Defense to three with Godin, Ranocchia and D'Ambrosio, on the wings of 3-5-2 of Conte there are Moses and Biraghi. Eriksen in the median, Lautaro on the bench, Lukaku and Sanchez points. Compassionate race, the 2-0 of the first leg suggests the cloth. Lukaku suffered a good ball, but Iliev hypnotized him and made a mistake. Ludogorets takes courage and surprises the nerazzurri in the 26th minute: Cicinho cross, Cauly Souza takes the time to a distracted Godin and electrocutes Padelli. Inter do not skid and immediately put the game back on track. At 31 'Eriksen pits for Biraghi which leads to the center, the detour of Terziev surprises Iliev at the first post in a classic own goal. The Nerazzurri understand that it is time to push and press the Bulgarians. In the fourth minute over 45 '(recovery' monstre 'for two interventions of the Var quite superfluous) Sanchez puts the ball on Lukaku's head in perfect central insertion, Iliev rejects somehow but right on the body of the Belgian in fall and the ball bounces Network.

Leading the interval, Conte meditates the turnover in the second half and starts again with Brozovic in place of Barella. At 52 'blow of Sanchez from 18 meters that crashes on the bottom of the crossbar and bouncing ball on the field. A wood also for Lukaku (59 '), who receives from Biraghi, turns quickly and beats with the right, Iliev lengthens the trajectory on the pole. Shortly afterwards the Belgian is replaced by Esposito. Padelli is careful about some lightness of the defense, neutralizes the conclusions of Keseru, Wanderson and especially Swierczok (the new entrant was in an excellent position). Inter have no problem sliding the game comfortably in the 90th minute.
