In the early morning of May 17, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Inter relied on a blow from Lautaro at home to win, successfully defeated Milan to advance to the Champions League final first, which is the sixth time Inter has reached the Champions League final in its history, and it is also the Italian team to get the Champions League final ticket after 6 years, in addition, Inter also set 5 new records after this victory.
Goals from Dzeko and Mkhitaryan gave Inter the lead in the second leg due to the stark contrast between the two teams' recent forms, and Inter were seen as the finalists before the start of the second leg. Of course, Inter's process of winning the game was still very difficult, Milan committed many fouls in the first half, and the referee turned a blind eye, but Milan failed to achieve anything in attack, whether it was Giroud or Leo, they were frozen by Bastoni's backline. In the second half, Inzaghi Jr. replaced Romelu Lukaku with immediate results, and Lu Yuanwai assisted Lautaro in the 74th minute to score the only goal of the game, and Inter were able to advance to the final 3-0.
Inter returned to the stage of the Champions League final after 13 years, 5 new records were born, the Nerazzurri last reached the Champions League final was the Treble era of the 09-10 season, when the manager was the magic bird Mourinho at his peak, that year Inter won consecutive Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, becoming the only Serie A treble team, but unfortunately Inter quickly fell after that, until it took 13 years to try the courage to have today's rebound.
2nd: This is the first time Inter has beaten AC Milan 4 times in a single season in 49 years, and the last time Inter can beat Milan 4 times in a single season is back in the 1973-74 season, and Inter scored 7 goals in this 4 games, and kept 0 goals conceded, the score was 3:0 in the Italian Super Cup final, 1:0 in the second leg of the league, 2:0 in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, and 1:0 in the second leg of the semifinals!
3rd: Main goalkeeper Onana has kept eight clean sheets in this season's Champions League matches, continuing to set a new record in team history, bearing in mind that in the Treble season, main goalkeeper Cesar kept only six clean sheets.
4: Inter reached the final, this season has been confirmed to get 100 million euros from UEFA, and Inter's ticket revenue for this Champions League will be 12 million euros, creating the largest single game ticket revenue in Inter's history, which is also the record for ticket revenue in Italian football history, and counting the Champions League home ticket revenue throughout the season, Inter's revenue this season reached 145 million euros. It may be a small account for Premier League teams, but for Inter, who have a mediocre economy and serious finances, it is simply a huge amount of money.
5th: Inter post-90s chairman Zhang Kangyang also became the fourth chairman in Inter's history to witness the team's entry to the Champions League final. It is undeniable that Zhang Kangyang has a big gap with his father Moratti in terms of investment and operation, but being able to rely on the team led by Marotta to bring Inter back to the Champions League final in a bad economy is enough to keep him in the annals of Inter's history.
Inter's final opponent will be the winner between Manchester City and Real Madrid, it must be admitted that whether it is Manchester City or Real Madrid, Inter is in the downside in terms of hard power, but football is round, 13 years ago Inter was not optimistic, all the way to the Champions League final and relied on Milito's goal twice, after 45 years to lift the big ear cup. Inter have also made it all the way to the top this season, winning the Italian Super Cup and reaching the Coppa Italia, so who can guarantee that Inzaghi Jr. will not be able to replicate Jose Mourinho's moves?
