Substitute, Marco Asensio added to the woes of the visitors when he curled in a beautiful strike into the far corner, signaling the end of the match for all intents and purposes and sealing Real’s spot at the top of Group D.
Inter Milan defender, Milan Skriniar faulted the way they moved the ball around without being decisive in the attack.
“We knew that it would be a tough game. We started out well, creating plenty of chances while moving the ball around well and combining as a team. Yet, if you don’t take your chances against a team like Real Madrid you’ll pay for it.
“We should’ve been more decisive in the first half hour, but I’m proud of this team. We came to Madrid to stand up to them and finish top of the group. Now we’ll think about the league; we need to keep up our good performances in Serie A.”
Meanwhile…
Real Madrid defender, David Alaba offered his thoughts at the full-time whistle believing his Real side has improved. Even if they had less time on the ball they are aware of their own threat.

“We’ve really improved over the last few months. We didn’t allow ourselves to become nervous and we always trusted in our quality and we showed that out there tonight.
Although we didn’t see that much of the bull, we know that we possess a real goal threat up top. We’re really pleased with this win.” Alaba said.
