Liverpool thoroughly dismantled AC Milan last night, but last season’s runaway Serie A winners Inter are a far stiffer examination. It has not been a particularly impressive start to their league season with draws against Genoa and Monza in their first four games, and even a 4-0 win over Atalanta was closer than the score suggests.

Inter Milan, who City famously defeated 1-0 in the 2023 Champions League final, are unbeaten in Serie A so far. They have won two and drawn two of their four games and sit second in the table. The Italian side are in good form and have the skills and history to challenge City.
