Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi is happy the Nerazzurri put one foot in the Champions League final after a 2-0 first leg semifinal win over AC Milan.

The Nerazzurri know it won’t be easy in the second leg against the Rossoneri. Especially with Portuguese winger Rafael Leao back in the lineup.

Leao wasn’t even on the bench for the first leg due to an injury sustained against Lazio in the Serie A. Rossoneri coach Stefani Pioli believes he will start against Inter in the return leg.

However after this win, the Nerazzurri have a big chance at reaching the Champions League final. A goal each from Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and a clean sheet from André Onana secured the win.
