Inter Milan reach Champions League final for first time in 13 years

Lautaro Martinez scored to send Inter into the final.

Inter continued their impressive run of form to claim a 1-0 win over city rivals AC Milan in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Lautaro Martinez shone with the only goal to end all of AC Milan's comeback efforts, helping the home team to win the Giuseppe Meazza.

In the 74th minute, Romelu Lukaku had a favorable pass for Lautaro Martinez to shoot powerfully from a narrow angle, leaving goalkeeper Maignan with no chance to block.

This result helped the Milanese blue-black striped team win 3-0 after two semi-final matches, to go straight to Istanbul (Türkiye) to participate in the championship match.

This is the first time since 2010 that the Nerazzurri have been in a European title match.

Thirteen years ago in the final at the Santiago Bernabéu, Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan played brilliantly to defeat Bayern Munich 2-0 and reach the top of the podium for the third time in history at this prestigious arena.

Inter's final opponents in their quest for a fourth European Cup will be decided after the second leg of the semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Etihad.

In the first leg, Real Madrid and Man City were tied 1-1.

In that match, Kevin De Bruyne shone with a goal to bring a slight advantage to Man City after Vinicius Junior put Real in the lead./.
