Champions League: Inter 0-2 Real Madrid - Los Blancos defeat Nerazzurri for the first time in Milan
Real Madrid have beaten Inter in Milan for the first time, and - thanks in no small part to Arturo Vidal's first-half red card - it has been a comfortable night for Los Blancos.

It wasn't just down to their numerical advantage, though; Madrid played very well both before and after Vidal's sending-off, and come away with an impressive victory that serves to open up their path to qualification from Champions League Group B.

Having started the night third in the group, Zinedine Zidane's men now sit second, three points ahead of Shakhtar in third - and will guarantee their place in the last 16 with a win over the Ukrainians next time out.

Meanwhile, Inter find themselves five points adrift of the top two and all but out. Barring a miracle, this'll be the third season in a row that the Nerazzurri have been eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage. as
