Inter Milan narrowly beat Atalanta 3-2 in the Serie A match on Sunday, locking the top four in the league one round ahead of schedule and winning the ticket for the next UEFA Europa League. Inter's striker Nadalou Martinez, after scoring twice in the last Coppa Italia final, added one more assist and one more shot in the league match, and is in hot form. He is expected to be in the spotlight in the coming UEFA Europa League final against Manchester City next month.
Nadalu Martinez opened the scoring just a minute into the match when he sent a fine direct ball into the net for Lukaku to score a one-touch goal. Nicolau Ballerina's header made it 2-0 with less than three minutes to go. Atlanta tied the game at 1-2 with a goal from Paschalek, but Nadalou Martinez scored again for Inter before halftime to make it 3-1, and Atlanta made it 2-3 in stoppage time, but it was too little too late.
Inter Milan have won 10 out of their last 11 matches in all competitions, and the momentum is fast and furious. In particular, Nadalu Martinez has scored 5 goals in his last 5 appearances, and the 25 year old Argentinean international has already scored 21 goals in this season's Serie A, equaling his personal record for the most goals scored in a single season in the league. If he scores again against Toledo in the next round, he will set a new milestone. Lukaku has also scored five goals in his last seven appearances.
In the early morning of June 11th, Inter Milan will face Manchester City in the UEFA Europa League final. Although the "Blue and Black" were once favored, but with the efficient play of the two scorers, they are expected to create a "cold".
