At half-time, Leon praised the whole team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although in the first half, Inter Milan only scored two goals, which was not a big score, but the whole team performed very well, and the rhythm of the whole game was controlled by Inter Milan.

After all, Porto is a Portuguese Super League giant, although this is compared with the 2004 European Champions Cup champion team, the strength has dropped a notch, but, after all, the opponent is a strong team with a back, Inter Milan can in such a situation, did not give Porto people any chance, not bad!

Not long after the start of the second half, Luka Modric was injured in a scramble.

Although the team doctor checked and found that there was no major problem, Modric could continue to play.

However, for the sake of safety, Leon still replaced the Croatian youngster.

He was replaced by Marchisio.

It was Marchisio's first Champions League appearance this season.

Leon's task to Marchisio was straightforward, helping the team sort out the midfield.

Throughout the first half of the game, when Marchisio was sitting and couldn't play, Leon told Marchisio to watch Modric play and use his brain to imagine what he should do on the field.

Of course, he didn't know that Modric would be injured in the second half, but Leon had planned to give Marchisio a chance in this game, but Modric was injured, which made Marchisio get a chance to play early.

***********

Seeing Luka Modric, who had performed so well in the first half, was replaced injured, Adrianse's face flushed as if he had been beaten with blood, and he thought it was a good sign, a turning point in the game.

His chance for Porto came.

In the 69th minute of the game, Inter Milan played a smooth pass in the front court.

Marchisio is in possession.

Ronaldo's diagonal run, apparently to get Marchisio to pass the ball to him, caught the attention of the Porto, who is in horrible form at the moment.

Ronaldo's run tugged at the Porto defence.

Marchisio glanced at Ronaldo, who suddenly accelerated to run, but sent the ball directly to the left, Juan Mata, who was running in the opposite direction.

"Beautiful pass!" Ferrari shouted.

Juan Mata sprinted beautifully with the ball and Ronaldo's forward effort caught the attention of the Porto defence, who is now unguarded on his side.

'Inter's chance! Juan Mata continues to dribble the ball, he cuts inside, he cuts down the middle and goes into the box!'

One of Porto's defenders quickly threw down Adriano, another striker in the box, and ran up to make up for it, but Mata shook the ball with a sudden stop.

"Beautiful!"

Shaking off the defenders, Mata lifted his feet and made a stance to volley!

Porto's goalkeeper was on standby, and the defender on the other side, who had been attracted by Ronaldo, also rushed over.

Juan Mata's left foot makes contact with the football, not a shot!

With a flick of his ankle, he went straight out of the football!

This is passed on to Ronaldo!

***********

Ronaldo met the flying football, he raised his right foot, and it looked like he was about to volley!

"Stop him!" a defender rushed over, intending to block Ronaldo's shot with his body.

The Brazilian star's right foot was raised, but instead of pumping it on the football, he rubbed it with the outside of his instep!

The ball arced again, this time to the middle!

At the top of the arc of the exclusion zone!

Now, everyone is drawn into the forbidden area, and there is an empty space!

Then, Marchisio was seen rushing up, stopping the ball on his chest and then volleying straight away!

The ball sticks to the turf, is fast, and sweeps towards the goal.

The Porto goalkeeper was completely distracted by Inter's succession of passes, and by the time he realized that Marchisio was here to make a last-ditch move, he was slow to react as he watched the ball pass by the left side of his body and into the net behind him!

***********

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Brilliant combination, beautiful goal! Inter Milan man completely dizzy the Porto!"

"Marchisio, this is his first Champions League game for Inter Milan, and he scored, and it was the first goal for the youngster for Inter Milan!"

Marchisio was so excited after the goal that it was his first goal in the Champions League and his first in the first team.

He rushed straight to the dugout and gave Leon a hard hug, and Leon took him from Turin to Milan and fulfilled his promise when he signed to give him the opportunity to play, which is a very precious trust and promotion for a young man.

"Well done! Claudio!"

The other players chased him to the sidelines, patted him on the head and shoulder, and congratulated him on the goal.

Leon pushes Marchisio to the players, allowing the excited brat to accept the ravages of his teammates.

He returned to the dugout and sat down. He didn't look at the away team's dugout again, after this goal, Adrianse and his Porto were finished, and the Porto people who had their backs to the water, because of this goal, their morale was greatly damaged, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Inter Milan.

***********

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Portuguese giants Porto relatively easily at home.

While winning the right to qualify from the group in advance, it also gave Porto four consecutive defeats in the group stage, and this team basically has no chance of qualifying from the group, and even the chances of relegation to the Europa League for third place in the group will become slim.

After the whistle blew at the end of the match, the Estadio Meazza thundered with joy as the team qualified from the group ahead of schedule, much to the excitement and pride of Inter Milan fans, who were the first Italian team to qualify for this season's UEFA Champions League.

The good news came two minutes later, and even louder cheers erupted from the stands in Meazza.

In the other game, Slovak league champions Atmediaja equalised twice after falling behind twice to draw 2-2 at home to Rangers.

In this case, this round of group stage matches is over, and Rangers and Atmediaa both have five points!

Inter Milan won all four games and got 12 points, and with two rounds left in the group stage, they not only won the right to qualify for the group in advance, but also successfully locked the top spot in the group in advance!
