Nerazzurri and Bayer 04 struggled in the early stages. Only after a quarter of an hour did it go round – Barella led Inter 1-0 with a fine external shot. A strong individual action by the well-placed Lukaku meant a 2-0 for the Italians shortly afterwards (21st). Nevertheless, the Rhinelanders managed to digest the double and scored a 1-2 goal four minutes later through Havertz (25th). The game then calmed down. The Milanese now defended very well and did not let anything burn in the back. After the side change, the Italian vice champion had a better start and twice awarded the 3-1 – Gagliardini (50th), Eriksen (60th). The Germans continued to struggle to break the Lombard defence. There were no goals scored and Inter Milan celebrates its entry into the Europe League semi-final. In the end, Leverkusen can be glad not to have lost even higher.
The Conte-Elf started the season in the Champions League and finished third in a group with Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona and Slavia Prague. Accordingly, the Euro League continued and the Nerazzurri are still unbeaten and have won all four games – Ludogorets (2-0, 2-1), FC Getafe (2-0), Bayer Leverkusen (2-1).
Top Goalscorer Romelu Lukaku is the most striking inter-player in EL with four goals. Christian Eriksen entered the scoresheet twice.
Matias Vecino and probably Alexis Sanchez (thigh problems) will be injured on Monday.

Luis Castro’s team had a tailor-made start against FC Basel and rejoiced at Junior Moraes’ lead in the second minute. The Swiss almost got the perfect answer, but Cabral headed to the post (4.). With increasing playing time, Schachtar dominated the game more and more and in this phase earned a 2-0 position (22nd, Taison). Shortly before the break, the bar even saved from 0-3 (40th). In the second 45 minutes, the FCB was unable to disagree. But you couldn’t create a real danger of goal. On the other side, Alan Patrick fouled 3-0 (75th) and Dodo 4-0 in the 88th minute Van Wolfswinkel scored an honorary goal for weak Basels in the second period (92nd). A fully deserved success for Donezk, who was also absolutely deserved in height.
The Castro-Elf was also one of the relegates of the royal class. With Manchester City, Atalanta Bergamo and Dynamo Zagreb, Schachtar also had tough competition. The Europa League continued from the mid-term round. Against Benfica Lisbon (2:1, 3:3), VFL Wolfsburg (2:1, 3:0) and FC Basel (4:1) the Ukrainians did their homework very well and remained unbeaten.
The most successful goalscorers in the EL are Junior Moraes (4 hits) and Alan Patrick (3). Otherwise, no other player hits twice so far. With 14 goals in only five European League games, Donezk is very offensive.
The one-time UEFA Cup winner (2009) has to forego some injured players in the semi-finals. Ismaily, Maksym Malyshev, Vyacheslav Tankovskyi and Vladyslav Vakula will fail.
