"The owner of AC Milan", "Where was Rafael Leao?" - Twitter explodes as Inter Milan seal their place in the Champions League final

Inter Milan sealed their place in the UEFA Champions League final with a 1-0 (3-0 aggregate) victory over their cross-city rivals AC Milan on Tuesday (May 16).

Lautaro Martinez grabbed the winner at the San Siro in the second half as Simone Inzaghi's men secured a semifinal aggregate win over the Rossoneri that was never really in doubt. However, Stefano Pioli's side did go close early on when Brahim Diaz's tame effort was saved by Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana in the 11th minute. The Spaniard should have done much better with his effort, though.

Rafael Leao returned from injury, having missed the first leg, but spurned a golden opportunity to get AC Milan back into the tie. The Portuguese forward broke clear of Mateo Darmian, but his left-footed strike in the 37th minute sailed past Onana's goal.

There was a close shave at both ends with Rossonerri goalkeeper Mike Maignan making a superb save to deny Martinez's header in the 39th minute. Pioli's men would live to rue the number of chances they missed in the first half.

Martinez sealed Inter Milan's place in the Champions League final in the 74th minute. The Argentine forward played a clever one-two with Romelu Lukaku before firing past Maignan at his near post.

The game then petered out with Inter knowing they were heading to Istanbul for the final and their rivals admitting defeat. The Nerazzurri will now face either Manchester City or Real Madrid at the Ataturk Stadium on June 10.

One fan lauded Martinez by alluding to him being AC Milan's kryptonite. The Argentine now has eight goals in 14 games across competitions against the Rossonerri:

Another fan asked where Leao was amid his quiet showing on his return from injury:
