For the second Serie A game in a row, Inter came back from 2-0 down to win, this time crushing Udinese 5-3 in a chaotic encounter at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri had a perfect start in Serie A thanks to a comeback from 2-0 down to beat Napoli 3-2, but lost their Champions League opener 2-1 to Real Madrid this week following some costly individual errors.
Cristian Chivu rotated, giving John Stones his first start, but resting Lautaro Martinez, Yann Bisseck and Hakan Calhanoglu, along with not fully fit Federico Dimarco and injured Djed Spence. The Friulani had an injury crisis, missing Oumar Solet, Nicolò Zaniolo, Juan Arizala, Matteo Palma and Jakub Piotrowski, the Poland international undergoing surgery today to correct a benign cardiac arrhythmia.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Federico Dimarco is closing in on a return to Inter's matchday squad for Monday's clash with Udinese at San Siro, with Cristian Chivu weighing several further changes to his starting XI following the Champions League trip to Real Madrid.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Nerazzurri boss is treating the fixture as more than a simple fatigue-management exercise. The report frames it as evidence of a genuine rotation policy, made possible by the depth Inter built during the summer transfer window.
Dimarco has been managing a knee sprain picked up in recent days, and while the issue kept him sidelined, he has now completed part of the latest training session alongside his teammates before continuing with individual work. His call-up against Udinese appears probable, though Chivu still must decide whether to throw him straight back into the action or ease him in gradually, as detailed in SempreInter's recent coverage of Dimarco's situation.
Djed Spence remains further off the pace. The wing-back continues his individual work on the pitch but is edging closer to a full return to group training.
John Stones could be handed his first start of the season after a string of promising cameos, including his second-half introduction in Madrid. A Stones start would mark the fourth different defensive trio Chivu has fielded in five matches this season.

Former Inter defender Marco Materazzi feels José Mourinho wouldn't have subbed Rasmus Hojlund off, as Massimiliano Allegri did against Inter last weekend, but Federico Dimarco's absence will be 'significant' at the Bernabéu tonight.
Inter and Mourinho reunite at the Bernabéu tonight in the opening round of the 2026-27 Champions League, at the same venue where the Special One lifted the Champions League as the Nerazzurri coach in 2010.
Materazzi built a strong bond with Mourinho during the Portuguese's two-year spell at San Siro and recently met the Special One in Italy: "José took a plane specifically to record that footage, and he told me again: 'You and John Terry, the most important centre-backs of my career'," Materazzi told Gazzetta.
The former Italy defender, a 2006 Italy World Cup winner, is certainly not surprised that Real Madrid hired Mou last summer.
"No, because I know the relationship he has with Florentino, how much he trusts José," he said.

The Men's First Team fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat against Inter in the first 2026/27 pre-season match in Australia.
The Nerazzurri took the lead in the first half through Federico Dimarco and doubled their advantage in the second half via Andy Diouf. In the closing stages, Juventus pulled one back through Chico Conceicao.
Juventus tried to control possession from the very first minute, whilst Inter sat back and looked to exploit the ****** es. In the 3rd minute, Edon Zhegrova swung a free-kick into the box and Ange-Yoan Bonny got there first, conceding the Bianconeri's first corner. Shortly afterwards, Kenan Yildiz, with a fine piece of play, set up Andrea Cambiaso, who was stopped by the Nerazzurri defence.
The first real shot of the match came from Inter. In the 11th minute, following a corner taken by Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella struck a volley from 22 metres out but failed to hit the target. In the 18th minute, Juventus had their first attempt, with Zhegrova's left-footed shot from distance saved by Ivan Provedel.
Two minutes later, however, Inter broke the deadlock. Bonny dribbled past an opponent and played the ball across to Dimarco, who struck it first time with an angled shot that beat Michele Di Gregorio to make it 1–0.

Italy's sport pages on Thursday balance the first Milan derby of the summer, played out in Australia with a poignant Baresi tribute, against a transfer market moving at full tilt, led by Juventus's spending and Fiorentina's capture of Franco Mastantuono.
As noted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, Stadio and Tuttosport, the Perth derby ended 1-1, Federico Dimarco firing Inter ahead before a soft Christopher Nkunku penalty levelled it for Milan.
The occasion was framed by tributes to Franco Baresi, the players gathering around his No. 6 shirt for a minute's silence and pausing again at the sixth minute; Luka Modrić, introduced to a warm ovation, later called the late captain "the essence of the club."
Gazzetta leads on Dimarco, "Ci metto la firma", noting his fine form as Inter push to tie him to a new deal.
For Corriere and Tuttosport, though, the day belongs to Juventus.

Ruben Amorim outlines where he saw 'improvements' in Milan's 1-1 draw with Inter, warning they need to 'keep more possession,' and treating Rafael Leao 'the same way' as others.
The Rossoneri had gone behind in Perth to a Federico Dimarco goal, with Pervis Estupinan struggling to deal with defending down their left flank.
Christopher Nkunku drew contact with Carlos Augusto and converted the soft penalty to equalise, sealing the 1-1 result of this unusual Australian Derby della Madonnina.

"It was important that we didn't lose, but even more important is to keep improving as a team," Amorim told Sky Sport Italia.

Frenchman Christopher Nkunku converted a late penalty as AC Milan drew 1-1 with rivals Inter Milan in a lacklustre pre-season derby on Wednesday in Perth.
In front of 52,310 fans, Serie A champions Inter Milan appeared to be claiming the bragging rights after Federico Dimarco's strike from close range in the 52nd minute.
But Nkunku was brought down by Carlos Augusto in the 83rd minute before squaring the contest with a superbly taken penalty.
The result ensured that new AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim is still seeking a maiden victory after his reign began with a 2-2 draw in a friendly against Celtic in Glasgow last month.
Amorim, fired as Manchester United coach in January, has been tasked with turning around ailing AC Milan, who missed out on the Champions League last season.

A soft Christopher Nkunku penalty cancelled out the Federico Dimarco opener, as Inter and Milan drew 1-1 in a pre-season friendly in Perth.
There were several initiatives before kick-off to remember iconic Rossoneri captain Franco Baresi, including a minute's silence with all the players united around his jersey, and the Milan players wearing his Number 6 shirt. Play also halted at the sixth minute for a further moment of remembrance.

Francesco Camarda and Davide Bartesaghi both somehow failed to get the crucial touch on a Samuel Chukwueze cross at the back post, then Yunus Musah fired into the upright of a practically open goal on the Ruben Loftus-Cheek pull-back.
Francesco Pio Esposito's acrobatic volley forced a tricky save, as did Piotr Zielinski's flick from 12 yards.

Mateo Kovačić has not forgotten Inter, and speculation over a return to San Siro has been rekindled after the Croatian caught up with old friends during Manchester City's visit to face the Nerazzurri.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the contact came on the fringes of the two sides' pre-season friendly in Hong Kong.
Inter themselves posted a video on social media showing the 32-year-old deep in conversation with compatriot Petar Sučić and warmly greeting the likes of Federico Dimarco and ****** istant coach Aleksandar Kolarov, a reunion that has only fuelled talk of a possible homecoming.

Those whispers are not new. In recent weeks it emerged that Kovačić's entourage had offered him to the Inter hierarchy, who made clear that departures would be required before any deal could be considered.
