Match Previews

Returned to winning ways with a 4-2 come-back home win over Torino. Host Real Madrid without Pinamonti, Brozovic, Kolarov, Padelli and Vecino. Sensi returns.

Failed to play for a bit more than a half-time against Torino and woke up only after going 2 goals down. Then, managed to overturn the result and ended up dominating.

Lukaku scored a brace and set his foot also in the other goals. Martinez came on and led the charge. Sanchez started badly but redeemed himself, scoring and assisting. Young was outplayed by Singo and caused penalty kick.

Set end to a 4-game winless run overall. Had not scored more than 2 since late September. Conceded at least 2 for the 7th time in 11. Will be hosting Real Madrid, having won 1, drawn 2 and lost 1 at home, with 9 goals scored and 9 conceded overall, all competitions considered.

Are still to win first Champions League game, having drawn 2 and lost 1 so far. A further defeat could seriously jeopardise their future in the competition.

Sensi is back with the group. Pinamonti is recovering from physical issues and should be out.

Kolarov, Brozovic and Padelli are dealing with Covid 19.

Vecino and Padelli are ineligible.

Vidal is one yellow card away from suspension.

Young should prevail over Perisic and Darmian on the left.

Inter hosted Real Madrid 8 times: they won 6 and drew 2. Overall, they scored 15 goals and conceded 5. They won the last 3, scoring at least 2 goals in all of them.

The positive aspect is the reaction that took place, the fury that we then demonstrated. We need to have more desire and fire within us, it's my job to feed it in each of the players. We must understand that in addition to the qualities, we must put something on the level of fury and determination.

Today we created a very offensive situation in order to resume the match, with three strikers, Lukaku, Sanchez, Lautaro, two midfielders like Vidal and Barella, two wings in fact like Hakimi and Perisic, therefore with total traction.

For us this represents a final, also because after the defeat in the first leg and the two previous draws we don't have many ways out.

Is there any chance that Sanchez can play from the start with Lautaro and Lukaku? "It could be a solution more in the game in progress or if you play with lower-level teams than Inter. We are already a fairly offensive team, with winger who are more than wingers. We have midfielders with much more offensive than defensive characteristics, three forwards they would be very difficult to bear. "
