Opportunities galore for Inter
Inter is currently comfortably in the lead in Serie A. It was also in control in the 1/8th finals of the Champions League against Atletico.
They got off to a good start, but were unable to immediately translate their dominance onto the scoreboard. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram missed the best chances.
Atletico (with Witsel in the starting line-up and Vermeeren on the bench) created some nice combinations. Creating goal chances was a different matter.
Axel Witsel and Atletico’s defense have to work hard in Milan.
Substitute Arnautovic converts one
Same game pattern in the second half. Now it was Marko Arnautovic, he replaced the injured Thuram, who missed the chances. The Austrian managed to aim the ball over the goal, face to face with Oblak.
After three misses, Arnautovic still scored. On the rebound he knocked in an attempt from striker Martinez.
The return match will take place in Madrid in 3 weeks.

Applause for Andi Brehme
Before the match starts, Andreas “Andi” Brehme joins hands. The German with an Inter past has died at the age of 63.
Inter is one of the four or five best teams in Europe.
Diego Simeone
No Vermeeren, but Witsel
No first Champions League minutes for Arthur Vermeeren at Atletico. Simeone starts his new midfielder from the bench. Yet, with Axel Witsel (in the heart of the defense), a Belgian is at the kick-off against Inter. See the full lineup below.
