UCL Leg 1s: Inter Pace Milan in Semifinal (2-0); Real Madrid & Man. City Deadlocked (1-1)
The UEFA Champions League is now 1/2 through the semifinals after Wednesday’s all-Italy clash between Inter and AC Milan — the Derby della Madonnina. The two clubs both use San Siro as their home turf, so there’s no shortage of rivalry reels in this one. Inter used two early strikes from their veteran stars as Edin Dzeko (8’) fired a one-timer off a corner-kick and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (11’) smashed one minutes later to put the pressure on their crosstown rivals in Leg 1. Tuesday’s semifinal clash between the holders (Real Madrid) and Manchester City was a 1-1 draw to set up an exciting second leg. A full season of European kicking comes down to the next few next weeks as the upcoming Leg 2s will tee up the Champions League finale on June 10.
