Real Madrid started their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in their opening match.

Portuguese coach José Mourinho secured a brilliant win against his former club Inter in his first match of his new tenure at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Kylian Mbappé and Federico Valverde scored the goals for Real.

Both teams played aggressive football from the very beginning of the match.

However, Real took the lead in the 14th minute by capitalizing on a defensive error by Inter.

Yann Bisseck was put under pressure by a weak pass from Curtis Jones.

Seizing the opportunity, Brahim Díaz intercepted the ball and passed it to Mbappé.

Receiving the ball, the French forward found the back of the net with a superb finish.

Before the celebration of the first goal could fade, Real doubled their lead.

Taking advantage of the time Inter goalkeeper Josep Martínez spent with the ball at his feet inside his own box, Valverde put him under pressure.

The Uruguayan midfielder snatched the ball and poked it into an empty net, giving the hosts a 2-0 lead by halftime.

In the second half, Cristian Chivu's Inter Milan became desperate to reduce the deficit.

In the 77th minute, Carlos Augusto scored with a powerful shot from a wonderful cross by Lautaro Martínez, raising hopes of a comeback for the Italian club.

Towards the end, Inter launched multiple attacks to find an equalizer.

However, Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois secured the team's victory with a few brilliant saves.

At the very last moment, he denied Henrikh Mkhitaryan's certain goal-bound shot to preserve all three points for Real.

Ultimately, Real Madrid kicked off their Champions League campaign on a winning note with a 2-1 victory.
