Inter Milan reach Champions League final as Inzaghi says: We deserve this

Inter Milan have reached the Champions League final after victory over AC Milan on Tuesday night.

The 1-0 win, courtesy of Lautaro Martinez's goal, saw Inter win their semifinal 3-0 on aggregate.

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi later said: "In the next few days we will realise what we did. For us it was a dream but we have always believed in it. It was an extraordinary path and winning a derby in the semi-final like this brings great satisfaction.

"Madrid and City are two of the best teams in Europe. I'm happy for us. Tomorrow I'll watch the game with interest but I don't have any preference.

"I'm proud to be here. I know what was expected when I joined [in June 2021] – namely, to reach the Round of 16 of the Champions League. This year we went even further but nobody gave us anything, we deserved everything that we achieved.

"And now the dream to play the final has come true."
