Inter Milan will look to build on their huge win in Europe and get their struggling Serie A campaign back on track when they face Sassuolo on Saturday (October 8).
The Nerazzurri beat mighty Barcelona 1-0 at home in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, with Hakan Calhanoglu scoring the only goal of the game. It was a huge boost for Filipo Inzaghi's men, who came into the game off consecutive league defeats to Udinese and AS Roma.
Le Zebrette beat Inter 3-1, while the Giallorossi piled more pressure with a 2-1 win at the San Siro. Inter are ninth in the standings with just 12 points from eight games.
However, the defeat of the Blaugrana should do a world of good for their confidence. The Nerazzurri would need that against a tricky Sassuolo outfit who beat them in their last meeting.
The Neroverdi also have 12 points in eight games but sit a position ahead of the 2020-21 champions due to a better goal difference. Alessio Dionisi's side have awon their last two league games - a 1-0 defeat of Torino on the road before a 5-0 destruction of Salernitana at home.
