🏆👉Inter win the Champions League Group Stage – Group C game against Viktoria Plzen on Wednesday 26 October 2022 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy. This victory gives Inter the certainty of qualifying for the Round of 16 of the Champions League with one round ahead of the end of the group. Inter are second with 10 points behind the almost unattainable Bayern Munich still with full points. Inter boasts a reassuring +3 on the Catalans, at a disadvantage in direct comparisons. Viktory Plzen are in fact the only ones still at 0 points among the 32 of the Champions League group stage together with Rangers, with whom Viktoria also shares the negative record of the worst defense (16 goals conceded), albeit with the mitigation of being been included in the most difficult group of the competition.
Inter are in the 2nd position with 10 points.
Inter opened the score in the 35th minute. Henrikh Mkhitaryan defeated Viktoria Plzen goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek with a headed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Alessandro Bastoni.

✅ Stats before the game. The only confrontation staged so far in Europe between Inter and Viktoria Plzen is the one that took place in the second round of the group stage of this Champions League, which ended with the Nerazzurri’s away victory 2-0. Viktoria Plzen have lost three of the four European away games played in Italy: the exception is in the partial, the 3-0 victory at Napoli, in February 2013, in the Europa League. The only Czech team to beat Inter in a European competition was Sparta Prague, in September 2016: 3-1 domestic success in the Europa League. Overall, the Nerazzurri have won six of the nine matches played in Europe against these opponents (2D, 1L). Inter are unbeaten in the three previous Champions League matches played against Czech teams (2W, 1D), even if the only home game played by the Nerazzurri ended in a draw (1-1), against Slavia Prague, in September 2019. Inter have lost only two of their last nine Champions League group stage matches (5W, 2D): one against Real Madrid (0-2, in December 2021), which then took the title last season. and the other against Bayern Munich (0-2 on the first day of this edition).
🏆👉 Lineup Inter (3-5-2): Onana; Skriniar, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez.
🏆👉 Lineup Viktoria Plzen (4-2-3-1): Stanek; Havel, Hejda, Pernica, Tijani; Bucha, Kalvach; Jirka, Vlkanova, Mosquera; Bassey.
