Inter’s qualification was actually a formality, as Viktoria Pilzen mainly served as cannon fodder in Group C.
Still, it took more than half an hour for Mchitarjan to break the Czech resistance. The Armenian already knows how to score for 7 different clubs in the Champions League, something that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has done for him.
With goals from Edin Dzeko before and after the break, the last doubt was removed. In Barcelona they immediately knew what time it was, because for the second year in a row the team has to enter the Europa League after the winter.
In the final phase, all that was left was to look forward to the long-awaited return of Romelu Lukaku. He clearly hadn’t been sitting still, because after a one-two with Correa, he scorched with his left for the 4-0. A liberating goal for Lukaku, which was celebrated exuberantly, also by his teammates.
