THE TNT SPORTS EXPERTS REACT TO THE GOALLESS DRAW AT THE ETIHAD
JOELON LESCOTT: "It was not as free-flowing as we have grown accustomed to seeing Manchester City play, but you have to respect Inter Milan and respect that teams can be as good defensively as Man City are offensively and that was the case here tonight."
RIO FERDINAND ON GUNDOGAN'S LATE CHANCES: "This guy always gets opportunities. He's experienced and great at running and arriving in the box. It just didn't fall for him, maybe luck wasn't on his side.
"But I think you have to give huge respect to this Inter Milan team...."
KAREN CARNEY: 'I thought Inter were class."
She added: "It was a fair result for both teams in the end."

HAALAND AND MAN CITY THWARTED BY IMPRESSIVE INTER
Manchester City endured a night of frustration as Pep Guardiola’s side opened their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw at home to Inter Milan.
Simone Inzaghi’s Serie A champions proved a tough nut to crack as Erling Haaland’s quest to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo’s record as the quickest man to score 100 goals for a club (in 105 games) remains in the balance.
Indeed, the Norwegian has been in imperious form this season but his 104th match in a Citizens shirt was ultimately an unfulfilling one and he remains stuck on 99 as the visitors deservedly took a share of the spoils.
It could have been an even better night for the Nerazzurri, but they lacked the finish to cap a series of excellent counter attacks with Marcus Thuram, Matteo Darmian and former Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan all wasting good openings.
City were subdued against an excellent Inter rearguard with substitutes Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan going closest for the hosts, who also saw Kevin de Bruyne replaced at the interval with a worrying injury ahead of the weekend.
Next up, Man City turn their focus to a top of the table clash at home to Arsenal on Sunday. Inter face neighbours AC Milan in Serie A.
