Lautaro Martinez became the top goal scorer in the Champions League after scoring the second of his two goals of his team when the Italian team fell 2-0 against Feyenoord in the 16th first leg.
Martinez followed his 18th goal in the competition shortly after half -time to overtake Sandro Mazzola when Nerazzurr took a big step to reach the last eight.
Marcus Thuram had given the visitors the lead in Rotterdam and they could have sealed the competition almost the hour if the goalkeeper of the host Timon Wellenreuther was not kept away from Piotr Zielinski’s penalty.
The result means that the new Feyenoord boss Robin van Persie has a monumental task in San Siro in its hands next week if the Dutch have hope for progress.
Interdesses will now go to the back full of confidence when they go better than in 2023 when they were beaten against Manchester City.
How the action develops
For a large part of the opening change, Serie A offered very little threats in the future. However, this changed at 37 minutes when a far -reaching step on the right side of Inter. Culminated in the ball.
Thuram reacted faster than the Feyenoord goalkeeper and defender and jumped up to sting into the roof of the network.
Brilliant Cross, brilliant finish! 💥

The goal of Inter controlled the draw and ensured that Martinez became the club’s leading goal scorers of the club.
Shortly afterwards, Feyenoord showed her threat when Brighton loan Jakub Moder rattled the Crosshar when Van Persie’s team desperately went back into play after a way.
But it was Inzaghi’s side that was given the opportunity shortly after the hour to further expand their lead when Jeyland Mitchell caught Thuram’s heel in the box. Var raised the original decision of the referee and a punishment was awarded.
However, the Dutch side received a lifeline, and Wellereuther also saved Zielinski’s Spot -Kick to keep the deficit in just two.
It may prove to be extremely important, but only if Feyenoord produces something close to a miracle in Milan in six days in Milan. On the other hand, foreign things happened.
