ABU DHABI, 19th April, 2023 (WAM) — Man City are through to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the third season running after a 1-1 draw in Munich completed a 4-1 aggregate triumph against Bayern.
In the other semin-final clash, Inter will face city rivals Milan in the semi-finals after seeing off Benfica at Stadio San Siro.
In the former encounter, Pep Guardiola’s side drew 1-1 on the night to add to our 3-0 win in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium eight days earlier.
Erling Haaland missed a first-half penalty but scored a brilliant 57th-minute strike to dent Bayern’s hopes of a turnaround.
Joshua Kimmich scored a late equaliser from the penalty spot but City moved into the Champions League semi-finals for a third successive year and set up a last-four clash with Real Madrid in May.
In Italy, Inter led 2-0 from the first leg and extended that lead inside quarter of an hour thanks to a fine strike from Barella, who drove forward, exchanged passes with Martínez and then curled in with his weaker left-foot.
Martínez had a goal disallowed as Inter looked to hammer home their advantage, but Benfica drew level on the night when Fredrik Aursnes rose superbly to head home Rafa Silva’s right-wing cross.
David Neres was introduced at the break by the visitors and they started the second half brightly, but just before the midway point of the half, the home side got the crucial third goal on the night when Martínez blasted in Federico Dimarco’s low pass across the box.
