Thuram’s Hat-Trick Powers Inter to Victory, Retegui Fires Atalanta to Win

By October 6, 2024 0

Marcus Thuram’s hat-trick propelled Inter Milan to a 3-2 victory over 10-man Torino on Saturday, propelling the reigning Serie A champions to within two points of league leaders Napoli.

Thuram’s first-half headers from Alessandro Bastoni and Francesco Acerbi gave Inter a commanding lead. However, Duvan Zapata pulled one back for Torino after poor defending by Yann Bisseck. Thuram restored Inter’s two-goal advantage with a bundled finish on the hour mark.

Hakan Calhanoglu’s late penalty gave Torino hope, but Inter held on for a crucial win. The victory keeps Inter in the title race and extends their winning streak to three matches in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Mateo Retegui’s hat-trick condemned his former club Genoa to a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Atalanta. Ederson and Marten de Roon also scored spectacular goals for Atalanta, who moved up to ninth in the standings.

Retegui opened the scoring in the 24th minute and doubled Atalanta’s lead five minutes after half-time. He completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot in the 74th minute.

Atalanta’s convincing win comes after another strong display in the Champions League, where they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0.

Inter Milan Crush Red Star Belgrade 4-0 in Champions League Opener

Inter Milan Crush Red Star Belgrade 4-0 in Champions League Opener

By October 2, 2024 0

Inter Milan kicked off their Champions League campaign with a resounding 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade at the San Siro on Tuesday. Hakan Calhanoglu’s stunning free-kick in the 11th minute set the tone for the match, as Inter dominated possession and created numerous chances.

Marko Arnautovic doubled the lead on the hour mark, rolling the ball into an empty net after Mehdi Taremi dispossessed Rade Krunic. Captain Lautaro Martinez added a third in the 71st minute, before winning the penalty that Taremi converted to complete the rout.

The win moved Inter into the top eight positions of the new league phase of the Champions League, which sees teams qualify directly for the last 16. It was a much-needed victory for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who had drawn their opening match against Manchester City.

Red Star, on the other hand, are in 32nd place after losing their first two matches. Coach Vladan Milojevic lamented his team’s error-strewn performance, saying, “We gave away four goals, I said after the Benfica game (lost 2-1) that we can’t concede those sorts of goals… when you make these kinds of errors you can’t do much else.”

Despite the arrests of leading figures within Inter and AC Milan’s hardcore ultras fan groups for a variety of crimes, the atmosphere in the Curva Nord section of the San Siro was electric. Inter’s fans roared their team on from the first minute, and the whole stadium was on its feet after Calhanoglu’s beautiful free-kick.

Inter continued to dominate proceedings, with Arnautovic and Denzel Dumfries both coming close to scoring. Henrikh Mkhitaryan also wasted two great chances to add to Inter’s lead, but it was Arnautovic who eventually doubled the advantage after Taremi robbed the ball from Krunic.

Red Star crumbled in the second half, and Martinez scored his third goal of the season after another fine assist from Taremi. Taremi was given a gift from his Argentine strike partner as thanks for his sterling work up front, which helped Inter secure a fine win.

Milan Stuns Inter with Late Derby Winner

Milan Stuns Inter with Late Derby Winner

By September 23, 2024 0

In a thrilling Serie A derby, AC Milan emerged victorious over Inter Milan with a dramatic late header from Matteo Gabbia. The 2-1 win snapped Inter’s six-match derby winning streak and propelled Milan out of their early season slump.

Milan started brightly and took the lead in the 10th minute through a brilliant individual effort from Christian Pulisic. However, Inter equalized just before the half-hour mark when Federico Dimarco converted a penalty.

In the second half, Milan dominated possession and created numerous chances. Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham both came close to scoring, but they were denied by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

With time running out, Milan earned a free-kick in a dangerous position. Tijjani Reijnders whipped in a perfect cross, and Gabbia rose highest to power a header into the net. The goal sent the Milan fans into raptures and sealed a memorable victory.

Meanwhile, Roma secured their first win of the season with a 3-0 triumph over Udinese. Artem Dovbyk, Paulo Dybala, and Tommaso Baldanzi scored the goals for the Giallorossi.

However, the match was overshadowed by protests from Roma fans over the shock sacking of Daniele De Rossi. Supporters hurled abuse at the team and left the Curva Sud section of the Olimpico empty for the first half hour.

Despite the off-field drama, Roma played with determination and secured a much-needed victory. They now sit 10th in the Serie A standings, while Udinese drop to third.

Champions League Goal Drought: 0-0 Draws Dominate Wednesday Night

Champions League Goal Drought: 0-0 Draws Dominate Wednesday Night

By September 19, 2024 0

The Champions League witnessed an uncharacteristically low-scoring night on Wednesday, with only 13 goals scored across six matches. This stark contrast followed a high-scoring Tuesday, where 28 goals were netted, including Bayern Munich’s impressive nine-goal haul.

The most notable goalless draw was between Manchester City and Inter Milan, a rematch of the 2023 final. This result marked the first time City failed to score at home in the Champions League since 2022. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Pep Guardiola’s team could not find a breakthrough.

Another 0-0 draw occurred between Bologna and Shakhtar Donetsk, adding to the unusual goal drought. Bologna, making their Champions League return after 60 years, played with attacking intent but were denied by Shakhtar’s goalkeeper.

Paris Saint-Germain also struggled to score against Girona, but a late error by goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga gifted them a 1-0 victory. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, needed late goals from substitutes Jamie Gittens and Serhou Guirassy to secure a 3-0 win over Club Brugge.

The new Champions League format has welcomed several new faces, including Sparta Prague, who made a strong debut with a 3-0 victory over Salzburg. Celtic also impressed with a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava, showcasing their attacking prowess.

Despite the low goal count on Wednesday, the Champions League continues to offer excitement and drama. The upcoming Thursday slate of matches promises more action, with Barcelona facing Monaco, Atalanta hosting Arsenal, and Bayer Leverkusen visiting Feyenoord.

Champions League Returns with Expanded Format, City Faces Inter Reunion

Champions League Returns with Expanded Format, City Faces Inter Reunion

By September 18, 2024 0

Manchester City is bracing for its Champions League reunion with Inter Milan in the opening round of an expanded tournament that will be “so tough” for the 2023 winner. Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Inter 1-0 in the final two seasons ago, with Rodri’s goal securing its first Champions League crown on a memorable night in Istanbul.

City defender Manuel Akanji is not a fan of the new format due to the increased burden it will place on players in a grueling season that will conclude with Guardiola’s men competing in the Club World Cup in the United States.

It will be intriguing to see how Guardiola navigates the pursuit of another European title and a fifth successive Premier League crown amid the financial breaches case that could plunge the club into turmoil.

Rodri played his first 45 minutes of the season against Brentford after a hamstring injury suffered in the Euro 2024 final victory against England. With England defenders John Stones and Kyle Walker also making their first starts this term, Guardiola is close to having all his stars available just in time for a hectic period.

For more than a decade, Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari owners have spent lavishly to attract big stars, but the Champions League crown remained a distant dream. The superstars have all now left the Parc des Princes, and it might sound paradoxical, but the club may be better equipped in its quest for continental glory.

Coach Luis Enrique insisted on molding what he had, and his project makes sense. Enrique asked for the recruitment of less-known but excellent players in every sector to create competition and have second options at every position. This could be even more crucial this season as the Champions League’s new format will see more teams playing more games. PSG starts on Wednesday against Spanish side Girona.

Borussia Dortmund, finalist last season, has undergone a summer of upheaval on and off the pitch ahead of Wednesday’s clash at Club Brugge. Dortmund’s unlikely run to last season’s final masked a poor domestic season. The result was a summer rebuild, with the club parting ways with Dortmund-born coach Edin Terzic and several regular players.

Guinea striker Serhou Guirassy and Germany center-back Waldemar Anton joined from Stuttgart, while German internationals Maximilian Beier and Pascal Gross have also signed for the club. The first European test comes at Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Napoli Soar, Inter Stumble in Serie A

Napoli Soar, Inter Stumble in Serie A

By September 16, 2024 0

Napoli extended their lead atop Serie A with a dominant 4-0 victory over Cagliari, while Inter Milan stumbled to a 1-1 draw at Monza.

Napoli’s triumph was marred by fan disorder, with a banner mocking Cagliari fans as “sheep” sparking a barrage of objects between supporters. The match was halted for seven minutes as projectiles and flares flew.

Despite the disruption, Napoli remained unfazed. Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s deflected opener gave them an early lead, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku combined for two more goals before the hour mark. Alessandro Buongiorno sealed the win with a stoppage-time header.

Inter’s title hopes took a blow as they dropped points at Monza. Denzel Dumfries rescued a point with a late equalizer after Dany Mota’s header had given the hosts the lead. Simone Inzaghi’s side looked sluggish and will need to improve ahead of their Champions League opener at Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Ademola Lookman marked his return to Atalanta with a decisive goal in their 3-2 victory over Fiorentina. The Nigerian forward, who had been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, netted the winner in stoppage time to secure three points for the Champions League-bound side.

Genoa snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw with Roma in the final seconds, continuing their impressive start to the season.

Inter Milan Grapples with Crime Links and Crucial Fixtures

Inter Milan Grapples with Crime Links and Crucial Fixtures

By September 13, 2024 0

Inter Milan face a pivotal week with crucial Champions League and Milan derby fixtures looming. However, the club has been rocked by the disturbing revelation of links between organized crime and its hardcore supporters.

On Sunday, Inter travel to Monza hoping to maintain their league lead. However, coach Simone Inzaghi is expected to rest key players ahead of their daunting trip to Manchester City in the Champions League.

Off the pitch, Inter has been embroiled in a shocking incident. Andrea Beretta, a reputed heir to a powerful crime family, was stabbed to death by Antonio Bellocco, a leader of the club’s “ultras.” Bellocco’s high status within the ‘Ndrangheta mafia has raised concerns about mafia infiltration into ultra groups.

The incident highlights fears that criminal organizations are exploiting the financial gains allegedly earned by some supporter organizations through illicit activities. Beretta had taken a leading role in the Curva Nord section after the murder of Vittorio Boiocchi, another career criminal who reportedly boasted of earning substantial sums through his position as ultra leader.

Inter’s biggest challenge this week comes on Wednesday when they face Manchester City in the Champions League. Inzaghi will need his first-choice players fit for both City and the Milan derby, which presents an opportunity to further distance themselves from their local rivals.

Meanwhile, AC Milan, who trail Inter by five points, host Venezia on Sunday. New coach Paulo Fonseca faces a tough start, with Tuesday’s visit of Liverpool also on the horizon. Tammy Abraham is set to make his first start alongside former Chelsea teammates Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

In other Serie A action, Atalanta, who suffered a heavy defeat to Inter before the international break, host Fiorentina on Sunday. Ademola Lookman, the hat-trick hero of last season’s Europa League victory, is expected to feature after agitating for a summer transfer.

Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions with Grand Celebration

By April 29, 2024 0

Inter Milan’s triumphant Serie A title celebration reached its peak on Sunday as the newly crowned champions paraded through the streets of Milan, greeted by thousands of jubilant fans. The team’s 2-0 victory over Torino on Sunday sealed their 20th league championship with five matches to spare.

Simone Inzaghi’s squad embarked on an open-top bus tour, making their way towards the iconic Piazza del Duomo, where a massive crowd had gathered. Fans erupted in cheers, waving flags and setting off fireworks in honor of their heroes.

Hakan Calhanoglu emerged as the star of the match, scoring both goals in the second half. His first strike came in the 56th minute, a stunning first-time effort, followed by a penalty four minutes later. Calhanoglu’s performance was a fitting tribute to his pivotal role in Inter’s title charge, having become one of Europe’s top deep-lying playmakers since joining from AC Milan three years ago.

Torino’s hopes were dealt a blow when Adrien Tameze was sent off in the 49th minute for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. With the numerical advantage, Inter dominated the remainder of the match, extending their lead over second-placed AC Milan to a commanding 19 points.

“Today is a wonderful day,” said Calhanoglu. “I don’t want to talk about that other lot (AC Milan). Today I’m going to have fun.”

While Inter celebrated their on-field success, the club faces pressing off-field issues, including the repayment of a substantial loan and the pursuit of a new stadium. However, on this day, fans were focused on the joy of the moment, with the party expected to continue throughout the night.

In other Serie A action, Tammy Abraham scored a crucial goal for Roma in their 2-2 draw with Napoli. The English striker, who had been sidelined for most of the season with a knee injury, came off the bench to nod home a corner in the 88th minute. Roma remain in the final Champions League spot, four points ahead of Bologna.

Atalanta kept their top-four hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Empoli, while Daniele De Rossi’s Bologna drew 1-1 with Udinese.

The victory, coupled with the coveted second star on their jersey, marked a milestone for the Nerazzurri, breaking the tie with their city rivals and claiming their 20th Italian league title.

Inter’s captain, Lautaro Martínez, expressed the significance of the moment, emphasizing the opportunity to seize the title in front of their loyal supporters. Despite the relentless rain, the spirits of the Nerazzurri and their fans soared.

Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram found the back of the net for Inter, while Fikayo Tomori’s late goal for AC Milan threatened to delay the celebrations. However, Inter’s resilience prevailed, securing the win that extended their lead to an insurmountable 17 points over second-placed Milan.

Inter Milan's Title Chase Continues Despite Cagliari Draw

Inter Milan’s Title Chase Continues Despite Cagliari Draw

By April 15, 2024 0

Inter Milan’s pursuit of the Serie A title remains on track despite a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to relegation-threatened Cagliari. The result leaves Inter with a 14-point lead over AC Milan, who also drew 3-3 at Sassuolo.

Cagliari’s Nicolas Viola snatched a late equalizer for the visitors, canceling out Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty that had given Inter the lead following Eldor Shomurodov’s equalizer. Inter manager Simone Inzaghi expressed frustration at the missed opportunity to extend their advantage.

“It’s annoying not to win after going ahead twice because we wanted the victory in front of our fans,” Inzaghi said. “We’re very close to a big goal but we know that we still need points to make it mathematically certain.”

Inter now need to win their next match, the Milan derby against AC Milan, to secure the Scudetto with five games remaining. However, Milan’s Noah Okafor salvaged a point for his team in their match against Sassuolo, keeping their title hopes alive.

Meanwhile, Roma’s Evan Ndicka is recovering after collapsing during their match at Udinese. The defender suffered an apparent chest problem, causing the game to be abandoned. Roma confirmed that Ndicka is in good spirits and undergoing further observations in the hospital.

The match will be resumed at a later date, with Roma currently in fifth place in the Serie A standings. They are well-positioned to qualify for next season’s Champions League, as they hold a five-point advantage over sixth-placed Atalanta.

Napoli’s hopes of finishing in the top five suffered a setback with a 2-2 draw at home to Frosinone. The result leaves Napoli six points behind Roma in eighth place. Frosinone remains in the relegation zone, level on points with Verona, who face Atalanta on Monday.
