FC Bayern Munich offered Inter Milan a courageous fight in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, but in the end the semi-finals cost three inattentive minutes at two corners.
After the 1-2 in the first leg, the second meeting ended on Wednesday evening in the Giuseppe-Mazza Stadium 2: 2 (0: 0), which means that the end of Munich against Serie A. Inter Milan now meets Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona in the semifinals.
Harry Kane achieved the Munich lead in the 52nd minute, Lautaro Martinez (58th) and Benjamin Pavard (61.) turned the game before Eric dier did the equalization again (76.).
Müller praises Italian “buffalo”
“We play against the best team in Italy who have conceded two goals in front of us in the entire Champions League season”after the game at “DAZN”, Thomas Müller classified the performance shown: “In the end, I saw players on the pitch who did and gave everything. […] If someone goes in again in the last five minutes, then we may open the gate again. But it wasn’t like that today. “ A “real” Müller set was also available with a view to the many half chances: “Of course, the Italians also block well with their buffalo.”
Müller and Olise get started directly
In the rainy Milan, coach Vincent Kompany put the same line -up as at the weekend against Borussia Dortmund, so played with Thomas Müller, with Minjae Kim and without Raphael Guerreiro. Müller equated with his 163rd mission in the premier class with Lionel Messi. Only Iker Casillas (177) and Cristiano Ronaldo (183) have more missions.
The game started directly. Just 90 seconds were played when Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig had to be wide awake and intercept a passed pass on Marcus Thuram with an energetic jump. But the very active Munichers were also present several times in the opposing sixteen, Michael Olise’s shot after Hacken-Fillage by Müller was just blocked (3rd), Yann Sommer parried a Müller-Groß shortly afterwards (5th).
Bavaria active, but Inter lurks
The Kompany-Elf pressed the hosts extremely high, but the Italians, on the other hand, added the Bayern midfield in the Munich structure and then retired closed to lurk to switching moments. In the meantime, the Bavarians had almost 70 percent possession of the ball and especially the duo from Müller and Olise kept combining each other excellently, but at Inter, every pinprick immediately caused a huge turmoil on the defensive of the Bundesliga club.
After half an hour, the encounter had calmed down a little bit and the first Bayern vortex was over. Inter took part in the game design, grew stronger and had the best chance of the game to date: After a free kick flank from the left, the ball extended by Francesco Acerbi barely past the long post and Thuram’s foot (29th). Shortly before the break, however, it was the guests again who got a lot of final matters, but almost always one of the very well organized Milan legs was somehow in the penultimate moment. Bayern had nine degrees during the change of sides, the hosts seven.
Kane briefly ensures great hope
In round two Milan caught the better start, Urbig parried an unpleasant conclusion to the short corner in the 50th minute, but then the Bavarians struck: Goretzka conquered a ball that was too short and then put right into the penalty area. The Englishman stood in isolation against Dimarco, who did the favor and acted rather waiting – Kane losed him with a short movement and shot into the far corner to 1: 0 (52.). The cheers almost lasted for 60 seconds, but Thuram brought the ball into distress only too centrally on Urbig.
Twice corner – Inter meets twice
In the end, the guests led more than 60, but also not more than 300 seconds. Dimarco found Lautaro Martinez with a corner from the left, who first process the ball too undisturbed and then enforced with a low shot from a short distance (58.). The Bavarians protested, had seen a slight arm contact when accepting Lautaro, but the hit withstood the check. The Bundesliga club seemed visibly shocked, Inter pushed for the 2-1 – and was therefore successful. Eric dier clarified shortly before the goal line to the corner, but this time, this time from the right, led to the next goal. Pavard skipped the unfortunate Kim and nodded (61.).
Two badly defended corners within three minutes had tipped the game. Müller called the way the goals in the game analysis later called “clumsy”. Already in the 2-2 against Dortmund the Bayern had both goals to flank, one of which even collected after a corner kick, before that it had also been a high -spooned ball against Augsburg, which had led to the Augsburg lead.
Diers Fantasy head Resting high -tensioning final phase
Kompany now brought Guerreiro for Kim and Serge Gnabry for Leroy Sané – the Munichers had not gave up. Olise failed in the 75th minute on the long post completely freely on the shiny summer, but the subsequent corner brought the equalization and new hope: after the short -played corner, Gnabry got the ball, flanked from the right to the other side. On the baseline next to the long post, the ball wanted to put the ball in front of the goal, but the play equipment got such a swim that it got longer and longer with almost impossible trajectory and lowered the goal (76.).
Inter now withdrew completely, the Bavarians played almost like in handball around the hosts’ penalty area and looked for a gap to 3: 2. A cross from the very invigorating Gnabry missed friend and enemy (90.+1), after which Kane shot over the goal from a difficult reserve. The stadium now cheered every defense campaign of the Nerazzurri, it only played FCB-and in the 95th parried summer a very last champions League Bavaria header from Müller. It was not enough for more, the dream of “Finale Dahoam” has been dreamed of for Bayern – and all because of three minutes.
