Goals and blunders, in the end, Real Madrid celebrates after the 2-1 success against Inter. This was a special challenge for Jose Mourinho, with the Portuguese technician challenging his former team, but in the press conference, "The Special One" only caught up after full points, for him it was important to start the Champions League with a victory:
"I liked the result, 3 points against a very strong team. I think it was a spectacular match, a match that the fans enjoyed in the stadium and at home, but not me and Chivu. It could have been 5-0 for us, 5-5 or 6-5. They showed themselves to be good, with a good midfield defending down low. Mbappe? He worked hard, scored a very important goal for us. I don't worry about Mbappe at all, he will probably be the best scorer in the Champions League ," said Mourinho.
Despite his team being penalised for two fouls, Chivu did not appear worried at the press conference: "I am not upset with anyone, I am happy for the character and courage that my team showed, a team with personality. Mistakes are part of football, I am interested in the reaction, how we behave on the pitch and the fact that we believed until the end. I think we put in a good performance, we tried to dominate inside the 'Bernabeu'. This match makes me feel happy and confident for the future" , said Chivu.
In Spain the media celebrates, but not completely, as Mourinho clings to the result: “Test passed”, writes Marca. “Crazy victory”, was the main headline of AS. In Italy, the picture is different: “Victory alla Mourinho. Inter makes mistakes and wastes”, writes Corriere dello Sport . “Gift from Inter” , was the main headline of La Gazzetta dello Sport.
