The latest news regarding the team, the club and the events being held. Like Inter, Mönchengladbach enters this midweek clash off the back off a heavy victory in league play, a thrashing of bottom side Schalke.

That leaves Mönchengladbach in 7th with 15 points in the Bundesliga table after nine rounds. Third is just three points away, so Borussia is very much in the thick of things in Germany.

For contrast, Inter has twenty-three goals scored and thirteen conceded. Zakaria is normally a central midfielder, but he's slotted in at centre-back alongside Ginter here.

De Vrij gets a foot on it to clear, but it loops up and only just goes wide of the post. Gladbach should be in front.

Stindl curls an out-swinging corner from the right into the middle and finds Thuram, who has found some space from his marker.

The France international has a free header from eight yards out but glances it wide of the far post. He holds his head in anguish - he knows he could have done better there.

They've improved as the half as gone on, but Inter look very dangerous on the break. It's been coming and is no less than Gladbach deserve.

Lazaro, who has been excellent so far, bends a cross from the right towards the far post, where the unmarked Plea has a free header. The Frenchman makes no mistake from six yards.

Young has the chance to go past Lazaro but the English wing-back's left-footed touch is poor, which both breaks down Inter's attack and gifts Gladbach possession.

Zakaria's first involvement sees him chase down Gagliardini, with the help of Lazaro, and usher the Inter midfielder away from Sommer's goal before he can attempt to cross towards Lukaku.

Both sides are back out and the referee gets the second half of this Champions League fixture underway! Zakari replaces Jantschke at half-time, whether for tactical reasons or an injury is unclear as of yet.

Before the 46th minute, the Italian side would probably have been happy with their first-half efforts, until Plea and Lazaro combined to peg them back.

Looking ahead to the second half, both managers will likely be asking for more of the same, and if the hosts continue to be so intent on pressing then we should expect to see more chances falling to Lukaku and Martinez on the counter-attack.

Conte's men initially took the lead, courtesy of Darmian's driven effort past Sommer from inside the area. However, the teams go in at the break, due to Plea's equaliser on the stroke of half-time, in which the French forward powered a header past the powerless Handanovic from close range.

Lazaro reaches the byline before crossing deep towards the back post with his right foot and finds Plea, who equalises for the hosts. Plea is completely unmarked at the back post and heads downwards past Handanovic from near the six-yard area to level the scores.

Lazaro did well down the right to peel off before standing up a cross towards the Frenchman at the back post. The fourth official indicates there will be at least one minute of added time as Skriniar is forced into scuffing a left-footed clearance inside the area under the pressure of Plea.

The hosts feel they should have a penalty as Stindl falls to the floor under the challenge of Bastoni, however, the referee shakes his head and demands play goes on.

Jantschke does well to come flying across, slide tackling Young's pass out of play as Martinez looked to counter-attack near the left-hand touchline.

Without the centre-back's tackle, Inter's striker would have had tons of space to attack into. Conte's vocal encouragement can be heard loud and clear inside the empty German stadium, which comes as no surprise, given his side's successful first-half performance so far.

Martinez rolls in Lukaku as the striker looks to return the favour to his partner. Surprisingly, the Belgian cannot sort his feet out quickly enough inside the area, which allows Gladbach to intervene.

Inter have never lost three consecutive Champions League group stage matches and have only lost three in a single campaign once previously, losing three last season.

Martinez looks to be one-on-one with Sommer after a long pass over the top, however, the goalkeeper is alert to the chance and comes rushing out to collect possession before the Argentine can capitalise.

Lainer comes in on his left foot on the edge of the area and drives an effort towards the back post, which Handanovic parries wide.

Moments later, the goalkeeper produces another good save, diving low to his left to deny Thuram's left-footed strike.

Barella makes a forward run into the box but Brozovic's attempt at chipped left-footed pass is poor and Gladbach intercept.

Lukaku goes round two Gladbach players before slotting in Martinez. He was a tad sloppy early, but his play late in the match to hold up the ball and waste time at was the mark of a maturing defender.

Darmian - 7: Scoring the first goal and playing well in an advanced role exemplified the solid work he has put in so far at Inter.

He earned this start after shutting down Boga on the weekend and did not disappoint. Subbed part of the way through the second half to freshen up the right side with Hakimi, but not as a mark on his performance.

Barella - 6. Brozovic - 7. He offered an outlet for distribution in the midfield and contributed to the solid defensive phase in the middle of the park.

He was crucial in the second Inter goal, providing the assist for Lukaku. More of this version of Brozo, please. Gagliardini - 7: Back to back impressive performances.
