The Champions League serves up a huge night at San Siro as Inter host Liverpool in the UCL league phase. Inter have been flying against weaker sides, but still seem to struggle mentally in the really big games. Meanwhile, things are not getting better on Arne Slot's side, as the team continue to bleed.

Inter come into this match in good spirits after a run of convincing domestic wins. However, the real question is how they handle another heavyweight opponent. Their Champions League path so far has included weaker sides like Kairat and Union SG. The first real test was their recent game against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a late 2-1 loss. It seems that Inter's performances dip whenever the pressure rises, and defeats to Milan, Napoli and Atletico still hang over them.
Liverpool may be unbeaten in their last three games, but draws against Leeds and Sunderland hardly inspire optimism. The team still doesn't seem connected with Arne Slot's ideas. Additionally, the Mo Salah scandal about being benched led to him being left out entirely for this game. This only adds chaos to the locker room. Liverpool's defence is another enormous problem. Across their last 13 matches, they have conceded 25 goals. It is a clear sign of a serious structural problem.
Inter look the technically superior side heading into this match. With Liverpool in a mess, the opportunity is there for the hosts to show strong mentality in a big game. The San Siro crowd should give them the extra push they need. Our prediction: Inter Milan to win.
