Inter will undoubtedly be the underdogs against either Real Madrid or Manchester City in Istanbul on June 10, but the way they managed both legs of this all-Milan tie suggests they will be hard to beat.
Inter Milan reached their first Champions League final for 13 years as Lautaro Martinez's sole goal of the match gave them a 3-0 aggregate win against AC Milan on Tuesday. Inter will undoubtedly be the underdogs against either Real Madrid or Manchester City in Istanbul on June 10, but the way they managed both legs of this all-Milan tie suggests they will be hard to beat. The key moment of the night at the San Siro came when Argentinian Martinez exchanged passes with substitute Romelu Lukaku and drilled a shot from inside the penalty area that Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan allowed in at his near post.
Martinez, Inter's captain, hailed the cohesion of his team over the two matches against their city rivals.
"What counts is the squad. I experienced it at the World Cup (with Argentina)," he said.
"It makes it easy if you have a united squad with everyone pulling in the same direction. It means you get to play these very important matches in the best possible way."
He added: "After winning the World Cup and experiencing what is the pinnacle for a player I knew we could reach this final, and we did it."
