Kylian Mbappe has become all-time joint-fifth in the list of Champions League and European Cup goal scorers. The Real Madrid captain, who is 27 years old, opened the scoring for his side with a precise 14th-minute shot from just inside the penalty area. This goal marked his 71st goal in 99 appearances in the competition. In terms of total goals scored in the competition, only Karim Benzema (90), Robert Lewandowski (109), Lionel Messi (129) and Cristiano Ronaldo (140) have managed to outscore Mbappe.
The former Real Madrid player, Raul, holds the record for the most goals in the competition, having found the back of the net 71 times in 142 appearances. The first goal came after a blunder by Inter Milan's Spanish goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, who misplaced a back pass from Benjamin Pavard. This mistake allowed Federico Valverde to make up the ground and tap in the second goal.
Inter Milan tried to come back with a late double save from Martinez, but they eventually lost the match.
