Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku on target for Inter Milan as they book semi-final spot.
The Italian side booked a semi-final spot with a deserved win over Bayer Leverkusen on Monday night.
Nico Barella opened the scoring in the 15th minute when he curled in the ball to the net after Lukaku’s shot was blocked.
The former Manchester United forward would get on the score sheet six minutes later when he muscled his way from a challenge from Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba before putting the ball in the net.
The win sets up a semi-final against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk or Swiss outfit Basle, who meet on Tuesday
After scoring what proved to be the winner, Lukaku could have had a second goal when Inter were awarded a penalty for handball, but that harsh decision against Leverkusen was overturned by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Inter Milan are seeking their first trophy since their Coppa Italia win and will be calling on the Belgian to lead them to glory as he set a record by scoring in nine-straight Europa League games.
