Serie A, Inter-Monza on the pitch tonight at 20:45.
The beautiful Inter of Europe must dive back with maximum concentration on the championship.
Not only because Raffaele Palladino's dreaded Monza arrives at San Siro after the success in Lisbon against Benfica, but above all because Simone Inzaghi's men badly need to get back to scoring heavy points in the race to qualify for the next Champions League.
In fact, in the last six games in Serie A, the nerazzurri have collected only four points: the last victory remains the one against Lecce on 5 March and since then in the space of four games there have been only one point, the one the mock draw by Candreva last week against Salernitana.
Too little for a team that needs to enter the next Champions League also for economic reasons.
It won't be easy to get back to winning ways, however, also because Monza already made Inter suffer in the first leg with Caldirola's last-gasp equaliser.
Furthermore, the Nerazzurri will have the dross of the success against Benfica in their legs, with the risk of even having their heads in Wednesday's match which could open the doors to a semi-final of the Champions League that Inter have been missing for thirteen years (the last once in 2009/10, the year of the Treble).
Also for this reason, Inzaghi is evaluating a bit of turnover, starting with a rest game for Darmian (the most used Inter player in this 2023), with D'Ambrosio ready to replace him from 1' in defense.
In attack, however, Lukaku will be seen again, favorite to start the match in a now fixed pair with Correa,
while Lautaro and Dzeko should sit on the bench.
Calhanoglu will also be on the bench, returning after the muscle problem suffered with the national team but not yet at 100% due to already having a starting shirt: it is more probable that Inzaghi can use him during the match to let him put minutes in his legs towards the match of Champions League.
Still nothing to do, however, for Milan Skriniar, who is still struggling with a back problem.
The Slovakian defender's last appearance since the first minute was on 22 February against Porto, then only a remnant of the match again with the Portuguese in the second leg.
Meanwhile, there will be no shortage of fans in the stands against Monza: in fact, yet another full house is expected at the Meazza with over 73,000 fans present.
