Inter Milan faced a tight final round of the Champions League group stage and finished second in Group D against La Liga powerhouse Real Sociedad. The two sides are tied at the top of the table, with both on 11 points, but Real Sociedad's advantage on goal difference gives them a temporary lead over Inter.
Although both sides have already secured qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League, the winner of the group remains undecided. A win would allow Inter to leapfrog their rivals to top the group, while Real Sociedad would only need a draw to secure the lead.
In this game, Inter Milan sent a strong lineup such as Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Thuram, and Darmian to face the game, while the away Real Sociedad sent key players such as Kenei Kubo, Zaharyan, Lenormand, and Muñoz. However, what is surprising is that Inter Milan was forced to draw by their opponents at home and missed out on the first place in the group.
Inter had just 45 per cent possession and had 10 shots on goal throughout the game, with only two of them on target, suggesting that the Inter players did not seem to be fully engaged in the game. Although both sides have already qualified, the result of this game deprived Inter of the chance to fight for the top spot in the group.
