Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Inter Milan thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 to set up a clash with Sevilla in the Europa League final
Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring at the ESPRIT arena in Dusseldorf, heading home Nicolo Barella's cross in the 19th minute
Shakhtar should have been on level terms midway through the second half but Junior Moraes wasted a glorious chance moments before Danilo D'Ambrosio (64) extended Inter's lead
Martinez (74) then added his second of the night with a fine finish before Romelu Lukaku's double (78, 83) extended his scoring run in the Europa League to 10 matches as Antonio Conte's side ran away with proceedings
Inter face five-time Europa League winners Sevilla, , in Friday's final in Cologne
Lukaku is the first player in UEFA Cup/Europa League history to score in 10 consecutive matches via a run stretching back to November 2014 with Everton
Lukaku and Martinez are the first duo to score 20+ goals each in a single season for Inter Milan since Adriano and Obafemi Martins in the 2004-05 campaign
He also became the first Serie A player this season to hit 50 appearances in all competitions while the Belgian is also the first Inter player to reach the milestone in a single campaign since Samuel Eto'o (53) and Javier Zanetti (52) in 2010-11
After a rather cagey opening, Inter made the breakthrough in the 19th minute with their first chance of the match
The Italian side capitalised on a terrible clearance from Andriy Pyatov as Nicolo Barella's inch-perfect cross picked out Martinez, who rose to head home for his 20th goal of the season
Inter came very close to doubling their advantage moments later but Lukaku, and then Martinez, failed to convert Ashley Young's low cross before Pyatov tipped Barella's powerful half volley over the crossbar
Shakhtar finally showed some conviction in their attacking play towards the end of the first half with Marlos setting up the Marcos Antonio, but his right-foot half volley flew just over the crossbar
Inter were back on the front foot at the start of the second half as Martinez, who dispossessed Davit Khocholava, saw Pyatov off his line and tried his luck from distance, but the Shakhtar keeper just gets back to tip the ball around the post
Lukaku then went close, curling an effort just wide as he looked to pick out the bottom corner and the Italians were almost made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal
Mykola Matvyenko produced a brilliant cross but Junior Moraes' header was straight at a grateful Samir Handanovic, who parried the ball away from goal
It was Moraes' miss that was punished as one minute and 55 seconds later D'Ambrosio rose highest at a corner to head home Inter second before Martinez produced a clinical finish to beat Pyatov from the edge of the penalty area
Inter then ran away with the game in th final stages as Lukaku got in on the act
Martinez set up the former Manchester United striker for Inter's fourth before using his pace and power to round off proceedings six minutes from time with his 33rd goal of the season
Inter Milan boss : "I am very happy to say we feel very satisfied because our fans see Inter Milan reaching, firstly, a semi-final and now a final of the Europa League after ten years
 Of course, we are really looking forward to provide some satisfaction to all of them, but we also know we are facing an opposition with great experience
"They have won this tournament five times already, so we will have to prepare ourselves in the same way we have done against Shakthar
"I have a great satisfaction to see how the team are giving everything they got with plenty of eagerness and resolution
 I am satisfied also because the players do really believe in what we are doing, in what we are proposing
 I think we play a very brave game
"Shakhtar boss : "Our progress in Europe was great until this very day
 We gave the game away to our opponents
 We knew Inter's pressing was very good but we couldn't do anything against it
 We lost to a great team who deserved this win
"We've had a fantastic journey until this game
 Of course, we are unhappy with the result
 It will make everyone remember a very sad ending of this campaign
 We were not ourselves after the second goal, and the coach must always take the responsibility
"We had some chances but Marcos Antonio and Junior Moraes didn't score, unfortunately
 When Inter scored their second goal we simply collapsed
 After 2-0 we made so many terrible mistakes
"An honourable mention has to to go to Martinez, but the man of the match award goes to Lukaku, who just cannot stop scoring in the Europa League
