The Conventional Playmaker previously covered Inter’s transfer activity and tactics

It was a highly anticipated contest of 3-5-2 systems, fought between Inter Milan, and Atletico Madrid. Ironically, the match remaining goalless until the 79th minute did not deflate the spectacle, though Mario Arnautovic’s deflected winner ultimately gave Inter a deserved advantage going into the Champions League Round of 16 second-leg, and prolongs the discussion of Inter as the most functional side in Europe.
