The Champions League final in Istanbul ends 1-0 for the English. Inter betrayed by too many mistakes in front of goal. Of Lukaku, who misses the draw from close range, the most sensational occasion. After the English lead, Dimarco also had a great opportunity, hitting the crossbar. In the 58th minute, Lautaro wasted an opportunity. Very balanced in the first half. Out due to injury Dzeko and the king of assists De Bruyne, replaced by Foden.
Despite a lot of heart and a lot of character, the sporting miracle with the more popular Manchester City fails at Inter , which in Istanbul manages to lift the first Champions League in its history to the sky .
On Turkish soil, a goal from Rodrigo decided during the second half, at the end of a match led largely by Pep Guardiola’s team, but in which Simone Inzaghi’s men absolutely did not disdain, even hitting a sensational crossbar with Dimarco . as well as failing a colossal scoring with Lukaku with time almost up.
The Nerazzurri fairy tale therefore ends at the climax, while the citizens write a new page in history by completing a fabulous ‘treble’, after having won the Premier League and the FA Cup.
The script of the match is clear from the start: the English team tries to play the game, the Nerazzurri defend themselves with order and concentration trying to sting in the restart. However, Inzaghi’s team fails to build clear scoring chances, while Guardiola’s men make themselves very dangerous in two situations in particular.
The first was by Bernardo Silva after just six minutes, with the Portuguese attempting a poisonous left-footed lap that ended just wide; the second close to the half hour with Haaland who, served by De Bruyne (who left shortly after due to a flexor annoyance), shoots in the mirror finding Onana’s save.
In the second half, Inter try to come out of their shells and at the stroke of the hour they have a huge chance with Lautaro, who finds himself face to face with Ederson after a mistake by Akanji, but prefers to kick by blocking rather than serve the neo Lukaku entered all alone in the area.
In the 68th minute it was Manchester City who took the lead with Rodri , who kicked from the edge following a cross from Bernardo Silva deflected by Acerbi, fishing for the corner where Onana couldn’t reach.
Inter didn’t seem to accuse the English 1-0 and after less than three minutes they went one step away from equalizing, hitting a sensational header from Dimarco , who in the rebound saw the tap-in block, again with his header, from his comrade Lukaku
The match becomes vibrant and is enriched with goal points: on the one hand Foden fails to double after a beautiful play, on the other hand Lukaku incredibly throws the draw away, having Ederson save his knee from a header one meter from the line of door.
