Inter Milan Battles Cagliari in Crucial Serie A Clash

On September 27, 2025, Inter Milan travels to Cagliari in a crucial Serie A matchup. The Nerazzurri have struggled in recent weeks, losing back-to-back matches against Udinese and Juventus before scraping past Sassuolo 2-1.

However, Inter will be boosted by the return of striker Lautaro Martinez, who has recovered from a back problem. He will start alongside Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu in the attacking lineup. The visitors will also welcome the inclusion of Manuel Akanji, Stefan de Vrij, and Alessandro Bastoni in the defense.

Cagliari, on the other hand, are coming off two consecutive victories against Parma and Lecce, as well as a 4-1 midweek Coppa Italia win over Frosinone. Veteran striker Andrea Belotti will lead the Cagliari attack, with Yerry Mina anchoring the defense.

This match will hold special significance for Sardinian native and former Cagliari hero Nicolò Barella, who now plays for Inter Milan. Additionally, there is a family atmosphere as brothers Sebastiano and Francesco Pio Esposito will be on opposite sides of the pitch.
