Inter Milan Frustrates Porto to reach Quarter-Finals

Inter Milan held off Porto in a gritty 0-0 draw on Tuesday to reach the Champions League quarter-finals with a 1-0 aggregate triumph.

The Italian side, three-time winners of this competition, progressed to the last eight for the first time since 2011.

For the first time since 2006, both Inter and AC Milan have reached the quarter-finals.

Clutching a one-goal advantage from Romelu Lukaku’s last 16 first-leg late winner, Inter set up to frustrate at the Estadio do Dragao.

Porto had the better of the game but only managed to test Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana on a few occasions and failed to make the last eight for the third time in their last five attempts.

Their finest chances came in stoppage time at the end, when Mehdi Taremi and Marko Grujic both hit the woodwork, and Marcano had an effort cleared off the line.
