    In fairness there is more chance of Inter winning the UCL than Juve. For whatever reason they dont have that "European DNA" to be a genuine super club like the Milanese do.

    Yes, because when we look at the state of Milan and Inter all of us immediately think "genuine super club". I don't see Juve as the favorite to win this season, but if you believe Inter to have a better chance, I'd like to invite you to a poker game going on at my house this weekend.

    If Khedira Matuidi are gonna be our starters to win CL, i dont have much hope. We really need Ramsey Rabiot and Benta to step up. I dread seeing these 2 in another CL final

    He's probably one of the biggest if not the biggest talent in the world but he isn't Messi/Ronaldo. He isn't as good as Griezzman yet, give the kid a year or 2 and then expect him to lead them to big titles, placing too much pressure on him can do more harm than good

    Costa and Pjanic are expected to undergo further tests today, both are a doubt for the game against Atletico on Wednesday. Bentancur could step in for Pjanic, with Matuidi and Khedira flanking him. Higuain took a knock, but he's ok and expected to start alongside Bernardeschi and Ronaldo.

    The last thing i wanna see is Matuidi, Bentancur, Khedira midfield. If Costa is injured, maybe it wouldn't be a worst thing to try Dybala behind Ronaldo and Higuain/Mandzukic.

    Mandzukic is never playing for this club again, he's in talks to move to Qatar and the club aren't going to risk injury.

    Costa is out for 2 weeks, just what we needed.

    I doubt Dybala starts,Sarri is likely going to slot in Bernardeschi in Costa's place and call it a day. Pjanic looks like he'll recover in time and will play.

    Same team as vs Fiore, minus the injured, guaranteed. Sarri has a big squad and he still won't rotate, using some lame ass excuses as to why not.

    Mandzukic is not on the CL roster anyway, so he could not even be an option in case of injuries. While we literally do not have a no. 9 on the roster, the only player who can fill that role is Higuain. If anything, Sarri would use Dybala like Mertens as a false 9. Personally, I can see a triangle between Ronaldo, Dybala & Bernardeschi where they rotate positions.

    All the papers are saying that this is the expected lineup

    Ronaldo-Higuain-Bernardeschi
    Matuidi-Pjanic-Khedira
    Alex Sandro-De Ligt-Bonucci-Danilo
    Szczesny

    They definitely won't win the CL. But im calling it now, they'll advance along with Dortmund to the ro16.

    I don't think that is a winning lineup, unfortunately.

    hope I am wrong.

    Sky is claiming that Cuadrado will start over Bernardeschi.

    I was wondering whether we will see this highly innovative and exciting midfield or not. Man I shall no longer be surprised :D

    Let's prepare for huge energy drop off in about 60 minutes into the game.
