UEFA Champions League Matchday 1 fixtures (18th - 19th Sep 2018) | Kick off @ 17:55 and 20:00 BST

What a goal that would've been.
 
Feck me Inter are proper frauds. Spalletti, Nainggolan, Brozovic, Vecino, even Icardi deserve no place in the CL. That is not even Europa League level what they are showing. Spurs are very bad and Inter are at home, but that is literally a no show from them. I would have expected much more for the first game back in CL for years. Why are the players not fired up? Why do they have no playmaker? Why is Spalletti such a useless coach?

Maybe Spalletti gives the "football heritage" speech after the game. Just little Inter with 3 Champions League wins and 18 league titles against mighty Spurs and their big experience.
 
That Inter team has the likes of Skriniar, Miranda, Perisic, Nainggolan and Icardi. That is a strong spine to have but they've started the season slow haven't they?


I guess that depends who you ask. We tend to overrate teams and players at times. Inter look like a very average PL side. No better then Everton.

Yes, Skriniar is one of those names who keeps being mentioned in possible Utd CB's, but looking good in pedestrian Italy doesn't mean you can cope with the tempo of a PL contest. Looks a slug frankly. Miranda is nothing special, Perisic is inconsistent even at his best, Naingollan without the tats would be playing for West Brom and Icardi can't do it by himself.
 
Inter don't look great. I think Spurs will be ok in this group.

Skriniar is having a mare. He looks totally lost. Shouldnt matter that he is on RB.
 
When did he get a red card?

Last season again Madrid when they got eliminated.

BTW, could Suarez be more terrible? He's just been awful all season and most of last as well. Between him and Alexis Sanchez, I don't know who's more finished.
 
This isn’t making Serie A look great tonight. West Ham could probably beat this lot.
 
Dembouz!!!!!

What skill and a goal, magnifique!
 
MOTM performance from Dembele.

Outside of Juve Italy has been a wasteland for years. Napoli got some hype for their style of play but have never made an impact.

Makes me wary about buying players from there, it is such a different tempo and what works in Italy will often not work in the PL.
 
What a pointless sending off :lol:
 
Umtiti off.

Body checks the opposition but puts his hands up as if he’s innocent. Jesus, come onnnn, not fooling anyone
