PlayStation® Player of the Match: Marko Arnautović (Inter)
“He changed Inter in the second half. Good movement between the lines, created chances and scored the only goal.”

After a tight opening period, this was a very convincing second-half display by Inter. The tie remains wide open but they created enough chances after the break to warrant taking a lead to the Spanish capital in three weeks’ time. Yann Sommer’s 21st clean sheet of the season underlines Inter’s defensive solidity, which is sure to stand them in good stead at Estadio Metropolitano.NYSC Portal
Alexandra Jonson, Atlético de Madrid reporter
Yet again Atlético struggle away from home in Europe. It was overall a fairly balanced game, but Inter did show more creativity throughout. Simeone’s side will be thankful to trail by only one goal, having failed to create anything of note at San Siro. They will be relieved that everything is still to play for.

Simone Inzaghi, Inter coach: “This match leaves us with good feelings for the extraordinary performance of the lads against a great opponent. We regret having won with just one goal because it will be an intense match in Madrid. I’m happy for Arnautović, he’s working very well.”
