Xtra Time Web Desk: A strike from Lautaro Martinez in the 74th minute saw Inter Milan complete a double in UEFA Champions League to cruise into the final at the San Siro stadium on Tuesday night. Inter also won the first leg 2-0 in the Milan derby, making it a 3-0 aggregate win and a place in the final at Istanbul on June 10. Simone Inzaghi’s side will now face the winner of Real Madrid and Manchester City.
The three-time winners Inter will make its first final appearance since 2010, when they defeated Bayern Munich to lift the trophy under coach Jose Mourinho.
The second leg was much more of a contest than last week’s tie but, with AC Milan desperately chasing goals, Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez stepped up with a 74th-minute strike to decide the second leg.
The diminutive Argentinian striker received a pass from substitute Romelu Lukaku and blasted it past AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan at his near post – sending the San Siro into wild celebrations.
On Wednesday night Manchester City will host Real Madrid in the 2nd leg of the second semi-final at the Etihad stadium. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw with Kevin De Bryne equalising for the Premier League side after Vinicius Jr gave Real Madrid the lead in the first half.
