Inter arrived on a run of three straight wins and ten consecutive matches with at least one goal scored, but this defeat brought that scoring streak and winning run to an end. Real Madrid seized control early on matchday one of the UEFA Champions League on 8 September 2026, as K. Mbappe opened the scoring in the 14th minute following an assist from B. Diaz. F. Valverde then doubled the advantage in the 23rd minute. Despite holding sixty-four percent possession and registering twenty-one shots, Inter could only respond through Carlos Augusto, who converted in the 77th minute with an assist from L. Martinez to set the final score at two to one. B. Diaz earned an 8.5 rating for Real Madrid, while Josep Martínez and Carlos Augusto both received 7.5 ratings for Inter.
Real Madrid reached this fixture after a mixed sequence of domestic results that included a loss away at Real Betis alongside four victories, most recently a four-nil home win against Málaga. Inter entered the contest carrying an unbeaten run across their past five outings, a sequence featuring a three-two home victory over Napoli and a three-three draw away at Bologna.
This result leaves the table led by Manchester City on three points among the twelve teams, with Inter sitting three points behind the leaders. Real Madrid next play at home to Rayo Vallecano on 12 September.
