Real Madrid beat Inter Milan to kick off Mourinho tenure with a win

Real Madrid achieved a victory over Inter Milan with a score of 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu. This highly anticipated match marked the beginning of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League league phase.

The match held particular importance for manager José Mourinho, who faced his former team in his second stint at Real Madrid, a club he famously led to a treble in 2010.

Real Madrid's win was facilitated by crucial defensive errors from their rivals. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, followed by Federico Valverde, who doubled the lead in the 23rd minute after taking advantage of a clearance blunder by Inter's goalkeeper, Josep Martínez.

In response, Cristian Chivu's squad adjusted their tactics and maintained possession for prolonged periods. Their efforts paid off when Carlos Augusto scored in the 77th minute, with an assist from Lautaro Martínez's cross.

Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper for Real Madrid, made several outstanding saves, including a crucial stop against a deflected shot from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, ensuring his team claimed all three points.

Sports analysts have remarked on José Mourinho's Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Inter Milan, highlighting the exciting drama, defensive errors, and the fact that Inter dominated significant stretches of the match despite the defeat.

Commentators noted that José Mourinho himself referred to the match as "a crazy game," reflecting a level of disorder he did not entirely appreciate, even as his team celebrated their victory.
