The magic from Taremi, the passion from Lautaro and the Nerazzurri numbers: the stats from Inter vs. Crvena Zvezda | OneFootball

An extraordinary display in a perfectly executed game plan. Inter beat Crvena Zvezda 4-0 at San Siro on match day two of the Champions League 2024/25. The first win of the season in this European competition highlights different considerations and some interesting points:

NERAZZURRO WINNING STREAK

The start to the season for the Nerazzurri in the Champions League has definitely been positive with four points in two matches. Inter remains unbeaten in the last ten home matches in the Champions League and there's not been a streak this long at home since February 2009 and November 2010.

Toro is the driving force

An exciting and magical night for Lautaro Martinez. The Inter captain put his mark on the match against the Serbian side proving once again his sense of belonging and extraordinary statistics. The Inter Number 10 went to embrace the fans after scoring and then did the same at the end of the game with Diego Milito, the special guest.

The Toro became the second player to have scored in six different seasons for Inter in the Champions League, after Julio Cruz and has reached the same level as Cruz in the rankings for all time leading scorers in the Champions League: 13 goals, just behind Adriano who's on 14.

TAREMI MAGIC

One goal and two assists, a match played with intensity and tactical intelligence. Mehdi Taremi was without a doubt one of the main characters in the clash against Crvena Zvezda. The Inter forward achieved his dream of scoring his first Inter goal as he converted a penalty, proving to be an essential part of Simone Inzaghi's team.

CALHA'S FIRST

His talent has become indispensable for Simone Inzaghi's side. As well as a good record from the spot, Hakan Çalhanoglu scored his first direct free kick in the Champions League against Crvena Zvezda.

ARNAUTOVIC'S NUMBERS

A magical night and convincing display from Marko Arnautovic. The Inter number 8 has three goals in his last four appearances in the Champions League, one more than he had produced in the previous six. The Inter forward is second in terms of the rankings of most Champions League goals by Austrian players, David Alaba is first.
