Inter Milan 1 – Bayern Munich 2
Inter welcomed Bayern to the San Siro for the opening game of the season looking to begin the start on a high and eradicate the memories of the end of last season when the absence of goalkeeper and captain Musso saw the season end in double disappointment with a 6th placed league finish lower than hoped for following a defeat in the final match of the season, this was then followed by defeat by Paris St Germain in the EFL Cup final, despite beating them twice in the league.
New signing Jhon Duran started on the bench for Inter, while new Bayern manager Ant Harris included his auction signing Nico Paz from the outset.
Inter got off to the worst possible start as Gnonto put the visitors into the lead with a long range strike that eluded Musso in the Inter goal.
Inter made 2 changes on the hour mark with Duran and Abada replacing Coman and Paqueta behind striker Gnabry and this had an immediate impact, Wharton getting his second assist of the game as he put it on a plate for Lukeba to get a second for Bayern.
This prompted Bayern to close up and try to secure the 3 points but with twenty minutes to go Inter defender Wijndal got his side onto the scoresheet with a curling effort that evaded Verbruggen in the Bayern goal. Unfortunately it proved to be too little too late and Bayern held on to take all 3 points.
Good game Ant, good luck for the rest of the season.
