Inter strikes 1st blow in CL fight for 2nd with Barcelona

Associated Press  

MILAN — It’s advantage Inter Milan in what has been billed the fight for second spot in Group C. Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored the only goal of the match in first-half stoppage time as Inter beat Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday to move second behind Bayern Munich, which seems set to run away with the group. Barcelona topped the Spanish league table after winning its previous six league matches, while Inter had lost four of its last six Serie A games to leave coach Simone Inzaghi under pressure. Some of that pressure will have been removed with Inter’s first win over Barcelona since its 3-1 Champions League semifinal victory in 2010, on the Nerazzurri’s way to the treble under José Mourinho. Inter thought it should have got a penalty midway through the first half for a handball by Barcelona defender Eric García but play was waved on and, after reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, referee Slavko Vinčić decided that Nerazzurri forward Lautaro Martínez had been offside in the buildup and interfering with play despite not touching the ball.
