Mourinho gets going at Madrid, Inter starts with a win and Man United loses

Inter Milan opened its title defense with a commanding 4-1 victory over newly-promoted Monza in Serie A. The match began with Inter scoring a swift goal through Hakan Çalhanoğlu in the sixth minute. Inter's defense proved vulnerable, however, as Monza equalized through a sloppy clearance. Stones eventually came on as a substitute to help Inter secure their lead.

Pio Esposito, who had an impressive season last year, opened the scoring with a powerful backheel flick in the second half. Yann Bisseck added another goal shortly after, cementing Inter's impressive start.

In Spain, José Mourinho will make his return to Real Madrid by leading the team away against Espanyol. Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Hull in the Premier League. The loss highlighted the club's struggles despite a season-long return after a nine-year absence. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the goals for Hull, with both set-pieces being decisive.
