In front of Summer, there is the three-way line composed of Pavard, The free e Sticks. On the right runs Dumfries, XNUMX Marco's on the opposite side. Aslan sets the tempo in midfield, with Stretcher right and Mkhitaryan on the left, while in attack there is the couple Martinez e Thuram. On the other hand also for Hutter few doubts.

San Siro celebrates, theInter is already ahead 1-0 on this last day of Champions League.

Inter have a wonderful approach to the match. High pressure, excellent management of possession and every time the Nerazzurri find depth they create dangerous actions. The Milanese enter the area consistently in the first quarter of an hour, but without managing to find the opportunity to double the score. The reaction of the Monaco arrives at the 10th minute when a beautiful serpentine of minamino turns the Inter rearguard upside down, but the attempt to Akliouche is rejected by the defense. It's just a flash, because two minutes later theInter he also finds the numerical advantage on the field, after the one on the scoreboard.

On the developments of an action Stretcher recovers the cross rejected by Majecki, a touch that will mark the Lautaro, who kicks towards the near post and scores again Majecki for his personal brace and the 2-0 win for Inter. Monaco on the ropes and forced to change to find a new balance: enter Caio Henry and goes out Akliouche.

Leading by two goals and with a man more, the team of Inzaghi tries to ice the game. Less frenetic possession management, but no less dangerous. The Monaco does not have the pace to keep up with the pace of the Milanese. The game is less entertaining and sparkling, firmly in the hands of the Nerazzurri. There are plenty of opportunities to make it three, but in this sense the home team lacks a bit of precision. The guests try at the end of the half, with generosity, to pass the ball around to build something in attack, but the Monegasques struggle to maintain possession of the ball when they cross the midfield line. Before the referee's double whistle, a yellow card should be reported for vanderson, shortly before the end of the 3 minutes of injury time, with theInter a close the first half ahead with a score of 2-0.

Inter to manage the pace with possession, before occasionally attacking the depth in search of the third goal. Despite this, however, the Nerazzurri do not lack opportunities. He tries Thuram in the 50th minute, good at isolating himself in a one-on-one on the left edge of the penalty area. The Frenchman comes back and shoots with his right foot: he blocks on the ground Majecki. The goalkeeper is still the protagonist Monaco two minutes later: illuminating touch of Martinez for Pavard, but on the sure-fire shot from the ex-Bayern player, a super save from the Polish goalkeeper.

With this peace of mind in scoring and managing the race, Inzaghi can also afford to start managing the interpreters early. The minute is the 59th when the Inter coach uses three changes simultaneously: they enter arnautovic, Fraternity e Carlos Augusto, they leave the field Thuram, Stretcher e Sticks. New players on the field, but the same script as regards the game on the field. Only the yellow card waved for Pavard when the latter goes to contest in a foul manner an attempt to relaunch Golovin. However, the Nerazzurri team makes up for the drop in tension, because in the 67th minute, one minute after the yellow, Mkhitaryan recovers the ball centrally and carries it to the edge of the area. The Armenian's shot is blocked by Majecki, but on the rebound the fastest of all is still Martinez, who signs the masterpiece with the hat-trick and the 3-0 for theInter. Unstoppable party at San Siro.

Hutter speechless on the bench, the rotation of its interpreters continues: he also enters Michal to take over from minamino. However, nothing changes on the pitch: theInter remains dominant on the field and Lautaro he also comes within a few steps of doubling the lead with his own captain, who fails to hit the target on the suggestion of Dumfries. Last cross by the Dutchman, replaced with a quarter of an hour to go along with the same Martinez, in their place inside darmian and the young man From Pieri. A few minutes later the entrance into the house Monaco for Ben Seghir in place of Golovin, with substitutions exhausted on both sides of the pitch.

Theses moreover escorted off the pitch on a stretcher. In the final ten minutes Arnautovic wastes a couple of important chances, hitting the crossbar in both cases, but little changes for the final result, despite the very long recovery time of six minutes. TheInter does his part, wins 3-0 against Monaco and takes home direct access to the round of 16, decided by the captain's hat-trick lautaro martinez.
