Nerazzuri Continue Dominance in Derby della Madonnina with Fifth Consecutive Victory
AC Milan's Hopes Crushed in Semi-Final Clash
MILAN, Italy - Inter Milan secured a place in the Champions League final for the first time since 2010 after defeating bitter rivals AC Milan in the semi-final second leg on May 16, 2023.
Dominant Display
Inter Milan extended their unbeaten streak against their crosstown counterparts to five matches with a convincing 1-0 victory at the San Siro. Lautaro Martinez struck the decisive goal in the 74th minute, sealing a 3-0 aggregate victory for the Nerazzurri.
The victory marked the first time Inter Milan had won five consecutive Milan Derbies since the days of Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Milan's Frustration
AC Milan's hopes of reaching the Champions League final were dashed once more as they failed to break down Inter Milan's resolute defense. The Rossoneri had to play with 10 men for the final 30 minutes after Fikayo Tomori received a second yellow card.
The defeat continued Milan's poor recent form against their arch-rivals, who have now won the last six encounters between the two sides.
Final Bound
Inter Milan will now face either Chelsea or Real Madrid in the Champions League final on June 10 in Istanbul. The Nerazzurri will be aiming to capture their first European Cup since 2010, when they defeated Bayern Munich.
