MILAN – In collaboration with Opta, we bring you the need-to-know stats on Inter’s 2-0 Europa League defeat to Hapoel Be’er Sheva at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Thursday night.

Inter had never lost the first game of a Europa League group stage until last night. They drew with Rubin Kazan in 2012 and beat Dnipro in 2014.
Inter have now lost three consecutive European games – a first since September 2011.
Only three of Inter’s 20 attempted shots against Hapoel hit the target.
