Overview
- Inter defeated Feyenoord 3-0 on Tuesday, with Yann Bisseck scoring in the 8th minute, Pio Esposito heading in at 34', and Piotr Zielinski finishing from distance in the 54th minute.
- Feyenoord started the youngest Champions League XI in club history because Jeremiah St. Juste was injured and Tsuyoshi Watanabe was not fully fit, a selection Giovanni van Bronckhorst defended after the match.
- Play was briefly halted when fireworks were launched into De Kuip from outside the stadium, and a late Inter goal was ruled out for offside.
- Feyenoord’s academy provided a contrast to the first team as the Under-19s beat Inter 3-1 for a fourth straight Youth League win, keeping their perfect record in the competition.
- The result leaves Feyenoord on three points from four group games, raises the importance of the forthcoming home match with FC Porto, and drew strong praise in Italian media for Inter’s experience and physicality.
