After a short break on Tuesday, UEFA Champions League battles returned to the football stadiums of the Old Continent.
In the central match of the round (Group C), "Inter" and "Barcelona" teams clashed in Milan.
The hosts celebrated a victory of 1:0 after a goal by H. Calhanoglu.
The match started with the visitors trying to take control, while S. Inzaghi's players tried to respond with counterattacks.
Soon, H. Calhanoglu tested M. ter Stegen with a powerful shot from a distance, but the German goalkeeper deflected the ball.
At the end of the first half, "Inter" launched a decisive attack. H. Calhanoglu received the ball near the penalty box and scored a fantastic goal - 1:0.
In the second half, "Barcelona" tried to equalize, and in the 67th minute, Pedri succeeded in doing so with a shot that left no chance for the hosts to defend.
However, the referee decided to review the play and disallowed the goal due to a handball by Ansu Fati. Dissatisfied "Barça" coach Xavi received a yellow card.
The match ended with a crucial 1:0 victory for the Milan team. Despite having 68% ball possession, more shots on goal (7 to 3), and more corner kicks (13 to 3), "La Liga" representatives couldn't help but secure a win.
