MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Inter fails the company, which would have approached the eighth finals of Champions. In San Siro, on the second last day of the first phase, only the Arsenal, which directs the match in the first half an hour and closes it in the final, winning 3-1 and conquering the seventh success in as many meetings. It begins with Chivu that surprises by choosing Acerbi, deployed at the center of defense with Akanji in the role of right arm, and bet on Sucic. Original bench for Bisseck and Mkhitaryan, and also the Arsenal makes turnover: out initially Gabriel, Ødegaard, Martinelli, Rice, Havertz and Gyòkeres. The start is dominant for Gunners, which crush Inter with pressing until Yann Sommer’s first construction and put it in crisis. The Arsenal unlocks it at 10′, with a lucky episode: Timber’s deviated shooting-cross, Luis Henrique plays Gabriel Jesus as the 1-0. The Inter reacts immediately and, after only eight minutes, the draw with Sucic, which finds a great goal: shooting under the intersection after a beat and fight at the limit of the area. The Nerazzurri also try to find the advantage, but they waste with Thuram and get hit again by the Gunners, who sign the 19th football network. He deserves Trossard, which is a shoreline for Gabriel Jesus while his companions disturb the defenders and Sommer: Brazilian double and 2-1 at 31′. Luis Henrique and Lautaro waste as much as possible, while Raya saves on Dimarco. We then go to rest with the advantage of Arsenal and, in the resumption, Inter reclaims a rigour on Lautaro (question episode) and attacks on the lower head. The entry into the field of Pio Esposito gives new sap to the Nerazzurri, that touch the paris with the ex Spezia and push with the blue and Frattesi incursore, but they risk in counterfoot. The first attempt of the Arsenal (with Saka) slammed on Sommer, the second is winning with all the Inter in attack on a corner. The redistribution rewards Viktor Gyòkeres, who takes advantage of a gap between Saka and the defender to hit from the edge of the area. Submmer beaten and is 3-1 at 84’, with Inter that at this point no longer has energy to react and surrender to the ko. The Nerazzurri lose the third consecutive race in Champions, although after fighting high for 70 minutes, and stop at 12 points at altitude complicating the journey towards the eighth. Inter is momentarily out of the top-8 (nona) and, while beating Borussia Dortmund in the last round, the playoffs could become a reality for Chivu. The Arsenal, instead, makes seven out of seven and mortgage the first place: Gunners at 21 points and unreachable for all. – Photo Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS)
