admin“It was promised 20 years ago. Milan is us!”
Inter Milan (hereinafter Inter) held the 2022-23 European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League semifinal second leg against AC Milan (hereinafter referred to as Milan) held at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) in Milan, Italy on the 17th (Korean time). won 1-0 and advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 3-0.
Inter reached the Champions League final for the first time in 13 years since winning the 2009-10 season. They once commanded world soccer, but they lost their reputation for a long time and it took 13 years to recover.
Above all, it was meaningful in that it was the final obtained by overcoming the ‘Milan Derby’. Inter met Milan in the quarterfinals of the 2002-03 season and the quarterfinals of the 2004-05 season, but all collapsed with a total of 2 draws and 2 losses. It was very special to win the first ‘Milan Derby’ in the Champions League, as well as beat Milan to reach the final. And there was one player who felt this victory more special, and that was Federico DiMarco.
In the second leg of the semi-finals of the 2002-03 season, DiMarco was a ‘mini Nerazzurri’ as a 6-year-old. He watched the game from the field and remembered the image of Inter losing on multiple points.
In fact, in an interview with the local media before the game, DiMarco expressed his extraordinary emotions, saying, “It’s amazing that I, who was in the stands of San Siro 20 years ago, was able to play here 20 years later.”
DiMarco started in both the 1st and 2nd legs of the semifinals against Milan and led them to the final. After watching Inter’s setback 20 years ago, he took the lead in the fight for revenge 20 years later and finally enjoyed the joy of victory.토스카지노
After successfully advancing to the finals, DiMarco said on social media, “I promised at San Siro 20 years ago. And we made things right. Milan is us!”
It is very romantic that DiMarco, who has been a fan of Inter since childhood, became an adult and led a revenge match as a member of Inter. It is also dramatic that he erased the regret that lasted for 20 years beyond simply advancing to the finals of Inter.
Meanwhile, on the 18th, DiMarco and Inter will compete against opponents who will be decided by the results of the second leg of the semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid.
