Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku struck in the second half for inter Milan to beat Benfica 2-0 in the first leg of their Uefa Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.
Barella headed home firmly at the back post in the 51st minute, rising unchallenged to get on the end of a superb cross from centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, who was storming up the left side and delivered a pin-point ball.

Substitute Lukaku then converted an 82nd minute penalty after VAR referred a handball by Benfica skipper Joao Mario for review by English referee Michael Oliver, who gave the spot kick after looking at the video monitor on the side of the pitch.
