Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Inter in their Champions League opener, primarily due to costly errors from Inter that proved costly. The match saw Inter dominate possession for extended periods, but their performance was hindered by mistakes that cost them crucial goals. Jose Mourinho reunited with former Inter teammate Cristian Chivu for the Bernabeu showdown, with Curtis Jones making his debut for Real Madrid.
Inter's absence of Federico Dimarco and Djed Spence did not prevent them from putting up a strong fight. However, the Merengues' early lead, which came from a Carlos Augusto goal, proved decisive. Despite maintaining 67% possession in the first half, Inter could not capitalize on their dominance and ultimately fell short.
