In a crucial Champions League clash, Inter drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad and secured their place in the knockout phase. Despite the early dominance, Sociedad and the Nerazzurri with Thuram, Mkhitaryan and Dimarco created more danger.#
The course of the match
In the first half Alguacil’s men controlled the ball possession, but Inter made themselves dangerous with Thuram, Mkhitaryan and Dimarco. In the second half, the team tried to up the tempo, but the result did not change. Lautaro missed a late chance and the match ended in a frustrating draw.
With the round of 16 secured, Dimarco&C did not show much quality. Inzaghi’s initial choices prevented the expected offensive strength. The 0-0 could complicate Inter’s path into the knockout phase, as it is not enough to gain passage as first in the standings
Second-half attempts, Inter try to win
For the assault on first place, Inzaghi reshuffled the line-up, resting some key players. Despite Sociedad’s initial aggression, the Nerazzurri resisted. Thuram’s attempts infused urgency, but the match remained evenly balanced. In the end, Inter failed to find the desired breakthrough.
The second half sees Nerazzurri pressing harder, aiming for a breakthrough. Inzaghi inserts Arnautovic, Lautaro and Barella, giving dynamism. Despite late chances, the score remained at 0-0.
With this result, the Milanese club will then see one of the European big names, including current champions Manchester City, come out of the urn.
Naples, Lazio and Milan
The same goes for Napoli who go through as runners-up and like Zhang’s club will find a European big name in the round of 16. Waiting to see tomorrow if, apart from Lazio, AC Milan will succeed in the miracle of passing the round.
