The return of old-fashioned Italian defenses? Last night, Inter Milan knew how to perfectly manage the reception of RB Leipzig for the fifth day of the Champions League. At home, the Milanese opened the scoring thanks to an own goal from Frenchman Castello Lukeba (25th) before managing the second act to finally win with a score of 1-0 and take the lead in the ranking of this new C1 formula, while waiting for the other matches scheduled for this Wednesday evening.
An impervious defense
Above all, the Interists have proven that they have an ultra impermeable defense. Indeed, Simone Inzaghi's men have simply not conceded a single goal in this European campaign after five matches. It is only the third team in history to achieve such a performance after Juventus Turin in 2004-2005 and Manchester United 2010-2011. In addition, this is the first time that the club has won four consecutive Champions League successes without conceding a single goal. With 13 points on the clock, Inter Milan are more than ever well placed to finish in the top 8 and thus avoid the play-offs, largely thanks to their iron defense.
