Real Madrid wins top clash with Inter

Two defensive errors denied Inter points at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, despite their good performance. On Tuesday evening, in the headline match of the first round of the Champions League, Real Madrid beat Inter 2:1. 

The Italian champions started the match strongly. But just when Inter were expected to score, it was Real Madrid who did.

Kylian Mbappe scored to make it 1:0 in the 14th minute, after an error in the Italian defence. It was not long before Inter goalkeeper’s mistake was turned into a goal by Federico Valverde. He scored in the 23rd minute to make it 2:0.

The score did not change again in the first half.

Inter tried to get back into the game in the second half, but the home side also had chances. Carlos Augusto scored in the 77th minute to make it 2:1. However, that was all Inter managed, thanks also to the outstanding form of Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. 

Despite the defeat, Inter’s performance was praised. Meanwhile, Real Madrid showed why it is a team “specialized” in the Champions League. They took all three points, even though they did not shine on the field.
