    FT: Inter 5-0 Shakhtar!! No added time from the referee and it's all over in Dusseldorf. Lautaro and Lukaku got braces while D'Ambrosio got the over goal in a comprehensive victory.

    That's the difference between the two teams. You have to take your chances. Shakhtar haven't taken theirs. Looks very likely this will be a Sevilla v Inter final.
