Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella struggled to fight back the tears after the final whistle of Clement Turpin in a Champions League semifinal second leg against Milan, while vice president Javier Zanetti celebrated by jumping with cheering fans at the Stadio Meazza.
Lautaro Martinez’s goal helped Inter beat Milan 1-0 on Tuesday and qualify for the Champions League Final, where they will face Real Madrid or Manchester City on June 10. Inter had beaten their city rivals 2-0 in the first leg last week.
Turpin’s final whistle was welcomed with a roar from Nerazzurri supporters. Italy international Nicolò Barella fought back the tears on the touchline while hugging his teammate Lautaro Martinez who was named Man of the Match.
Federico Dimarco took a microphone and sang with ultras while Zanetti joined Inter players on the pitch jumping to the tone of ‘Chi non salta Rossonero eh’ (Who doesn’t jump is Rossonero).
The Nerazzurri have reached their sixth Champions League Final in history. They’ve won the competition three times, the last one in 2010 under José Mourinho.
Well deserved! Leao who? Forza Inter!!!
Forza Inter!
