Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi described their run to the Champions League semifinals as a dream and said they will give it all they have got against city rivals AC Milan as they battle to become the first Italian finalists for six years.
Inzaghi could not hide his excitement after his team drew 3-3 with Benfica in their second leg on Wednesday to win their quarterfinal 5-3 on aggregate, reaching the Champions League semis for the first time since they won the trophy 13 years ago.

“My boys? They were historic,” Inzaghi told Inter TV when asked about his players’ performance.
“It’s historic, because of what they are doing, reaching both the Champions League and Coppa Italia semifinals.
“We know that some points were left on the road in the Italian league, but it’s most because of a crazy schedule.
“When we were drawn in a group with Bayern [Munich] and Barcelona back in August, we were very, very far away.”
