Summary
Inter Milan have beaten Feyenoord once again and qualified for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. On Tuesday, the Italian team beat their Dutch rivals 2-1 at the San Siro stadium, consolidating their place in the knockout stages, which was already well underway after a 2-0 win in the first leg of the round of 16. Thuram and Çalhanolu scored for Inter, and Moder pulled one back.
INTER X BAYERN IN THE QUARTER FINALS
Inter Milan will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, who eliminated their German rivals Bayer Leverkusen . The quarter-final clash will be a repeat of the 2009/10 final, won by Inter – the two teams have won nine Champions League titles between them (three for the Italian team and six for the Bavarians). The games will be in April, with the first leg in Germany (on the 8th or 9th) and the return leg at San Siro on the 15th or 16th.
CONTROLLED GAME AT SAN SIRO
Inter Milan opened the scoring after just eight minutes of play, with a beautiful cross-shot from Frenchman Marcus Thuram. With 3-0 on aggregate, the Italian team began to control the first half, without forcing the attack and also without taking many risks. But a clumsy challenge by Çalhanoglu on Moder in the area gave Feyenoord the chance to equalize. Moder himself took the penalty and tied the score in the 41st minute. The Dutch chance to react ended early in the second half, when Beelen made a mistake in controlling the ball and committed a childish penalty on Taremi. Çalhanoglu made it 2-1 after five minutes, and Inter had no more worries in the match.
