Real Madrid defeats Inter in Champions League as injuries plague Juventus

Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Inter in Champions League action following defensive errors from the Italian side. Goals from Kylian Mbappé and Federico Valverde proved decisive after mistakes by Bisseck and Josep Martinez handed the Spanish club an early lead. Carlos Augusto scored for Inter, but the team failed to complete a comeback despite persistent pressure. Meanwhile, Juventus faces a significant personnel crisis as Manuel Locatelli underwent meniscus surgery that will sideline him for five to six months. The club is also managing a biceps injury for Boga and long-term recoveries for Yildiz and Thuram. Juventus currently lacks viable options to replace the missing players as the team looks to move past this period of instability.
