How to filter a list by using another list?

I have these two lists:

my_targets = ["aa1","bb2"]
my_list = ["aa1_rtc","aa1fp","aar1","bb","bb2_11"]

How can I select only those entries from my_list that contain any of my_targets. Please notice that aa1_rtc and aa1fp contain aa1, while aar1 should be filtered out.

final_list = [i for i in my_list if i in my_targets]
len(final_list)

Expected result:

final_list =

["aa1_rtc","aa1fp","bb2_11"]

You can use a list comprehension with any for this:

[i for i in my_list if any(j in i for j in my_targets)]
# ['aa1_rtc', 'aa1fp', 'bb2_11']
