Martinez double at Udinese fires Inter level with Serie A leaders

Lautaro Martinez struck his first goals of the season for Inter Milan with a brace in Saturday's 3-2 win at Udinese which moved the champions level with Torino and local rivals AC Milan at the top of Serie A. Davide Frattesi's deft finish after just 43 seconds was followed by Argentina forward Martinez's strikes moments before and after half-time. The win in Udine saw Inter bounce back from Milan derby defeat last weekend and move up to 11 points after six matches. Torino, who host Lazio on Sunday, currently hold top spot by virtue of second-placed Milan and Inter having played a game more. "After the derby we kept quiet and worked hard and I think you saw that on the pitch," said Martinez to DAZN.

Fonseca on Milan derby win: “We played with the same structure”

Man City blunted by ‘giant performance’ Inter in Champions League stalemate

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi praised his team's "giant performance" after holding Manchester City to a 0-0 draw in their Champions League opener. The expanded tournament format, designed to pit Europe’s top clubs against each other more frequently, saw both sides start their campaigns with a hard-fought stalemate. Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi said the Italian champions produced a "giant performance" to leave Manchester City frustrated in a 0-0 draw to begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday. One of the selling points of the new expanded Champions League format was to bring together the continent's elite teams more often before the knockout stage. A repeat of the 2023 final, won 1-0 by City, did little to set the pulses racing, but Inter will feel they should have inflict...

Nesta: ‘I would have signed up for a draw against Inter before the match’

Alessandro Nesta expressed mixed feelings after Monza’s 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in Serie A. The Monza coach was pleased with his team’s performance but admitted there was a tinge of regret given how close they came to victory. “I’m happy with the performance because the players are committed,” Nesta said in his post-match interview. “If someone had told me before the match that we would draw 1-1 with Inter, I would have signed for it, even though there’s obviously some disappointment. I see the team improving and I’m confident.” Nesta felt Inter’s equalizer had an element of luck to it: “Their goal was a bit fortuitous because if the cross hadn’t been deflected, the ball wouldn’t have ended up there. The players were unlucky.” The coach also explained his limited use of substitution...

Reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan have thrashed Atalanta 4-0 in the league thanks to a double from Marcus Thuram.

Darmian and Calhanoglu score as Inter sail past harmless Lecce

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez probably picked the best possible match to miss through injury as his teammates sailed to a comfortable 2-0 win over a timid Lecce side in their Serie A Matchday 2 fixture at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. As a sell-out crowd of 70,921 fans welcomed the champions back home for the new season, Matteo Darmian was the one who gave his side an early lead that allowed the Nerazzurri to control the first half with ease. Hakan Calhanoglu converted a penalty to double Inter‘s advantage in the second half, sealing an effortless victory. It was important for Simone Inzaghi to silence his doubters after their slip-up at Genoa in the season opener, albeit with a much sterner test to come next week against Atalanta.

Lautaro Martinez doubtful for Inter’s clash with Lecce

Inter Milan and manager Simone Inzaghi have received concerning news ahead of their second Serie A match against Lecce. Team captain Lautaro Martinez is experiencing muscle fatigue and is now doubtful for the upcoming fixture.

Martinez’s absence, if confirmed, would be a significant blow to the team’s attacking prowess. The coaching staff will now have to consider alternat...
