Next Wednesday, when the 36 teams take to the field at the same time in a fiery final day, the two Milanese teams will start from a privileged position to ensure direct passage to the Champions League round of 16. Both Inter and Milan, in fact, performed an excellent operation in the seventh match of the championship phase, getting rid of their respective opponents – Sparta Prague and Girona, now definitively eliminated – with a 1-0 and mortgaging the qualification: waiting for the match against Monaco, the Nerazzurri can boast a three-point margin over ninth place, while the Rossoneri – who will end their campaign in Zagreb – two.

On stage on Czech soil, Inzaghi’s men took only 12 minutes to put the post-Leverkusen redemption challenge on the right track: thanks to captain Lautaro, who surprised Vindahl (certainly not without his faults…) with a great volley from an impossible position. At San Siro, however, the hero of the evening was Leao, author of the decisive goal after two woodwork – one by Theo, the other by Musah – and before Lady Luck pardoned his team: only a few millimeters, in fact, led to the cancellation of the excellent guest equalizer due to an offside.
