Beijing time (CEST), September 9: Following Inter Milan's 1-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the opening match of the Champions League group stage, Nerazzurri legend Bergomi commented on the match.

"In European competitions, you either play a 3-5-2 formation like Inter – which carries very high risk – or you don't use this system at all. Inter's style of play is both attractive and courageous, but it comes with high risk. Inter must maintain possession because once they lose the ball, they struggle to build attacks from deep, and this possession-based approach is prone to errors," Bergomi said.

"If you give Real Madrid space, they will make you pay for it. This was the decisive factor in the match. There were also other factors like the intense heat, individual mistakes, and team mentality. Inter has both strengths and weaknesses, and in European football, these weaknesses are magnified."

"In principle, Real Madrid had to pay a certain price due to missing players and changes, but in the first half, Inter successfully exploited Diouf's ability to shift play. I must especially praise his performance; if he continues developing like this, Inter will eventually have a player capable of beating defenders one-on-one, and he showed this particularly well. Carlos Augusto also delivered two quality crosses. Inter tried to stick to their style of play, but they could have done better with possession control and finishing. However, in European competitions, when facing strong counter-attacking teams, Inter often struggles."
