UCL: Inter Show Italian Class in Rotterdam

Inter Milan made a powerful statement in the Champions League, cruising to a commanding 3-0 away victory over Feyenoord at De Kuip in Rotterdam. Coming off a painful derby defeat against AC Milan and a difficult start to their European campaign, Christian Chivu’s side responded in style despite significant injury problems.
The Nerazzurri struck early, taking the lead in the eighth minute after their aggressive high press paid off. Yann Bisseck finished clinically to score his first goal in the Champions League, giving the visitors the perfect start and putting Feyenoord under immediate pressure.
Inter tightened their grip on the contest after the break. Francesco Pio Esposito doubled the advantage with a header, meeting a cross from Djed Spence, before Piotr Zieliński sealed the emphatic victory with a powerful long-range strike.
