That Inter XI is a bit of a risk against Manchester City. But for a side that has looked tired, rotation is definitely needed. And Inter would be thinking that they could win the other games and still go through. A bit of pragmatism.

That XI from Inter today is essentially a 2nd choice XI. To me, it looks like Inzaghi is being pragmatic. He knows that the squad is tired. Even if they lose today, they could win the next CL games and easily go through. They have looked tired this season.

Inter fans, taking over Manchester 🔥

Bologna have put in a pretty decent performance in their Champions League opener. Much better than what they've done in the entire season so far.

The atmosphere at the Etihad for the Man City - Inter game reminds you of a Serie C game. Not what you would associate with a game involving two favourites for the CL title and Inter fans are absolutely out-singing City fans. Pretty disappointing.

Inzaghi has so many players across the pitch who are flexible, can do different things on and off the ball. And they are so good at running from deep, dragging City apart. Italian managers from the 1999s will be so moved.

Inter have put in a pretty impressive showing against City here. Some really good movement in the final third, the midfield three moving really well in their typical malleable ways. Mid-block, narrow and constantly making those runs.

Inter get a well-deserved point from their trip to Manchester and Simone Inzaghi will be quite happy with the performance on show too. Some really positive signs with a second-fiddle side.

ATALANTA XI v Arsenal (3-4-3): Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, de Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Retegui, Lookman

Arsenal fans would notice Atalanta playing a pretty toned down version of their real style. Gasperini has learned to adapt over the seasons and it shows.

David Raya has made a sensational double save to deny Matteo Retegui. Saves a penalty and saves the follow up. Huge let off.

Arsenal and Atalanta play out a draw that La Dea could've won if Matteo Retegui had converted his penalty. Having said that, a draw doesn't do any harm to either side at all.

Matteo Retegui to Sky Italia on his penalty miss against Arsenal: "The goalkeeper made a great save, but on the rebound I made a mistake, I didn’t see him because he got up quickly." getfootballnewsitaly.com/2024/atalantas…
