INTER MILANO vs REAL MADRID | Champions League Group Stage Matchday 1 | 15.09.21 | 21:00 CET

Overall I thought we had the better of the second half. First half was kind of scatterbrained and even the second could have gone either way, but I generally felt we had decent control of the game in the second half. Good subs by Carlo.

 

3 points away to the top seeded team in the group whilst not having a good game. Defo take it.

Rodrygo is silky in the box.

 

Sweet sweet victory

 

Fede to Camaving to Rodrygo.

Music.

Got the job done. Much better second half by us.

Tibo is great.

Alaba is great.

Hala Madrid.

 

Hazard probably got a day off after playing a lot recently which is a good thing.

 

CAMAVINGA!

 

Camavinga what a gem

 

Very poor first half and pretty dominant second half.

 

That pass from Camavinga looks better with every replay. Outrageous touch.

 

We can already see a team for the future, we really have a brilliant set of youngsters
Vini Mbappe Rodrygo
Set for the next 10 years

 

@YOUNGSTARS87 Eduardoooooooh with a goal and an assist in his first two matches

 

Dream start bro.

I was hoping we could temper expectations but I don't think we can lol.

That is an 18 year old!

 

Awful first half apart from the last 10 minutes but very good 2nd half, that goal by Rodrygo ( who was a vast improvement over LV ) was a beauty, great combination and the fact that Camavinga actually made that run into the box to invite that lob pass from Fede is something of note, doubt our other midfielders make that run without the ball.


Rodrygo really is Mr Champions League and he especially loves Inter lol

 

I think we can rely on Cama to rest Casemiro next game. Do it.

 

The clown Vidal comes on, we win, pretty straightforward

Also what the hell was that reffing? Brozovic literally out there only to foul and hack and the ref keeps encouraging it. Go ref in rugby dude.

Courtois was fantastic, Vini still on great form; but the entire rest of the 11 was underwhelming. Carlo got the tactics wrong but the subs right - and that made the difference.

 

The run from Camavinga to make it a one two move. And then the assist. Brilliant.

 

What a great couple of games from Camavinga so far. First game in league he has a goal, first game in CL he bags an assist.

Exciting times ahead. Asensio was the last player who had a better debut, but idk what happened to him. Smh.

 

Brozovic was also the first one complaining to the referee when a RM player fouls them. He was a total chode the entire game.

 

Inter Milan couldn't have played better than that and yet we still got the job done. Great subs by Carlo and philosophy of football. Still went for the win till the end, didn't close up shop but still a lot of questions about the defence and balance in the team.

One thing, the team right now is a joy to watch despite some faults. I can't wait for the next match, I did not feel that level of excitement last season.
