Inter Milan traveled to Germany to take on the country’s Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent and fifth Champions’ League group game and eventually emerged 2-3 winners.

Inter Milan were able to keep the Champions League dream alive for the 2020-21 campaign after a 3-2 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The game could have gone very different had it not been for second-half goals from Romelu Lukaku. Matteo Darmian provided Inter with a lead after just 17 minutes, but the German outfit managed to level the scores just before half-time through Plea. After half-time, Inter had a difficult time and they were even let down by Ashley Young missing the goal from just 2 yards out. This was a horrendous miss for the 35-year-old, who has been deployed in various positions by the manager.


Lukaku, however, rescued Inter with a brace in the span of 10 minutes. As a result of the victory, Inter will be going into the next match as the group leaders. They are still fighting to become the winner of the group and qualify the knockout stages. However, a win against Shakhtar Donetsk in the final group match may not be sufficient to guarantee this status, as the group has been very tight. Inter also need the match between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Real Madrid to go in a favourable way so as to qualify as the group winners. This is due to the poor head-to-head record that Inter have in comparison with Madrid.

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has claimed that Romelu Lukaku has the potential to improve a lot more from his current standards. Even though Juventus were in a transitional period, few expected Inter Milan to come up with the title challenge as they have done this season. Even though Conte was not able to lead Inter to title success this season, the club have come very close to winning a lot of admirers. One reason for Inter’s positive campaign would be the goals from Romelu Lukaku, who has been a hit since arriving from Manchester United.


Lukaku raised a few eyebrows when he sealed a move to Inter Milan for around €80 million. However, his signing has been very effective for the Italian outfit. Lukaku has been able to get 23 goals in just 34 league matches. Even though he is behind the likes of Ciro Immobile and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have scored in the 30s, the contribution from Lukaku is very impressive considering that this is his first season at the club. After having been used to the physical style of the English Premier league, Lukaku is undergoing a massive transformation in terms of style of play. Even with the goals he has scored so far, Conte feels that there is still more to come from the sticker.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has spoken about what are the differences in captaincy between former captain Ashley Young and reigning captain Harry Maguire. After the departure of Young to Inter Milan back in January, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to give Maguire the captaincy. After struggling for consistency in the first half of the campaign, United showed a lot of improvement after January. The club were even in the bottom half of the table at one point in the campaign, but they have been able to go through a remarkable 11 game unbeaten run that has put them within touching distance of Chelsea in the fourth place.

All these have earned him a great respect amongst his peers, which have helped him captain the squad.
