Inter was pressuring the hosts, creating several very good chances, before leveling the score in the 68th minute. That was when Ivan Perisic hit the back of Real’s net. Both sides would increase the tempo back then, but Los Blancos had more composure in the key situations, with young Rodrygo bringing them a win ten minutes before the end.
“We are pleased and relieved. We knew it would be a tough match, but we were ready and got the three points, which is the most important thing. Zidane asked myself and Vinícius to lift things on the pitch,” he said after the match.
