This evening, Inter and Atalanta face off in the semifinal of the Supercoppa Italiana.
The Supercoppa is the first opportunity of the season for both teams to win silveware. The winner of this evening’s match will face either AC Milan or Juventus in the final on Monday.
Therefore, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to go with a very strong lineup.
Firstly, in goal, Yann Sommer starts as always.
Then, in defense it is a back three of Yann Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni. That is the first-choice backline with Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard still out.
And then on the flanks, Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco start on the right and left respectively.
Lautaro Martinez leads the Inter Milan line against Atalanta.
In midfield, meanwhile, Inzaghi has opted for the first-choice starting trio.
Therefore, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella all start.
Lastly, in attack, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez gets the nod. Therefore, he starts alongside Marcus Thuram, the first-choice attacking partnership for Inter.
Meanwhile, Matteo Darmian is back in the squad after recovering from a knee injury.
