Inter beat Atletico Madrid 1-0

in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

At San Siro, the Nerazzurri struggled against Simeone's organized team and at the end of the first half they had to give up Thuram, the victim of a contracture.

Arnautovic came on in his place in the second half, missing two good chances before scoring the 1-0 goal in the 34th minute.

The return match will take place in Madrid on 13 March.

Misunderstanding between Reinildo and De Paul which opens the way for Lautaro, who kicks at Oblak.
