Bet on Alaba
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti relied on a method of play (4-3-3), but he modified the defensive line with the return of David Alaba.
Al-Merengi scored his first 3 points in his favorite competition, to start the journey of fighting to regain the most expensive European cups.
And he included the Italian Alaba as a defensive center alongside Eder Militao, while he put Nacho Fernandez as a left back, and it was one of the most wrong decisions, because Nacho appeared slow and did not provide the addition offensively, and he could not keep up with the Nerazzurri strikers.
Ancelotti decided not to pay the young Gutierrez, despite his appearance well recently, and also involved the absent Vazquez for a while at the expense of Hazard, who began to restore the rhythm of matches.
In the midfield, the impact of Toni Kroos' absence appeared, with weakness in pressure, possession and control of play, as well as the fatigue of Casemiro and Valverde after their long trips with their national teams during the international break, and the royal appeared very conservative in the first half.

On the other hand, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi relied on a (3-5-2) method, with Darmian and Perisic as parties to the offensive pressure alongside Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez.
And the good organization of the Nerazzurri appeared in the midfield, which allowed them to take possession of the ball, put pressure on Meringue in his area, and supply the attack with dangerous balls, had it not been for the brilliance of Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois, and the Italians were only missing the final touch to progress.
Ancelotti was late in making the changes, as he tried to activate the right side by pushing Rodrigo instead of Vazquez, and also involved newcomer Camavinga instead of Modric in the midfield.
Duplicate scenario
Real Madrid took advantage of Inter Milan's decline in the second half, trying to pressure and snatching a goal in the last minutes, and actually succeeded in achieving his goal, as Camavinga made the ball for Rodrygo, who netted it.
The scenario of confronting the two teams was repeated last season, when Zinedine Zidane pushed Rodrigo as a substitute and scored the winning goal in the match that ended for Meringue (2-3).
