The Italian team took an important advantage before the final match.
Inter in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, hosting Atletico. The rulers from the first Khvylins took over the territorial advantage, but Atletico was not averse to defending itself and seeking mercy from the enemy. Simone Inzaghi's team was looking for their chance to win a combination game, and Madrid relied on the Swedish fallout and activity of Lino.
Behind the bags of the first 30 guys, the xG of both teams added up to 0.08, which, obviously, is very little. The first really dangerous moment created Inter - Thuram grabbed the ball in the center of the field, broke through the central zone and hit Lautaro, and he shot through - hitting the ball at the opponent’s foot. The teams went to settle for a 0:0 draw and were going to decide on how to survive in the other half..
The coaches actively tried to replace the first half of the other half and tried to change the course of the team. In one episode of the game, De Vrij at the last moment knocked the ball into the tackle from behind Llorente. The ball was about to fly into the goal, but Inter was spared. A few minutes later, Arnautovich played with Martinez and shot seven meters - the ball is like a miracle..
It seemed that the goal at Atletico’s goal was no longer available for an hour, because the rulers threatened Oblak’s goal over and over again. In another moment, Hakan made a good cross from the right flank, and Lautaro made a header - Jan turned his team.
However, Inter still achieved their goal - Inter quickly got a mercy from Atletico: Lautaro chose to get along with Oblak, rather than change overtaking him. Meanwhile, to finish off the first thing, Arnautovich. How many times did Marco not study?. 1:0.
Atletico have their chance to establish parity when Morata heads in after a cross from the wing, but the ball goes back. The referee's final whistle recorded Inter's minimal victory, which became a terrible argument before the match at the Wanda Metropolitano.
