Inter defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in their Champions League group stage match at the San Siro, with the nerazzurri scoring done by Lautaro Martinez and Antonio Candrevea. The points are crucial for Inter to advance the stage, and afterwards, coach Antonio Conte described what it meant:
"These three points are important. Borussia Dortmund changed defensive systems, apparently because our attack concerned them. It wasn't easy to win, and our situation isn't easy, with several injured. We know that we are not favorites, but the only way to remain alive is to win. And we did it convincingly. They are devastating in open space and we adapted a solution to counter it. Esposito? I wouldn't have played him if I didn't believe in him. Barella is an exuberant player, and when he received a yellow after 10 minutes in the second half I was a bit anxous, but that comes with that type of player."
