Inter Milan 5-0 Shakhtar Donetsk: Player Ratings as Conte's men reach their first European final in 10 years | UEFA Europa League 2019-20

Inter Milan qualified for the final of the Europa League with a sensational 5-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in Dusseldorf on Monday night.

A brace each from Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku and a goal from Danilo D'Ambrosio sealed an absolute rout for Antonie Conte's Inter Milan who now face Sevilla in the final in Cologne on Friday.

Inter Milan started off as the much better side. Martinez gave them the lead in the 24th minute, and the one-goal lead stayed till half-time.

In the second half, Inter Milan decided to flex their muscles. D'Ambrosio headed a Marcelo Brozovic corner past Andriy Pyatov in the Shakhtar goal to double their lead on the night.

Martinez then added his second before setting up Lukaku for his 32nd goal of the season. It didn't take long after that for the Belgian to get his 33rd as well and put Shakhtar to the sword as Inter Milan reached their first European final in a decade.

On that note, let us have a look at the player ratings of both teams from the second semi-final of the 2019-20 Europa League between Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Inter Milan Player Ratings

Samir Handanovic - 6/10

He had only one save to make all game, and he really didn't know too much about it. A header from Junior Moraes hit the Inter goalkeeper and rebounded safely back into his grasp before any damage could be done.

Diego Godin - 7/10

On the right side of the back-three, Godin dealt well with the threat of Taison cutting in on his left foot as he gave the Shakhtar veteran very little space.

Stefan de Vrij - 7/10

De Vrij had a comfortable night against Junior Moraes. Shakhtar kept the ball well but had no cutting edge, and Moraes was isolated upfront. That made De Vrij's task easy.

Alessandro Bastoni - 7/10

The youngster had another solid performance in his breakthrough season for Inter Milan. His passing out from the back, both short and long, were outstanding in this game.

Danilo D'Ambrosio - 7/10

He defended reasonably well for the most part, and most importantly, took his chance to score when it came his way. He jumped high at the back-post,and headed Brozovic's corner back across goal to give Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov no chance.

Marcelo Brozovic - 6/10

Brozovic kept things neat and tidy at the base of Inter Milan's midfield. He also got himself an assist with a corner to set up D'Ambrosio.

Nicolo Barella - 8/10

Barella's energy and technical excellence in midfield made him a standout player in this game. He began the rout in the first half when he capitalised brilliantly on Pyatov's error. Barella played an inch-perfect cross which was met by a fabulous Martinez header.

Roberto Gagliardini - 6/10

Gagliardini's role in Inter Milan's midfield is generally to provide energy and thrust to complement the technical prowess of Brozovic and Barella. He did that well again as Shakhtar's creative midfielders were shackled.

Ashley Young - 6/10

Young was given a constant test by Marlos and Dodo who were high up the field as Shakhtar dominated possession. But the Englishman was dogged and disciplined and barely gave the Shakhtar attackers any room to create from that flank.

Romelu Lukaku - 9/10

He had a frustrating game until midway through the second half, but then he burst into life. After being set up by Martinez, he calmly rolled a finish past Pyatov. Just a few minutes later, he used his strength brilliantly to shrug off a couple of Shakhtar defenders and finish through Pyatov's legs.

Lautaro Martinez - 10/10

With two goals and an assist, the Argentine was the undoubted star turn for the Inter Milan side. Both the header in the first half and the superb finish into the bottom corner in the second half were bits of perfection from the Argentine who hadn't really been in the best of form coming into this game.

Inter Milan Substitutes:

Cristiano Biraghi - 5/10

Biraghi replaced Young midway through the second half and helped Inter Milan see out the game with no jitters.

Victor Moses - 5/10

By the time he came on, the game was already pretty much sealed, so it was nothing more than a run-out for him.

Christian Eriksen - 5/10

He could've had a goal for himself, but Esposito decided not to square it to him for an open goal and then missed the chance himself.

Sebastiano Esposito - 5/10

His only real involvement in the game was the chance that he should've squared to Eriksen. But he did well to round Pyatov, only to put his finish into the side-netting.

Stefano Sensi - 5/10

With the games having come thick and fast for Inter Milan, Sensi was brought on to ensure some rest for Brozovic.

Shakhtar Donetsk Player Ratings:

FC Internazionale vs Shakhtar Donetsk - UEFA Europa League Semi-Final

Andriy Pyatov - 4/10

In the first half, when his side were looking rather comfortable in possession and Inter were not creating too many chances, Pyatov's mistake opened the game up. He played a stray pass that Barella seized upon and set up Martinez's goal. The veteran goalkeeper was hardly at fault for the other Inter Milan goals, though.

Dodo - 5/10

He had a tidy link with Marlos on the right flank for the Ukrainian champions, but like most of his teammates, he didn't have a cutting edge. He did get into some excellent crossing positions, only to find no Shakhtar attackers in the box.

Serhiy Kryvtsov - 4/10

He didn't really deal well with Martinez throughout the game. The Argentine's clever footwork and movement left the centre-back a bit short of answers.

Davit Khocholava - 5/10

Lukaku was mostly camped on his side, and the Georgian dealt with the threat well for the most part on his return to the side after being suspended for the quarter-final. However, when Lukaku hit his stride late in the game, Khocholava was caught like a deer in the headlights.

Mykola Matviyenko - 4/10

With Shakhtar Donetsk still in the game at 1-0, it was imperative that they didn't concede cheap goals. Instead, Matviyenko didn't even jump while trying to defend a corner, and D'Ambrosio made him pay.

Taras Stepanenko - 5/10

Stepanenko was very effective in helping Shakhtar Donetsk keep possession, but he could've played at a much higher tempo. Even though he helped his team be tidy on the ball, the lack of pace of their movement meant that Inter Milan were pretty comfortable all game.

Marcos Antonio - 6/10

He was the most impressive player for Shakhtar Donetsk on the day, with his movement in tight areas and ability to manipulate the ball standing out.

Marlos - 5/10

As always, he looked pleasing aesthetically, but there was way too much sideways and backwards movement from him and far too little forward impetus.

Alan Patrick - 3/10

Generally Shakhtar's chief creative option, he barely had an influence on the game. He was mostly stationed too deep, didn't really take risks and played well within himself.

Taison - 4/10

The experienced Brazilian winger couldn't really cause much trouble to the Inter Milan defence. Both D'Ambrosio and Godin were alive to his ability to cut in from the flank and cut out the option completely.

Junior Moraes - 4/10

The striker cut an isolated figure amidst the three Inter Milan centre-backs. Given how slow the Shakhtar buildup was, it was hardly surprising that the striker wasn't in the game. He had one chance, however, when he put his header straight at Handanovic.

Shakhtar Donetsk Substitutes:

Manor Solomon - 4/10

The Israeli international replaced Alan Patrick, but much like the Brazilian, couldn't impact the game in the final third.

Yevhen Konoplyanka - 1/10

One of his first acts after coming on to the pitch was to give the ball straight to Martinez who set up Lukaku for Inter Milan's fourth goal.
