Real Madrid overpowered Inter Milan (2-0) for the 6th and final day of the Champions League group stage, and sealed their qualification for the round of 16 as first in Group D. Liga, solid in the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti's team is rolling out! After a complicated start on the European scene, the Madrilenians ended the group stage with convincing success at home, their 9th in all competitions, thanks to two very nice goals. Toni Kroos opened the scoring with a cross strike from the left from 25 meters in the 17th, then Marco Asensio, entered in place of Rodrygo in the 78th, sealed the score with a superb curled strike from the left from his first ball a minute later, in the 79th, which touched the post before entering, leaving Handanovic in place.

Madrilenians as Milanese having already qualified for the round of 16, the only stake of this meeting was the fight for the first place of the group. And it was Real who consolidated their rank at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium. The Turinese had a few chances, like this long volley from Marcelo Brozovic who alerted Thibaut Courtois in the 7th minute, or this attempt by Nicolo Barella who saw his shot fly back from the locker room (46th ). The Italian European champion will also be expelled in the 63rd, for a punch given in the legs of Eder Militao when the Brazilian had just tackled him. But the Merengue dominated the game overall. In the absence of Karim Benzema, affected in the left leg on Saturday against Real Sociedad in La Liga (2-0), it is Luka Jovic whoreplaced in tip. And after his very successful entry into San Sebastián, the Serbian stood out again on Wednesday, with certainly a failed duel against Samir Handanovic (36th), but attractive details, especially his back to the goal.

The young Brazilian Rodrygo also had his chances just before the break: his point of the right hit the left upright of the Inter goalkeeper (44th), and in the process, his attempt in force of the right did not catch the framework.

And the score could have been even heavier, if Mariano Diaz had not missed the inevitable, alone against the open goal in the 83rd.

A miss that does not change the result: Real Ancelotti is gaining strength, and will find six years after the round of 16 of the queen of European competitions under the orders of the Italian.
