time with an almost acrobatic corner kick that silenced the crowd San Siro.

The early kick made Milan’s head spin, who failed to get into the game and who, without Lea, lost their standard in attack. and Between He didn’t miss an opportunity to do more damage. It was Mkhitaryan’s turn to take advantage of Dimarco’s missed pass from the second line Lautaro, easily sneaking into the area under the gaze of an inoperative Milan defense to define the inside area and put the country in the middle on 12 minutes.

Inter was an earthquake. broke out before a Milan that he could not cover himself from the blows he received. He bled to death with every action and was almost dead before the 20th minute if Calhanoglu’s shot didn’t hit the post. It was the ‘Nerazzurra’ show and injuries Benacer in the 18th minute, another shot that knocked out Milan in the first half.

The lead on the scoreboard meant that Inter was slowing down little by little. But the domain was the same. It was not difficult for Inter to get to that area, and it took a miracle for Milan to clear the lines. Dzeko and Lautaro they danced with Tomori and Kjaer; while Darmian, Acerbi and Bastoni had almost nothing to do in defense. Because Milan, without its usual beacon, was ineffective in attack. Neither Brahim, nor Giroud, nor Saelemaekers generated anything.

Actually, Lautaroin one of his many exhibitions against the Rossoneri defense, he conceded a penalty which was eventually overruled by VAR, but it would be the last shot for an equalizer that Milan did not want to give up in the second half, jumping onto the field more aggressively, with less to lose.

Perhaps accompanied by a slight sense of overconfidence from Inter, caused by the great dominance in the first half, Milan seemed to be frightened by a strike by Brahim and a clean chance by Messias. It was a sort of mirage, because a few minutes later Dzeko was once again alone against Maignan, although this time he failed to overcome the French goalkeeper.

you could Milan he was fully involved in the equalizer with a shot by Tonali that crashed into the post. It was not a night for the locals.

Inzaghi managed and he gradually introduced pieces to retain possession and reduce the dangers of a Milan which did not change anything upon entering Origi or Bega, resignedly trying to do damage from distance or with sterile lateral centers against a ‘Nerazzurra’ defense that dealt with all approaches.

The first of two episodes that will take place in the mythical San Siro It had a clear owner, Inter, which greatly tipped the scales and submitted a candidacy with more than enough arguments to enter the final. “Champions”. He dearn clings to the epic and history of his shirt to pull off a miracle and seal a comeback that, looking at what has been seen, seems more than complicated.
