It’s time to take a look at the Real Madrid vs Inter Milan player ratings for this UEFA Champions League match at Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. 

Real Madrid had everything on the line for tonight’s game against Inter Milan at Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. Borussia Monchengladbach’s 0-6 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk put them in a very complicated position for the rest of the tournament. They urgently needed a win after one draw and one defeat in the first two matches.

Los Blancos faced Antonio Conte’s squad in the first of two consecutive games. The Nerazzurri are last season’s Europa League finalists but they didn’t have Romelu Lukaku on their starting eleven. Zidane’s squad started the game well after Achraf Hakimi gifted Karim Benzema with a ball that allowed him to score the first goal.

Not soon after that, Sergio Ramos scored the second of the evening through a potent header. Just as things seemed to take an easy turn for the locals, Barella set Lautaro up with an unreal backheel assist for Inter’s first goal of the evening. 

Perisic and Rodrygo appear for both sides. 

Already in the second half, both squads were having a hard time scoring another goal. Despite playing a decent first 45 minutes, Eden Hazard got a knock from Brozovic and had to leave the pitch in order to give Rodrygo and Vinicius their shot.

Both Brazilian youngsters responded well after Ivan Perisic scored a surprising equalizing goal that was about to leave Los Blancos against the ropes. But Vini assisted his compatriot for an impressive winner that leaves his side with 4 points.

Group B got a lot more interesting with Borussia Monchengladbach leading with 5 points. Real Madrid and Shakhtar trail behind them with 4 units each. Zidane’s squad was close to getting virtually eliminated from the competition but they saved the result in the end.
