The Champions League Knockouts Beckon As Italian Clubs Soar In Undefeated Run

Inter Milan has qualified for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) Round of 16 with two group games remaining as all four Italian clubs went unbeaten on match day four.

A late penalty by Lautaro Martinez sealed Inter’s spot in the knockout stage with a 0-1 away win in Salzburg, the Nerazzurri progressing alongside Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and fellow Group D side Real Sociedad. Inter boss Simone Inzaghi brought Martinez on in the 68th minute, the Argentine converting from the spot five minutes from the end of the game when the Beneamata were awarded a penalty for a handball.
