As previously thought, Inter would take advantage of the home match to win in the first leg. Marko Arnautovic goal gave Inter Milan a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid, this result is certainly an important asset for Inter heading into the quarter-finals. Atletico were not able to do much in this match, Inter managed to lock them up with a very brilliant game. Inter's appearance this season is more competitive after reaching the Champions League Final last season. A performance like this is an important asset for Inter to win the UCL title, it is very realistic to be able to reach the final round again if they are able to maintain their performance.

A win is of course a strong position for the second game on March 13 in Madrid. It is a close result, so one goal from madrid and it is all ok again, so I expect Inter Milan to be very defensive and if Atletico risk more, Inter Milan will take the chance and get the ticket to the next round. I see them as one of the favorites to win the CL this year, they are not the best, but one of the best 3 teams in my opinion. Arnautovic scored such an important goal at the age of 34, and if you think about his stats, he has only played 8 games in the Champions league so far and scored 3 goals.

The second leg which will be held at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium will certainly be very exciting, the score of 1-0 in the first leg still does not determine whether Inter can qualify for the quarter-finals. Atletico will try to catch up with a one goal deficit and at the same time want to make a comeback to secure a ticket, but Atletico efforts will be difficult due to Inter Milan very strong defense. Inter have done the best job so far, it is difficult for Atletico to steal goal from Inter who are in their best form.
