The loanee from PSG, Nordi Mukiele, was not Bayer's starting player in the Champions League. But against Inter, Xabi Alonso put the Frenchman in the starting line-up to add reliability at the back. As a result, Mukiele scored the only goal in a difficult match and got his team important three points.
