Conclusion:
It was a really gripping game in the second half.
Gladbach sold themselves really dearly here and in the end had bad luck that Inter managed to equalize.
Ultimately, however, the 2: 2 is absolutely fine.
90th + 7 minutes:
OFF!
PAST!
Gladbach gets a point in Milan.
90 + 6 minutes:
For God's sake!
Free kick from 18 meters on the left for Inter.
Kolarov puts the ball down and winds the leather around the wall - external net!
90 + 3 minutes:
The VAR deployment in front of the Gladbach goal ensures that there are six minutes of stoppage time.
It can get really dramatic here ...

90th minute:
TOOOOOR!
Is that bitter!
The equalizer succeeds from the corner because the Gladbachers are sleeping at the far post and Lukaku is completely free and pushes the ball over the line.
89th minute:
Summer!
Madness!
Kolarov crosses from the left in the middle, Darmian rushes in - but Sommer steers the ball over the goal!
85th minute:
TOOOOOOOOOR!
Madness!
Gladbach leads!
Neuhaus with a monster pass from his own half to the starting Hofmann.
He is free and stays cool in front of Handanovic.
Is that crazy!

82nd Minute:
What's going on here now?
On the one hand, Martinez fires the ball from a very short distance to the post after a Darmian cross!
On the following counterattack, the rushed Handanovic Plea knocks down and sees yellow.
80th Minute:
Almost 2: 1 for Gladbach!
A free kick from the half-field puts Ginter's head dangerously in front of the goal, where Thuram prevails in a duel against de Vrij, but cannot place the ball and therefore only heads on the roof.
74th minute: It
almost happened!
A corner from the right comes to the goal with a lot of cut.
Martinez extended, but Perisic was too surprised at the second post and placed the ball with his shin next to the goal.
71st Minute:
Inter now still has slight advantages, but the Rose-Elf has slowly groped its way at eye level.
However, there are still 20 minutes left.
66th Minute:
Admittedly, the equalization of the Gladbachers came as a bit of a surprise.
But so be it!
However, the goal doesn't seem to give the foals any security at first - Eriksen tries from a distance.
Just over.
Live ticker: Gladbach against Inter!
Bensebaini hits from the point
61st minute:
TOOOOOOOOOR!
Bensebaini grabs the ball and transforms it really hard into the lower right corner!
No chance for Handanovic!
60th Minute:
Gladbach calls for a penalty!
Kuipers doesn't see it ... and now looks at it on the screen - and still gives it!
58th Minute:
The foals seem to have found each other again and are now taking the initiative a little.
Inter withdraws and leaves the playground equipment to Gladbach.
However, there are easier tasks than scoring a goal against an Italian team.
53rd Minute:
Gladbach is now swimming!
Inter have two decent opportunities in quick succession.
Apparently Borussia is still a bit shocked because of the goal they conceded.
49th minute:
TOOOOOOOR!
Now it's rattling!
Martinez has the chance, but lays his head across, but Darmian keeps the ball in play, Lukaku is then seven meters in front of the goal and pushes the ball over the line.
Not undeserved leadership for the favorite.

Mamma mia ...
Inter 1-0 Borussia.

46th Minute:
It continues with the second half.
Inter changed once.
For Alexis Sanchez, Laturo Martinez is now storming alongside Lukaku.

Half-time conclusion:
Inter is better here because they are more mature and clever.
But Gladbach holds up well against it.
However, there is little to be seen on the offensive - but from both teams.
45th + 1 minute:
halftime!
Referee Kuipers ends the first round.
45th minute:
It was almost there!
Thuram, Plea, Embolo - everything in onte-touch football.
In the end, the Swiss from the left wants to put Hofmann in the spotlight at the eleven point, but plays the ball too steeply.
What a pity.
44th Minute:
Kuipers doesn't really have much reason to replay ...
41st Minute:
Lukaku!
In the last few minutes the game was sluggish, but the Belgian woke them all up.
Lukaku comes into the penalty area with speed, wobbles briefly and tries to finish, but the ball rushes just past the left post.
33rd minute:
Neuhaus mega-ball hits the starting Hofmann, who sneaks behind the line and suddenly stands blank on the right edge of the box.
However, the cross pass is too imprecise and Plea cannot reach it.
There was more in it!
30. Minute:
Half an hour is played.
Inter are the more mature team here, Gladbach can be seen from the nervousness.
At least they seem too nervous and hasty in their offensive actions.
The good thing: Inter had only one real chance so far.

26th minute:
We are still waiting for the first chance for the foals.
Although the Rose-Elf is now moving a little more at eye level again, not too much goes together on the offensive.
21st minute:
First really big chance in the game - for Inter!
Sanchez puts Darmian in the spotlight on the right, who lays down on Eriksen in the back area, but Gladbach's shot is blocked in dire need!
Inter are now clearly tightening the reins here ...
Inter Milan - Gladbach in the live ticker: Promising initial phase - opportunities on both sides
15th minute:
Inter now takes a bit of command here, Gladbach is just running behind and loses the ball too quickly on the offensive.
The Milanese are particularly dangerous on the left wing.
So far everything has been going well for Borussia.
13th minute:
Summer grabs!
Eriksen takes heart and pulls the free kick from a good 30 meters onto the Gladbacher box.
But the keeper is there and catches the leather safely.
9th minute:
Both teams are looking for the direct route to the goal, but have not yet allowed defensive rows.
In any case, it was an appealing initial phase - even without all the great opportunities.
5th minute:
Now the first dangerous action by Inter!
Triple winner Perisic marches to the left and is not disturbed by the Gladbach team.
His cross comes well to the second post, where Darmian has moved in, but cannot put the header on goal.
2. Minute:
Played a few minutes, but already two somewhat exciting attempts by Gladbach.
However, Inter-keeper Handanovic only had to intervene once - and had no problem with that.
But it looks good.
1st minute:
Let's go!
Björn Kuipers whistles for the game between Inter Milan and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Update from October 21, 8:56 p.m.:
The players
step onto
the sacred lawn of San Siro.

Better than a ghost game, after all.
It starts in a few minutes!
Update from October 21, 8:29 p.m.:
It starts in half an hour, then referee Björn Kuipers whistles the game in the venerable Guiseppe Meazza Stadium.
We are looking forward to it.
Update from October 21, 7:57 p.m.:
The team lineups are there!
Borussia will act with a back four and play in the proven 4-3-3.

Update from October 21, 7:33 p.m.:
The constellations will come in in just under half an hour.
Then we will find out whether both teams really - as suspected - come up with a chain of three.
Or whether they defend in a different system.
Let us surprise ourselves.
Update from October 21, 7:02 p.m.:
With all the euphoria and anticipation, you almost forget that Borussia will have a special debut in the
Champions League
.
For Marco Rose it is the first appearance in the premier class.
With RB Salzburg, the coach usually failed in a dramatic way.
Now he can prove his skills as a coach on the largest European football stage.
We are curious to see how Rose sends his boys to the field.

Gladbach at Inter Milan in the live ticker: Rose before CL debut - Corona shock at Inter
Update from October 21, 5.44 p.m.:
Not only Borussia from Mönchengladbach has to complain about a Corona-Fal (Jordan Beyer), Inter also has to do without a not entirely unimportant player.
Newcomer and ex-BVB star Achraf Hakimi was infected with COVID19 and is therefore missing in today's game against Gladbach.
Update from October 21, 4:51 p.m.:
In a few hours, Borussia will finally start again
among
the very big European clubs.
For two years, the Gladbach-based company only watched the Champions League in front of the television, and now they are finally back in the mix.
In the group opponents
Real Madrid
and
Inter Milan
, the team of coach
Marco Rose is
challenged from the first game.
The Italians in particular developed
into a real top European team
under
Antonio Conte
.
Last season they lost the final in the Europa League in a dramatic way against Sevilla FC.
Nevertheless, the Inter-Coach does not see his team as a favorite in the group.
"That we should be the favorites", said the former coach of Juventus and Chelsea: "makes me laugh."

of a
win

Inter is also struggling with corona infections *, the derby against
AC Milan
was about to be
canceled
after six failures at the
Nerazzurri

In the end, Inter lost 2-1 and screwed up the dress rehearsal before the premier class kick-off.
Is this a good omen for the Rose Troop?
