The Champions League is back! After the winter break, today marks the start of the penultimate matchday of the single-group phase. Two Italian teams are on the field, both facing extremely delicate matches.
Inter needs to bounce back after defeats against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, which came in the first real challenges of the Nerazzurri’s European campaign. Tonight at San Siro, perhaps the toughest opponent arrives: Arsenal. The Gunners are dominating a historically balanced league like the Premier League and come to the Meazza as leaders in the Champions League as well.
In Denmark, meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s Napoli visits Copenhagen. In addition to the cold and an unfavorable standing, the Azzurri must also deal with many absences: the recent forfeits of Rrahmani and Politano have added to those of De Bruyne, Meret, Anguissa, and Gilmour. On the other hand, Lukaku has recovered and will be on the bench.
Let’s take a look at the official lineups.
Inter-Arsenal
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.
ARSENAL (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis Kelly; Eze, Zubimendi, Merino; Saka, Jesus, Trossard.
