Feyenoord Rotterdam blossomed this year to the favorite fright of the Champions League. In Inter Milan, however, they seem to have found their master.
Inter Milan took a big step towards the Champions League quarter-finals. In the round of 16 at Feyenoord Rotterdam, the leaders of Italian series A prevailed 2-0 and has thus created an ideal starting situation for the second leg in Italy in the coming week.
The Dutch hosts had blossomed into a favorite fright this season, in which league paves conquered FC Bayern, among other things, and switched off in the playoffs Inters City Rives AC Milan. However, they reached their limits against Inter.
Ex-Gladbach striker Marcus Thuram put the guests in the lead in the 38th minute. Shortly after the break, captain Lautaro Martínez increased. In the 65th minute, Piotr Zieliński even left the chance of 3-0 with a penalty. Should Inter make the quarter-finals clear in the coming week, you would meet the winner of the German duel between FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen.
It was the Champions League debut for Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie, who had only been introduced as the successor to Brian Piske two weeks ago. The Dutch had started his professional career at Feyenoord in 2001 and finished there in 2019.
