Strange situation in which Real Madrid was before the start of today’s clash. Bottom of the group after having added only one point in the first two games, the team trained by Zinedine Zidane played a good part of their aspirations in this edition of the Champions League. In front, an Inter Milan that also arrived in a delicate situation with only two points. And it is that, if there is not a significant change in the situation, and in view of the results that Borussia Mönchengladbach is reaping, it seems that the other gap between Madrid and Lombardy will be played in the round of 16 of the competition.
Knowing what was at stake, Real Madrid knew how to read the game very well in its first half. The whites pressed up and made it extremely difficult for Inter Milan to get the ball out, which showed tremendous deficiencies in this regard. It was precisely from an internal failure that the first goal of the crash was born. Achraf tried to delay a ball to his goalkeeper from practically the center of the field and Karim Benzema emerged to take the ball, dribble past Handanovic and make it 1-0 (minute 25). Despite this error, the visitors were still determined to get the ball out, played and encountered difficulties.
Real Madrid squeezes the mistakes of Inter Milan
Despite this circumstance, Inter Milan proved to be a hard-working team. Antonio Conte knows perfectly how the team should play and his players interpret him very well on the pitch. Brave, generous in effort and well drawn, the Lombards are a very interesting mix of style.
Just a few minutes after the Frenchman’s goal, Real Madrid struck again (33 ‘). On this occasion it was Sergio Ramos who came out of a corner thrown by Toni Kroos finished off perfectly while Handanovic watched helplessly. With 2-0 the game seemed to be very expensive for Zinedine Zidane’s men … although it was not like that.
And it is that a few seconds after taking Nicolò Barella out of the center of the field, he made a genius in the form of a spur pass that left practically only a Lautaro Martínez who did not waste the assistance and reduced the advantage on the scoreboard. With the 2-1 and Lucas Vázquez as one of the best on the local side, a first half ended that also had in the differences between Fede Valverde and Arturo Vidal (one on the outbound trip and the other on the return trip) one of his key factors.
Inter press, Real Madrid is reborn
The crash took a radical turn when both teams left the locker room. Real Madrid lowered the pressure and allowed a much more comfortable ball exit to Inter Milan. The Italians thanked them and little by little they were becoming owners of the game. The ball prowled with great danger Thibaut Courtois goal until the pitcher broke. Lautaro Martínez headed a long pass that ends at the feet of Ivan Perisic. The Balkan did not forgive and put fear in the body with the 2-2.
Inter Milan took a step forward and the ghost of elimination was in the air. Lautaro Martínez and Ivan Perisic enjoyed two clear opportunities to definitively execute a Real Madrid that in the three games it has played in this edition of the Champions League has conceded no less than seven goals.
However, when everything was against it, Real Madrid was reborn. He did it hand in hand with two substitutes who had only been in the green for a few minutes. Vinicius left at speed and crossed a ball that reached his compatriot Rodrygo inside the area. The Brazilian settled the ball on his right leg and shot Handanovic’s goal to make it 3-2. There were ten minutes left but Inter Milan was already knocked out. Next assault, in Milan.
