Martin Ødegaard was central before Real Madrid’s first goal in the Champions League.
INTER-REAL MADRID 0-2
Real Madrid with Martin Ødegaard in the starting eleven achieved a major win in group B of the Champions League on Wednesday night. Goals from Eden Hazard and Rodrygo ensured the 2-0 victory over Inter Milan.
The three points take the Spaniards to seven points, one point behind Borussia Mönchengladbach, at the top of the table.
Inter, on the other hand, is last with two points after four games.
– This game helps us on the way forward. It was important to be able to continue in the Champions League. We played a very good match and controlled most of the things so we are very happy with that, says Ødegaard in the post-match interview.
The Norwegian was also asked about the death of Diego Maradona.
– It is a sad day for everyone and for the whole world of football. He is an idol of all football. It’s a sad day, says the Norwegian.

Vidal exploded: – It’s not the smartest thing he’s done
Martin Ødegaard was immediately involved in the match when he sent a pass to Nacho. The Real goalkeeper, who has replaced an injured Sergio Ramo, went to the ground and gave Real Madrid a penalty in the seventh minute.
From the penalty spot, Eden Hazard went cold and sent the guests ahead.
Lucas Vasquez was able to double the lead right after when he sent a shot to the post from an angle.
After half an hour, it should come to a full boil for the Inter player Arturo Vidal. The Chilean went to the ground first and yelled a penalty, without referee Anthony Taylor agreeing.

Vidal rested claiming the yellow card after a particularly unpleasant tackle. However, the Inter star did not give up and went, incomprehensibly, in the face of the referee three seconds later.
Thus also came the second yellow card.
Vidal was sent off after two yellow cards in a total of five seconds.
“Not the smartest thing he’s done in his career,” was TV 2 expert Erik Thorstvedt’s sarcastic summary during the break.
Real went into the break with a goal lead after a positive effort from Ødegaard.
The Norwegian was very involved with the ball and made good combinations with several of the teammates, something among others said Jesper Mathisen of TV 2.
Important victory in the search for advancement
Just before the time was played, Ødegaard was replaced. Brazilian Casemiro took the place of the Norwegian in midfield.
In the same sequence, Rodrygo replaced striker Mariano at Real Madrid on offense. The substitute took only seconds to present himself when he doubled the advantage with a shot at the net from close range.
Inter tried to push for downsizing, but the Italians struggled to create big enough opportunities with one less man on their own turf.
Ødegaard made his debut
Martin Ødegaard gained confidence early on for Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League game against Inter.
The great Spanish club let the Norwegian play in the center of the field in his first match in the most prestigious European tournament alongside Eden Hazard, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Before the game, Real Madrid were going through a difficult period in which they have only won three of their last eight games in various tournaments.
In the Champions League, the team added four points after its first three games. The victory came in the home game against Inter three weeks ago before they took three new points against the same opponent on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid can secure progress with victory in the next away game against Shakhtar Donetsk.
