"Inter" defense put on a show in Madrid, an unusual result for Haaland. Matches of the day
On Tuesday evening, the first six matches of the Champions League general group stage took place.
"Inter's" defense did not look as expected in Madrid, while Haaland recorded an unusual result. Match day
"Real" did not forgive the gross mistakes in "Inter's" defense — 2:1. Jose Mourinho won over his former team.
"Inter" players were completely bewildered at the "Bernabeu", and the team's play fell apart under the opponent's pressing. In the 14th minute, Curtis Jones won the ball near the penalty area, and Brahim Diaz took advantage of the situation, immediately supplying the ball to Kylian Mbappe, who was standing free behind him. The French striker does not miss such an opportunity.
The Milanese gifted another goal in the 23rd minute: goalkeeper Josep Martinez for some reason decided to use a feint, and Fede Valverde, who took the ball from him, made the score 2:0.
The Milanese responded with one goal in the 77th minute: Carlos Augusto put the ball crossed from the flank by Lautaro Martinez into the goal guarded by Courtois. However, the goals scored in the first half were enough for "Real" to win.
This evening, 27-year-old Kylian Mbappe managed to enter the top five best goalscorers in UCL history. The Frenchman has scored 71 goals in 99 matches — he caught up with Raul, who scored the same number of goals in 142 matches. The next goal is to catch up with another "Real" legend, Karim Benzema, who has 90 goals.
"Inter", meanwhile, lost points for the first time this season on this day. Before this, the team had recorded a three-game winning streak in Serie A.
Jose Mourinho improved his statistics in matches against "Inter". Before this, as the head coach of "Roma", he had lost five times and drawn once in six matches against his former team.
