Inter vs AC Milan Highlights

Inter have secured their first Champions League final appearance since 2010 with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over their rivals Milan in the second leg of the semifinals at San Siro.

Simone Inzaghi's team showed great composure in handling the pressure of defending their 2-0 first leg lead on an intense night in Milan. The Nerazzurri secured their place in the Istanbul final on June 10. Inter effectively neutralized the threat posed by the returning Milan talisman, Rafael Leao, while Brahim Diaz squandered Milan's best early chance to ignite a potential comeback.

Inzaghi's Inter evoked the winning spirit of Jose Mourinho's side from 2010, displaying resilience and determination to keep Milan at bay throughout the match.

Inter vs AC Milan Highlights

Lautaro Martinez, who had battled tirelessly against Milan's defense all night, was duly rewarded when he clinically finished a pass from Romelu Lukaku in the dying moments of the game.

Inter will enter the final as underdogs, facing either Manchester City or the defending champions Real Madrid. However, their tenacity and well-organized approach ensure that the final in Istanbul will be a fiercely contested battle.

Inter vs AC Milan Summary

Despite the majority of San Siro filled with Inter shirts, it was Milan who enjoyed a stronger start on this occasion. Théo Hernandez came incredibly close with a daring strike, but Brahim Díaz lacked the conviction to beat André Onana after Sandro Tonali set him up brilliantly. Stefano Pioli's side desperately pursued the goal they needed. Inter held their ground against Milan's onslaught and began posing threats with their own attacking moves. However, Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed the target after Edin Džeko's cutback.

With both teams going head-to-head, Rafael Leão came tantalizingly close to marking his return from injury with a crucial goal. He sprinted past Matteo Darmian but ultimately dragged his shot wide. Shortly after, Džeko's header forced an incredible save from Mike Maignan, and Lautaro Martínez missed the target. Despite maintaining their two-goal lead, Inter suffered a setback as Mkhitaryan was forced off the field due to injury before halftime.

Inter vs AC Milan Summary

Surprisingly, it wasn't until the 56th minute that Clément Turpin issued the first booking of the night, penalizing Malick Thiaw for cynically halting Martínez as Inter emerged strongly after the restart. In a city renowned for fashion, it was Inter's determination and organization that kept Milan at bay, providing Martínez with the opportunity to smash a shot past Maignan's outstretched hand, putting Inter in the lead on the night and securing an insurmountable advantage over Milan.

Emotions ran high after that moment as Inter secured their place in the Champions League final in Istanbul, extending their unbeaten streak to nine matches across all competitions. While the Nerazzurri await their opponents, whether it be Manchester City or Real Madrid in June, Milan will be hoping to secure a place in Europe's premier club competition for the next season. They have won only one of their last five matches and currently sit four points behind the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot in Serie A.
