  • Group D The final classification

Precision is cruel because it is not measured by weight, it does not always correspond to effort. He can train, and he trains, but in soccer there is something innate that makes him possess himself since he was a child. Toni Kroos and Asensio had it. That is why their goals can appear out of nowhere, when Madrid is dominated or when they barely take minutes on the field. What difference does it make. It is a blow, an instant. Inter, a good Inter who entered the Bernabéu with a mower at the speed of a racing car, paid for it to drive it without gloves. Madrid have plenty of pairs, in the eighth as first and in a healthy moment, which allows Ancelotti to do therapy with Jovic or Hazard. [Narration and statistics: 2-0]

Inter served what served him, nothing more, and did not speculate on how to achieve it. To win, you attack. Although the dialectic of football admits other paths, Simone Inzaghi did not consider going in search of the victory that would give him the first place from inferiority. Inter started authoritarian, intense, with a very high rhythm of play, and deep. He pushed Madrid towards his area, in which Militao emerged, with the only alternative to look for Vinicius at the exits. They were few in front of an overwhelming dominance during the start, with Dumfries and Perisic, the lanes, permanently in the windows of the Courtois area. The first was the owner of the right and of all the areas through which it was deployed. Only a physical problem can explain why it was the first change, substituted at half-time. Perisic, for his part,he is hurtful in his every decision, as if time did not pass for this member of the great Croatian generation.

At San Siro, Inter missed Perisic against Madrid, although this did not prevent them from dominating Ancelotti's men, although with less energy than they did at the Bernabéu at the start. The bet for a similar rhythm requires a goal. If not, it is unsustainable. Brozovic tried twice with his pitches and so did Perisic, but Carvajal got in the way. Dzeko headed high, and Calhanoglu's precision also missed the bow. Occasions, in short, without the necessary definition, the opposite of what Kroos represents.

In the middle of the interista tide, the German's shot was like seeing a white buoy appear. The Italian team maintained its inertia, but already with the conviction of having lost its moment. The minutes did nothing but confirm it until the break with a Madrid that had reversed the trend. Ancelotti's team showed his trade when he needed it, quite the opposite of his rival, both on the bench and in the field. Simone Inzaghi used up the changes, five, before his Madrid counterpart had made any. On the pitch, Barella got out of hand after being brought down by Militao with the usual intensity for the Brazilian. The center-back, chanted in the stadium, is tough but without double intentions. The Italian, who had a good start and a great chance at the start of the second half,the game ended prematurely, in the worst way. The possibility of being first for Inter was already an Everest. Time, then, to start saving energy. Casemiro, warned, was the first to go to the local bank.

Jovic, who returned to starting after his good minutes and his goal at Anoeta, is progressing well.

He doesn't have the mobility or energy for high pressure, but he does have a punchline.

Tried it, much more integrated into the game.

He left the field to applause when Asensio arrived to score the second goal, a tremendous shot, but less than Vinicius.

The Bernabéu has a new idol.

Instead, Hazard entered.

Madrid backwards.

Or to the right.
