UEFA Champions League finalists to be known this week

Italian football giant AC Milan face a tough task to overturn a two-goal deficit against Inter Milan in the second leg of their cross-city Champions League semifinal clash on May 16 evening, although the Rossoneri look set to welcome back star player Rafael Leao after injury.

Inter Milan cruised to a 2-0 victory as they dominated the all-Serie A match last week and will have the vast majority of fans for their “home” football match at their shared San Siro Stadium, Al Jazeera writes.

The winner will face either Manchester City or defending champions Real Madrid in the final in Istanbul, Turkey on June 10. City will play Madrid in Manchester on May 17 in their second leg, after a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.

Although Milan and Inter have been crowned European champions 10 times between them, this year will be the first for 13 years to feature a side from Milan and the first Italian team to reach the final since Jose Mourinho’s Inter won the trophy in 2010.
