Inter Milan embrace San Siro and the Champions League again

After Udine win, Chivu relies on his strongest XI to chase a top-eight spot in Europe

Following a hard-earned victory in Udine, Inter Milan return to San Siro and shift their focus back to the Champions League, with a clear objective: securing a place among the top eight teams in Europe. 

Such a finish would guarantee direct qualification to the round of 16, a crucial step in the club’s continental ambitions.

The challenge, however, is anything but simple. Awaiting Inter Milan at the Meazza is Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta and flying high at the top of the Premier League standings.

The Thu-La partnership returns as Inter Milan go all in

For this high-stakes European night, Cristian Chivu is expected to rely on his most trusted players. 

In attack, the Thu-La partnership of Thuram and Lautaro Martínez is set to return, despite the encouraging performance recently delivered by Pio Esposito.

Elsewhere, continuity is the guiding principle, with Chivu opting for stability and experience across the pitch.

Probable Inter Milan line-up (3-5-2):
Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martínez.

With San Siro ready to roar and a European heavyweight in town, Inter Milan look to combine solidity and ambition in their pursuit of a place among Europe’s elite.
