A bit surprised to see how difficult benfica is to attack intermilan. I meant to look at the statistic. Intermilan was losing its dominance against benfica but it was able scoring 2-0. The quality between intermilan and benfica is different. benfica was playing so badly in the last night against intermilan.
It seems like the bad trend still continues until the second leg where benfica will be playing away against intermilan. I think that this gonna be a disaster for benfica since it was losing big aggregates and playing away will make its team get so much pressure.
Benfica feels very unfamilar with the defensive strategy that is used by intermilan. That was benfica some difficulties. Benfica got some golden chances but the problems is the lack of control of the ball making the shots became inaccurate.
Simeone inzaghi is very satisfied with the result achieved by intermilan. Intermilan has been bringing the positive trends into the sansiro. The chance for intermilan to win in the second leg is very high after seeing how good intermilan was playing against benfica.
Simeone may not use an offensive strategy against benfica in san siro. he may still try to use same strategy again.
This important victory in leg 1 also guaranteed Inzaghi to be able to stay at Inter Milan. Inzaghi was voiced by his fans to be sacked due to disappointing results in Serie A, but uniquely, Inzaghi has always provided a long breath for the Nerazzurri to continue advancing in two tournaments, namely the Champions League and Coppa Italia.
