Inter started badly in Serie A with only 8 points in 5 games, but showed an extremely different version in the Champions League. Last Wednesday, at their home debut against Manchester City, the Nerazzurri played a game of great application and courage.

A performance that did not go unnoticed among Pep Guardiola’s players, as Riccardo Trevisani pointed out yesterday during “Cronache di Spogliatoio”. The journalist reported having discussed with Josko Gvardiol, a pillar of the Citizens, after the game with the Nerazzurri. The 2002 Croatian class confessed: “No one in the Premier League has ever faced us as Inter did in the Champions League”.

An anecdote that reinforced Trevisani’s thesis: “Milan in the Champions League has lost, Inter came out with bow ties, rich prizes, crown on head. And they must have said: ‘Can Milan scare us now?'”
