Derby Milan in the Champions League Semifinals, Lautaro Martinez: This is a special match

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is enthusiastic about welcoming the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan in the semifinals of the 2022/2023 Champions League. He said the match would be special.

Inter and AC Milan fought for a place in the final after getting rid of their respective opponents in the previous round. I Nerazzurri won 5-3 on aggregate over Portugal’s representative Benfica. Meanwhile, I Rossoneri eliminated the Italian League standings leader Napoli with an aggregate of 2-1.

“This will be a very special match. We know what it means to play the derby in the semifinals of the Champions League,” said Martinez, reported by Football Italia.

Inter Milan act as guests first in the first leg, 11 May. They then host the decider on May 17.

With a long break, Lautaro Martinez asked his colleagues to focus on improving their performance on the domestic stage. Simone Inzaghi’s troops have failed to win in the last four matches, three of which have been defeats.

That minor performance sent them down to fifth in the standings. “Now we have to make amends for defeat in Serie A and can only think about the Champions League,” said Lautaro.
