Impenetrable Inter Milan Could Make UEFA Champions League History Vs Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

High-flying Inter Milan could make UEFA Champions League history in tonight’s heavyweight clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are one clean sheet away from setting an unprecedented feat at Europe’s top table.

Defensive resilience displayed by Simone Inzaghi’s side in the opening five league-phase fixtures has been off the charts.

Indeed, Inter head into Match Day 6 as the only team in the Champions League yet to concede a goal.

That’s no small feat by any stretch of the imagination, especially considering they faced Arsenal and Manchester City.

Denying RB Leipzig at Giuseppe Meazza last time out put the Italian giants in a unique position.

Inter Milan Could Make UEFA Champions League History vs Bayer Leverkusen

No team in the storied history of Europe’s elite club competition has ever opened a new campaign with six consecutive shutouts.

That’s well within Inter’s reach, even though Leverkusen’s scoring prowess could hinder those ambitions.

Yann Sommer knows in-depth about thwarting Die Werkself.

During his memorable stint in the Bundesliga, the ex-Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper faced Leverkusen 19 times.

It’s worth noting that he conceded 40 goals, dampening Inter’s spirits ahead of this trip.

However, Sommer looks well-positioned to turn his fortunes around this time.
