Inter Milan will be looking to win the Europa League trophy for the fourth time in its various guises when they face Spanish side Sevilla in Friday evening's showpiece at RheinEnergieStadion (Köln).
The Nerazzurri booked their place in the final after hammering Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 on Monday.
Lautaro Martinez broke the deadlock after 19 minutes, Danilo D'Ambrosio doubled the advantage in the 64th minute, before the Argentina international grabbed his brace with 16 minutes left on the clock.
Romelu Lukaku netted in his tenth consecutive Europa League match in the 78th minute before wrapping up the scoring at minute 83.
Chelsea loanee Victor Moses played a part in Inter's win, coming off the bench to replace D'Ambrosio with nine minutes left, his fourth appearance in the Europa League this season.
It was his third appearance in a Europa League semifinals, having gone the distance in the home and away fixtures as Chelsea beat Basel to reach the final in the 2012-2013 season.
The former Nigeria international took to social media platform, Instagram to react to Inter's comprehensive win over the Ukrainians shortly after the game.
Moses posted : "Job done ✅ Into the Final!"
The last time Inter Milan won the old UEFA Cup was in 1998, with a certain Taribo West starting for the Italian side and Moses will be hoping to emulate the retired Nigeria international on Friday when they battle the most successful team in the competition, Sevilla.
