Simone Inzaghi led Inter Milan have reached the finals of the 2023 UEFA Champions League after defeating AC Milan 1-0 in the second leg of the semi-final. The Italian giants were powered into the finals by Lautaro Martinez’s excellent goal in the 74th minute.
Inter Milan who won the first leg comfortably with a scoreline of 2-0 progressed to the next round for the first time since Jose Mourinho took the team to the final in 2010. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was very pleased with his team’s performance. In a post-match presentation, the manager said, “It’s obviously a great emotion, a dream that I had together with the guys, that we nurtured right from when the draw was made.”

He further stated, “We had a long road, with difficulties but I think we earned it. I think probably from tomorrow we’ll realize more what we have done. But it’s a wonderful night with the fans, with our family, you can’t ask for anything more.”
Inter Milan who lifted the trophy in 2010 will be looking to replicate the success the team achieved under Jose Mourinho. The club will face either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the finals on June 10 in Istanbul.
