He Inter de Milan will be the rival of Seville at the end of the Europa League, which will be played this Friday in Suburb, after winning 5-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk. Ten years after winning its last continental title, the Champions before him Bayern at Santiago Bernabeu, the Italian team once again caress a trophy after finishing third in the group in the Champions League and in the second competition to have eliminated Ludogorets, Getafe and Leverkusen.
He Inter knew how to counteract the Brazilian midfield soccer forward of the Shakhtar, a team that moved the ball but lacked punch in the rival area. This was the script of the meeting from the beginning. He chose to wait for the rival, whom he pressured in his exit of the ball, although it was a goalkeeper error Pyatov the one who began to open the door of the final. The goalkeeper made a serious mistake when trying to get out with the ball played, giving it to Barella, who after listing to the band executed a measured center to the head of Lautaro and the Argentine forward did not forgive.
It was minute 19 and the game was facing the Inter, who throughout the first half would not have trouble going to rest with an advantage on the scoreboard. Shakhtar continued to have the ball in their possession, but if ‘tiki-taka’ was hardly disturbing, as it was only in the 43rd minute that he attempted the shot. The kick of Marco Antonio went over the crossbar.
Already in the second part, the script was maintained, so much that it almost re-marked the Inter almost unintentionally. Lautaro, again, in the 48th minute, he took advantage of a rival error and sought to surprise Pyatov with a shot in Vaseline, but this time the goalkeeper showed off clearing the ball.
A head shot of Junior moraes that stopped with difficulty Handanovic seemed to put the Shakhtar in the pomade, although it was a mirage, because two minutes later, D’Ambrosio, with a header, on a corner kick, made it 2-0. That's when the Ukrainian team began to throw in the towel, which definitely threw it in '74, when Lautaro, with a kick from the edge of the area, signed the 3-0 and ended the tie.
But the Italian party could not miss Lukaku and, of course, the Belgian joined it with two goals, the first after being assisted by Lautaro, and the second after a brutal individual action. The final 5-0 reflected the superiority of Inter, the one who now awaits the five-time champion Seville. Without a doubt, a great game.
