He Inter Milan did his homework before him Sparta Prague at home with the least effort to reach the final day with the classification almost closed (0-1). Inzaghi’s men are already among the top 24 and also have one point in the top 8, giving them direct access to the round of 16 without the need for a playoff. A defeat against Monaco For some purposes it may also be sufficient. The fans of the Czech team, who were mathematically eliminated, were not so happy. The meeting served to Lautaro Martínez will score his 14th Champions League goalthe second in this edition, figure where he equals Adriano as the player with the most goals in Inter’s Champions League history.
As expected, Inter Milan took the ball quickly, although it was difficult for them to translate their territorial dominance into scoring opportunities. But when you have good players it happens that clear opportunities appear out of nowhere. Bastoni put in a cross that seemed to go past the far post for Lautaro, who, with almost no angle, could think of nothing else but to volley first at the goalkeeper’s post, surprising Vindahl and slotting the ball into the net after it used to hold. the crossbar (12′). The goal with which he equaled Adriano.
From that moment until the end of the match, despite everything at stake, the Neroazzurros went into ‘energy reserve mode’ and played on the scoreboard even if it was very short. They provided only a few clear opportunities where Sommer showed that he is one of the most reliable goalkeepers on the European scene.
On the offensive side, chances came in dribs and drabs and most were long-range shots. Also in some counterattacks when the Czechs decided to risk a little by gathering men up front because they had almost nothing to form based on combinations. So comes a play where Dimarco tries to shoot a cutback, the defense stops him, but the ball is loose and the Dutchman points one side from distance. The goal was disallowed for a millimeter offside.
Dimarco himself, who didn’t stop running down the left wing until Inzaghi introduced changes to give him a break, came closest to scoring, with two shots from the edge of the area near the woodwork. The Interistas are already thinking about Serie A, a competition in which they seek to chase leaders Naples.
