Inter Milan secured their first Champions League win of the season by defeating Red Star Belgrade 4-0. Mehdi Taremi was instrumental, scoring once and assisting twice. This victory followed a goalless draw against Manchester City. Hakan Calhanoglu opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick, leaving Red Star's goalkeeper Omri Glazer helpless.

Inter had two goals disallowed in the first half due to offside calls against Marko Arnautovic and Denzel Dumfries. Henrikh Mkhitaryan also missed a close-range opportunity. Inter doubled their lead when Taremi intercepted Rade Krunic's pass and set up Arnautovic for a goal from 10 yards out.

Lautaro Martinez came off the bench to score Inter's third goal, assisted by Taremi again. Later, Taremi scored from the penalty spot after Vanja Drkusic fouled Martinez. Inter will face Young Boys next on October 23, while Red Star will play Monaco a day earlier.

While Taremi shone brightly for Inter, Lautaro Martinez also made headlines by nearing a club milestone with his goal as a substitute. With this goal, Martinez matched Julio Cruz's record of 13 Champions League goals for Inter. Only Adriano has scored more for the club in this competition, with 14 goals.

This performance highlights Inter's attacking prowess and sets them up positively for their upcoming matches. The team's ability to convert opportunities into goals will be crucial as they continue their Champions League campaign.
