Inter kick-started their Champions League redemption story with a 2-0 win against Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena, thanks to Marcus Thuram’s double.
The Nerazzurri were hammered 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in last season’s final, while they have made an underwhelming start to their Serie A campaign.
But Cristian Chivu’s team claimed a much-needed win in Amsterdam on Wednesday, with Thuram the star of the show.
Inter thought they had a penalty in the 35th minute, only for a VAR review to penalise Thuram for a foul on Youri Baas.
Ajax were presented with a golden opportunity to seize the advantage in the 40th minute, when Mika Godts was put through one-on-one with Yann Sommer, but the Swiss shot-stopper stood firm to deny the Belgian forward.
