Watch: Inter’s Martinez ends all-Italian UCL semifinal with clinical strike

Lautaro Martinez struck the critical blow to AC Milan’s hopes of reaching the Champions League final.

Inter Milan were afforded time and space in the box to carve out an opportunity with a little over 15 minutes left in Tuesday’s second leg. Possession was moved between Martinez, Robin Gosens, and Romelu Lukaku ahead of a tentative defense before the ball rolled back along the line for the Argentine attacker.

Martinez took one touch and then fired into the bottom corner.

Inter won the second leg 1-0 after triumphing 2-0 in the opening fixture. They’ll face Manchester City or Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
