Inter Milan are through to the Champions League quarterfinals after a professional display in their second-leg victory over Feyenoord.
Holding a 2-0 first-leg advantage, the Nerazzurri took care of business at the San Siro, securing a 2-1 win (4-1 on aggregate) to extinguish any hopes of a Feyenoord comeback.
Thuram strikes early, but Feyenoord respond
Marcus Thuram opened the scoring with a stunning solo effort, cutting in from the left and blasting home to put Inter ahead in the first half. Just before the break, Feyenoord found a lifeline when Jakub Moder converted a penalty to level the match at 1-1.
Calhanoglu seals Inter’s progress
Any hopes of a Feyenoord fightback were quickly shut down when Inter won a penalty in the 50th minute. Hakan Calhanoglu stepped up and confidently slotted home to restore Inter’s lead at 2-1 on the night and seal their place in the last eight.
Another great season for Inzaghi’s men
With the win, Inter remain on course for a fantastic season. The Nerazzurri currently sit atop Serie A and are strong contenders in Europe. Next up, they shift focus to a crucial league clash against Atalanta in Bergamo.
Meanwhile, Feyenoord can look back on a memorable Champions League campaign, having reached the knockout rounds despite being underdogs in their group.
