Real Madrid open their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan at the Santiago Bernabeu. Jose Mourinho faces his former club as Madrid establish a two-goal advantage before Carlos Augusto pulls one back for Inter.
Multiple outlets describe the match as tense and high intensity, with Real Madrid ultimately holding on to secure the win. France 24 reports that both goalkeepers—Real’s Thibaut Courtois and Inter’s Josep Martinez—make key saves during the game. While the other sources focus primarily on the result and the “winning start” framing, they align on the same scoreline, the setting, and Mourinho’s connection to the matchup.
Overall, coverage across outlets is consistent that Madrid start with a narrow win, overcoming a late Inter response to preserve their two-goal lead.
