(Inter 0-2 Real Madrid) For the first time in his career, Martin Ødegaard was on the pitch in a Champions League match. And the Norwegian appeared immediately.
Only five minutes were played when the Drammen player played a good stick through Nacho Fernández, who at the time of the shot was missed by Nicolo Barella.
Referee Anthony Taylor immediately pointed to the penalty spot and Eden Hazard scored his first Champions League goal as a Real Madrid player.
– Good team game, the points were the most important, says Hazard according to Marca.
Barely an hour had passed when Martin Ødegaard was replaced by a more defensive Casemiro. At the same time, Rodrygo replaced Mariano Díaz.
The substitute performed equally well when scoring on his first touch. A sensitive pass from Lucas Vázquez found its way to Rodrygo, who nailed the ball into the goal through an Inter player.
– We were calm, but this game helps us for the future. It was very important to advance in the Champions League. We played a very good game and we controlled everything. That is why we are very happy now, Martín Ødegaard tells Spanish television after the game.

The agreement was very decisive in terms of the opportunity for the teams to pass from group B. Inter had to win so as not to depend on aid to continue.
So, Arturo Vidal was scored for a hat trick! The Chilean lost his head after crying out for a penalty just over half an hour away.
It seemed like the midfield dynamo had a good cause, but should have kept quiet after Taylor got the yellow card.
Instead, he stepped forward in the face of the English referee, who drew yellow card number two, and thus ordered the march for Vidal.

In the second half, Inter again requested a penalty, but this time it was not confirmed by Anthony Taylor either. Instead, Real Madrid rose to 2-0.
– We played a very complete game. Offensively, we handled the game well. We were in control, says Raphaël Varane according to Marca.
Real Madrid’s victory means that Inter must win both games to advance, while at the same time depending on the Spaniards beating Borussia Mönchengladbach.
They will then come to a mutual agreement with the Germans. However, Real Madrid will already be ahead if they beat Shakhtar in the next game.
The match opened with a minute’s silence in memory of Diego Maradona, who died a few hours before kickoff at Giuseppe Meazza.
– It is a very sad day for the entire football world. He was an idol for all of us, says Martin Ødegaard.
