A new season of sports
Hundreds of spectators
Since Inter won the Champions League in the 2010 season, Serie A has not won the Big Ears Cup. During this period, Juventus repeatedly attacked the Champions League title, but unfortunately they fell short. Last season, Inter reached the final but lost to Manchester City, and now Serie A is once again in the Champions League, hoping to win the title, and this time they do have a lot of hope.
In the first leg of the knockout round, Inter Milan hosted Atletico Madrid, and they played extremely hard. Although most of the time, Inter Milan suppressed their opponents, but Atletico Madrid has always been a hard bone, and the La Liga giants stubbornly played with Inter Milan away from home, almost taking away a draw.
According to statistics, Inter had 19 shots (Atletico had seven), five more than twice as many as their opponents, but Inter did not score until the 79th minute. If they are held to a draw at home, it will be a bit difficult for Inter to eliminate Atletico away from home.
Inter pressed up front and then counter-attacked, Lautaro received the ball and headed straight into the opposition box, but his low shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. At the critical moment, Arnautovic stepped up, he shot with his feet in the penalty area for the first time, and the players who returned to defend were busy making mistakes and finally blocked the ball into the goal, which also decided the fate of the two teams.
Of course, Atletico Madrid can't blame their players for losing the goal, because if he doesn't block the ball, the ball will fly into the gate by itself. Especially the goalkeeper, his performance is good enough, and the goal can only be blamed on Inter being too strong. Judging from the performance of the two teams in 90 minutes, the score of 1-0 is indeed very fair, and Inter Milan deserved to win it. If Inter can't beat Atletico Madrid with such a big advantage at home, it can only be said that their fate is really bad.
After this game, Inter will be a guest next, and as long as they draw 0-0, they will enter the quarterfinals. With the strength of Inter, they are absolutely sure to get a draw away from home. In fact, Inter's goal this season is definitely not just to reach the quarter-finals, they are aiming to win the title and make up for last season's regrets. Now that Inter Milan have won the dust in Serie A, they can put most of their energy into the Champions League, unless they meet Manchester City too soon, otherwise it may be difficult for other teams to stop Inter.
Together with Lazio last week (beating Bayern Munich 1-0 at home), the two Serie A teams that have now played have both won. Facing the two giants of the Bundesliga and La Liga, the performances of Lazio and Inter Milan brought hope to Serie A fans. It's fair to say that Serie A is already on a complete rise, and they are now capable of challenging any of Europe's best teams. If Napoli can beat Barcelona at home next, then Serie A will be even stronger, this season, Serie A may win the Champions League at any time, especially Inter, they are now not afraid of any opponent, even Manchester City, may not be sure to beat Inter again!
