Milan - Lecce 0:2
The outgoing champion celebrated her return to the semi-finals of the Champions League after 16 years and until the double meeting with her city rival she must improve her positions in the league in light of the battle for fourth place.
After two consecutive cycles without a win and a single win in six cycles, the Rossoneri achieved three points thanks to a pair of the undisputed star Rafael Lao who in the 40th minute scored with a shot from the level of Sandro Tonali and in the 75th minute celebrated his goal and the second at the end of a spectacular individual operation - similar to his breakthrough against Napoli in the quarter-finals of the champions that ended in a shootout for Giroud, this time he raced almost a full half until he kicked to the far corner and the ball stopped only in the net.
The guest broke a streak of six losses in the previous round with a 1:1 home draw against Sampdoria, and although they lost again, they remained two points away from the red line.

Empoli - Inter 3:0
Quite a few murmurs were heard about Simona Inzaghi and Inter's league is really faltering, but he returned the club to the semi-finals of the Champions League after 13 years and on the fourth he will meet Juventus in the semi-final rematch of the cup with the possibility of making a second final in a row.
Today he improved a bit in the league when he broke a streak of five rounds without a win, thanks to a pair of Romelu Lukaku (48, 76) and his assist to Lautro Martinez (88) who came on as a substitute in this game.
Empoli, who beat Inter 0:1 away about three months ago, have been left with a single win in the 12 games they have played since then and have not yet guaranteed a stay, when in the last three cycles they did not even find the back of the net - something that has not happened to them in three consecutive league games since March 2017.
