Inter Milan welcome Liverpool to the San Siro on Tuesday, aiming to solidify their status as one of the competition’s favourites.
Cristian Chivu’s side look to bounce back immediately in Europe. Previously, they suffered their first Champions League defeat of the season against Atlético Madrid on matchday five. However, their response domestically proved emphatic since they thrashed Como 4-0 at the weekend.
Notably, the Nerazzurri remain nearly unbeatable at home in this competition. In fact, they hold an unbeaten record in their last 18 Champions League matches at the San Siro. Consequently, this fortress mentality will prove crucial against a Liverpool side that struggles for form but remains dangerous. Furthermore, Inter feel confident of inflicting more misery on their English opponents because captain Lautaro Martínez sits in sensational scoring form.
Inter Milan team news
Fortunately, Cristian Chivu received a fitness boost on the right flank. Specifically, Denzel Dumfries pushes to return after an ankle issue. However, he may settle for a place on the bench while he builds match fitness. Meanwhile, Matteo Darmian remains out with a calf injury. Additionally, backup goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro and defender Tomás Palacios remain unavailable. Therefore, Carlos Augusto looks set to start on the right to provide width and defensive cover.
In midfield, Hakan Çalhanoglu will pull the strings. Remarkably, he ranks as one of the most creative passers in the competition this season. Nicolo Barella and Piotr Zieliński will flank him. Up front, Lautaro Martínez remains the first name on the team sheet. Impressively, the Argentine scored in all five of his Champions League home games in 2025. Finally, he will partner Marcus Thuram to form one of Europe’s most potent strike forces.
