Inter took a big step towards the semifinals of the Champions League with their 2-0 win over Benfica at the Estadio da Luz in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

The job is far from done, but goals from Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku combined with yet another clean sheet in the competition for Andre Onana were enough to give the Nerazzurri a big advantage to hold onto in the second leg at the San Siro next week.

Legendary former defender Marco Materazzi congratulated the team on the win.
