Inter 1-0 RB Leipzig, an own goal is enough for another win in the Champions League

Everything is needed, in this still unbeaten campaign. Concentration, technique, nerves of steel, heart and intensity are all needed. There is no single formula for these Champions League nights: adapting to the factors faced is key. The desire to win and continue to keep marching on through the qualification phase onto the elimination phase, the knowledge of a busy calendar, filled with fixtures, the pure desire to please the fans at San Siro, the ability to maintain a high level against any type of opponent. Then there are episodes: one can go in your favour, just like Dimarco's free kick which Lukeba put into his own net. An own goal which gave us the three points in a match where nothing could be taken for granted, dominated in one half and then a bit on edge in the latter stages. One statistic stands out: only one shot on target from the opponents (with a great and important stop from Sommer) who faced an offensive display from the nerazzurri which troubled the visitors. La classifica di Champions League parla chiaro: l'Inter dopo cinque incontri è in vetta, davanti a tutti in attesa del Liverpool, in campo mercoledì. 13 punti, quattro vittorie e un pareggio, sette gol fatti e nessuno subito. Percorso praticamente netto, con questo 0 nella casella dei gol incassati che esalta il pacchetto arretrato nerazzurro che, anche in questa occasione, ha perso un pezzo in corsa, con l'infortunio occorso a Pavard sul finale di primo tempo. The Champions League standings speak clearly: after five matches, Inter are top, ahead of everyone as we wait for Liverpool to play on Wednesday. 13 points, four wins and one draw, seven goals scored and none conceded. A practically clear-cut campaign, with zero goals conceded, highlighting the defensive solidity of the nerazzurri. The defence Partita a due velocità, come detto. L'avvio, sicuramente, è solo ed esclusivamente nerazzurro. Dentro la bruma che cala su San Siro l'Inter sfreccia, con un 11 diverso da quello visto a Verona. Bastoni e Dimarco arano la fascia sinistra e producono tanto gioco, Taremi va al tiro, i cross pericolosi spaventano la retroguardia tedesca. Il 4-4-2 imbastito da Rose - che lascia in panchina Sesko - è sorretto da un monumentale Kampl e dalle sgasate improvvise di Openda, che costringe al giallo prima Pavard e poi Bastoni. L'Inter gioca bene, lo fa palla a terra, imbastendo un gioco di alta qualità. Nei primi 15 minuti il possesso nerazzurro supera il 70%, e produce conclusioni al termine di reti di passaggi belle e spettacolari. Il vantaggio, come detto, arriva su una punizione tagliata di Dimarco, deviata in rete da Lukeba. Un vantaggio meritato che fa rallentare l'Inter, ma che non elimina i pericoli per il Lipsia. Palloni velenosi nell'area di Gulacsi non finiscono in porta per poco, e così la squadra ospite resta in vita.

Inter controlled the game, especially in the first half, with quality and plenty of chances created. The second half was less exciting, Inter lowered the pace of the game and left space for the opponents. Sommer was important on one occasion against Nusa, there were some slight scares in the end with vital interceptions from Dumfries and De Vrij, before the ruled out goal for Mkhitaryan due to a foul from Thuram. Inter will be back in action in the UEFA Champions League on Matchday Six on 10 December against Bayer Leverkusen.
