Real Madrid kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Inter Milan on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu. Mbappé scored in the 14th minute to reach 71 goals and match Raúl for fifth all-time, while Fede Valverde made it 2-0 after pouncing on the keeper's error.
Inter pulled one back late through Carlos Augusto, but Thibaut Courtois' key saves sealed the victory; Valverde and manager José Mourinho both insisted Courtois deserved Man of the Match. Before kickoff, fans waved Ceuta flags and chanted in support of the enclave amid migration pressures.
