Champions League Kicks Off: Haaland and Mbappé Shine as Real Madrid Edge Past Inter
The Champions League returned for a new season, bringing with it the familiar mix of anthem, drama, and Bernabeu jeers. However, this season carries a notable change: for the first time in 13 years, Pep Guardiola is not involved in the competition.
Despite the shift, opening night offered plenty of familiar sights. Erling Haaland scored twice, while Kylian Mbappé also found the net. Jose Mourinho was seen on the touchline, watching intently.
Mourinho had reason to be satisfied with the result, as Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan. The performance, however, was far from convincing, leaving room for improvement as the competition progresses.
