Inter Club vs Red Stars

Internazionale are unbeaten across their last ten UEFA Champions League games at San Siro (W8 D2), eight of which have been accompanied by a clean sheet. The Italian side have never recorded a longer such streak in the competition before (since the format started in 1992-93).

Crvena Zvezda have now lost all ten of their away games in the UEFA Champions League. Only AEK Athens (15) and APOEL Nicosia (14) have ever played more away matches in the competition without managing a single victory.

In this match, Inter scored four goals in a single UCL match for the first time since defeating Viktoria Plzen 4-0 on home soil back in October 2022.

Internazionale and Crvena Zvezda have faced on two previous occasions in European competition, with the Italian side progressing 2-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals of the 1980-81 European Cup (drew 1-1 at home and won 1-0 away).

Including qualifiers, Crvena Zvezda haven’t won any of their last eight matches against Italian sides in European competition (D4 L4). Indeed, their last such victory came back in December 2005, in a 3-1 win versus Roma in the UEFA Cup group stages.

This will be only the second time this century that an Italian and Serbian side have faced each other in a UEFA Champions League campaign, after Napoli and Crvena Zvezda’s two meetings in the group stage in 2018-19 (Napoli won 3-1 at home and drew 0-0 away).

Internazionale are unbeaten in their last nine home games in the UEFA Champions League (W7 D2), while they last went 10 without defeat between February 2009 and November 2010 – a period within which they went on to lift the trophy in this competition (2-0 v Bayern Munich in the 2009-10 final).

Crvena Zvezda have lost all nine of their away games in the UEFA Champions League (since 1992-93), with only AEK Athens (15) and APOEL Nicosia (14) playing more away matches in the competition without managing a single victory.
