The already rabid group B after the second victory of “Shakhtar” over “Real” seemed to have gone off the chain. The victory of “Inter” in Mönchengladbach and could create something unimaginable at all. He came for her, hoping that the 3-0 away game against Sassuolo (second in Serie A) would have spoiled things after the defeat against Real Madrid: new hashtag about Antonio Conte #Conteout, a banner of the ultras who threatened to come with baseball bats. heavy conversation in the locker room. Borussia has also caught up. For the first time outside the Champions League group in history. Although he did not get the result he needed for this. The opponent was in a better mood.
In the best games of the previous season, “Inter” started very powerful, often scoring. This has disappeared this season. He came back only in one match against Sassuolo with two goals in the first 15 minutes. Today the Nerazzurri were a minute and a half late. However, the goal was totally deserved. They gave the ball to the opponent, they pulled him forward, they ran to the counter. Even before the goal, two advances from Darmian’s right-back ended with two blocked and imprecise attacks from Martinez at point blank range. Then Lukaku and Gagliardini connected Matteo, and he asked the goalkeeper. Shots from Lautaro himself from the pass to Lukaku were dragged by the defender and Sommer.
The hosts made the first shot on goal only in the 26th minute. Then the guests dominated. However, after the 35th minute they stopped, the “Borussia” started. The ocean liner fired powerfully from a distance. Tyuram made his way to the left. These punches Khandanovich pulled out. But Plea’s head point-blank from a canopy rented only to Milanese Lazaro scored. At the beginning of the second half, there seemed to be an equal fight, very slimy and tough. But Inter managed to add. Lukaku turned Lautaro from 18 meters to the shelf. And soon Romelu himself broke through in his buffalo style and passed Zakaria in the far corner.
The madness was just beginning. The “Borussia” had a chance when Handanovich left the door without realizing it. But there the defenders made sure. Soon Alexis Sánchez threw Hakimi, who replaced Darmian, into the gap, and Ashraf easily found Lukaku free in the penalty area. Sánchez immediately made a mistake, Thuram threw Plea into goal kick from the right. Young couldn’t match the ball within a meter of the empty goal. And Plea, abandoned by the defenders in the 83rd minute, scored again. However, there the VAR noticed that another Gladbach player in an offside position was blocking the goalkeeper’s view. And “Inter” resisted.
8 points for Gladbach, 7 for Shakhtar and Real, 5 for Inter. The first three will have enough of their victory, the Italians need a home win over “Miner” and the same result of “Real” at home against “Borussia”. And these are just the easiest options for event development, part of them. Group B has already passed the brink of insanity. So much the better for the audience.
