Inter Milan Starts UEFA Champions League 2025-26 With a Bang
Inter Milan has kicked off the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 with a bang. The team, under the guidance of coach Cristian Chivu, has secured six points from their first two matches. Star striker Lautaro Martinez has played a pivotal role, scoring three braces and equalling a club record.
Inter Milan began their campaign with a solid 0-0 draw against Real Madrid. They followed this up with a resounding 3-0 victory over Slavia Praha. Martinez scored two goals in this match, with Denzel Dumfries also finding the net. This win was Inter's second consecutive clean sheet in the competition.
Martinez's impressive form has continued from last season. His three braces in the Champions League tie him with the most in Inter's history. Chivu, who took over as coach in June 2025, has overseen Martinez's goal-scoring exploits.
Inter Milan sits atop their Champions League group with six points from two matches. Lautaro Martinez's goal-scoring prowess, along with the team's solid defensive display, has been key to their strong start. With Chivu at the helm, Inter Milan looks set to challenge for top honours in Europe.
