UCL: Inter Milan secure last spot with 3-1 win over Feyenoord

Inter Milan advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals after a solid victory over Feyenoord at San Siro, sealing a 3-1 win on aggregate.  

Marcus Thuram opened the scoring with a brilliant solo effort, weaving into the box before firing into the top corner, putting Inter 1-0 ahead on the night and extending their aggregate lead to 3-0.

Feyenoord responded after Hakan Calhanoglu conceded a penalty for a foul on Jakub Moder, which the former Brighton midfielder converted to give the visitors a glimmer of hope.

However, Calhanoglu redeemed himself in the second half, confidently converting a penalty after Thomas Beelen brought down Mehdi Taremi in the box.

Thuram came close to adding another for Inter, narrowly missing the target, as the Italian giants secured their place in the last eight despite captain Lautaro Martinez starting on the bench.

Simone Inzaghi’s side will face Bayern Munich in April as they continue their quest to reach a second Champions League final in three seasons.

The Dutch side posed the occasional threat to Inter but the Serie A leaders were largely comfortable on the night.

Yann Sommer dived low to his left to palm Hugo Bueno’s long-range effort away and Givairo Read had a shot blocked as Feyenoord had 14 attempts on goal but only made one count
