And a key part of Inter’s win against Bayern was that they scored in the first half.

Scoring first was always going to have a huge impact on the momentum, whichever team did it.

And that goal gave Inter Milan something to protect. As well as real self-belief in the tie.

Bayern did manage to score late in the match. But by that point, Inter had firmly established themselves, and frustrated the Bavarians – a platform for Davide Frattesi’s late winner.

And it was not the first time that Inter have scored the first goal in a Champions League match this season.

Or that it has come in the first half of a match.

That was in a loss away to Bayern Munich.
