Inter Milan Prepares for Clash with Manchester City

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi insists that their upcoming Champions League clash against Manchester City is not a rematch of last year's final, emphasizing the new format and different circumstances surrounding the game. He expressed enthusiasm for the league phase's changes, where teams will play eight matches instead of a traditional group stage, but acknowledged the increased workload on players. Inzaghi is focused on maintaining a strategic rotation of his squad, as key players Federico Dimarco and Marko Arnautovic will be absent, and Lautaro Martinez will start on the bench due to fitness concerns. Despite the challenges, he believes Inter's past performance against City gives them hope, noting that they played well in the 2023 final and must replicate that style. He called for a determined mindset from his players, especially given City's formidable home record in the Champions League. Inzaghi aims for an aggressive approach to secure a strong performance against the reigning champions.
