We know that talking about justice in the world of football is a risky matter, but the truth is that Inter Milan won over Atletico Madrid (1-0), in the first leg of the round of 16 – the Champions League final. The Champions League looks to fit perfectly with what was seen at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

The team led by Simone Inzaghi was clearly superior and created more chances and only failed to achieve a better result because it was so. Very ineffective.

On the other hand, Atletico have the advantage, despite being ineffective in approaching the opponent's area, they were able to open the encounter in the second leg.

Difficult knot to untie

Although expectations were high, the first minutes of the match were disappointing. The two teams presented themselves in a very similar way (3-5-2) on the field and ended up adapting well, in a scenario that did not contribute to the scene. Samuel Leno created the first chance of the match with a cross shot that went wide of the goal, and until the 30th minute scoring opportunities were created. Practically zero.

Since then, driven by fan support, Inter Milan has improved in the game. Furthermore, until the end of the first half there had been four occasions for nerazzurriWith Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in evidence.

However, the target did not appear French injury Even in the move in which he tried to trouble Oblak with a shot on goal.

Waste until you get it right

Inzaghi then invited Arnautovic to the match, which may have been the right decision. However, the path to realizing this hypothesis was rather long and painful. Do you doubt that, dear reader?

In the 49th minute, Demarco brilliantly sent the ball to the Austria international at the far post, but he could do no better than shoot over the crossbar. Shortly afterwards, two great chances for the number 8: the first with a header wide after a cross from Barella; Then, with a big loss after an excellent combination with Lautaro Martinez.

It seemed that the fans' patience with Arnautovic was beginning to run out, as some boos were heard when he touched the ball after all these mistakes, but everything changed in the 79th minute. The distance between the villain and the hero in the world of football is short, and after taking advantage of an incomplete save by Oblak on Lautaro's shot, The Austrian opened the scoring with a left-foot shotWhich prompted the fans in the stadium to go crazy.

Until the final whistle, Atletico tried to increase its lines and insist a little more, but the best they were able to do was a shot far from the goal from Samuel Leno.

With this result, Milan has the advantage in the second leg, although the confrontation is still open.
