Seventeen attempts on the opposing goal occurred only in the first half of the match against PSV at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven when the Nerazzurri defeated the reigning Dutch champions.

This has never occurred in Inter’s Champions League history, including the epic treble win where the Champions League trophy was brought to Milano, but happened in the first 45 minutes in the match against PSV Eindhoven.

From kick-off until the half time interval Luciano Spalletti’s team proved to be more eager than ever to hit the back of the net. The total number of the shots on goal over the course of ninety minutes amounted up to 24, something the Nerazzurri have not been able to do in Europe since November 2010, during their match against another Dutch side, namely Twente.

Goals from Nainggolan and Icardi helped secure the three points for Inter that put them joint top of the group alongside Barcelona on six points each with Tottenham and PSV on Zero.
