Inter are back in Europe: Stjarnan beaten 6-0

< ![CDATA[

MILAN – The door to Europe is now wide open and Inter can stride through it after 180 minutes against Stjarnan. A whole continent beckons and is there to be conquered thanks to the Nerazzurri’s double success in Iceland and Milan. Thanks to the backing of the 45,000 who turned up at the Stadio Meazza. Thanks to a fine hat-trick from Kovacic (including an exquisite chip), Osvaldo’s header and a brace by Icardi.

The 6-0 second-leg triumph was a victory earned by a compact, battling team that never let up. Just as the coach ordered. Now all the attention turns to the draw on Friday 29 August (13:00). But before then let’s enjoy having reached our first target of the season.
