Nerazzurri ahead in the wind and in the rain of San Siro. The triumph of a team capable of putting quality, courage and resilience against a Bayern Munich in the field
Inter flies to the Champions League semifinal and takes another step towards the perfect season. Which is still to be built, but which on the night of San Siro was enriched with another chapter built on the suffering and on a huge character of a team unable to surrender. Against Bayern Munich the Nerazzurri had to defend the success of the first leg: the 2-2 final was sufficient. Mission made in a swing of emotions and reversals in front that enters the recent history of the nights of the Inter cup.
That would have been a battle, despite the initial advantage, was clear already on the eve. Bayern Munich had gone to Milan to rebel against the elimination and continue to cultivate the dream of playing the final in the home stadium. Kompany has put in place all the quality of his squad and has pushed the accelerator since the first ball. Inter fell back, suffered and kept the point and then rebalance the challenge as already happened in the first leg. Equal and seem at the interval with the feeling of having already seen a lot, but not everything.
In the second half, the shot from Kane’s billiards united the challenge. In the following 600 seconds, Inter legitimized his position among the magnificent four of the Champions League, confirming that he has enormous character and qualities: angry equal of Lautaro Martinez, rescue of Dier on Darmar with safe blows and doubling of Pavard. Only a great team manages to react to a blow from Ko, ten minutes that enter the history of this season by right and in the longest of the group that Simone Inzaghi forged to his image and likeness.
Then there was the third game in the game and it started when Dier mocked summarized by putting Bayern Munich the floating line. Wind turbini, sharp rain and the Bavarian siege until the last moment of the last minute of the full -bodied recovery granted by the referee Vincic. Suffering and ecstasy. The Inter semifinal is a well -deserved goal and a journey to the limit of the borders of a rose that has great depth but at these levels also many limits. Kompany fished from the arrow bench for his bow, Inzaghi this time had to settle for giving rest to holders exhausted by the battle.
Now the double challenge with Barcelona and on the other side PSG against Arsenal. The truth is that there is no designated mistress of this Champions League and, therefore, Inter can also legitimately dream of something impossible. But it is undeniable that the night of San Siro has dragged treasures of physical and psychological energies to the boys of Inzaghi who have not even time to think about it: Sunday Bologna, then the return derby to the Italian Cup, then Rome and finally starts again with the double Barcelona and in the middle of Verona. Antonio Conte will also have rejoiced for the feat of his former team, but the race for the Scudetto is still to be played.
