Overview
- Inter moved to six points from two matches with a 3-0 win at San Siro, as Lautaro Martinez scored twice and Denzel Dumfries added the other to leave them level with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
- Cristian Chivu implemented seven changes, restoring Yann Sommer in goal behind a back three of Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni, with Petar Sucic and Piotr Zielinski starting in midfield alongside Hakan Calhanoglu.
- The opener came from a Slavia error punished by Martinez, Dumfries finished a Thuram cut-back for the second, and the captain tapped in the third after Thuram’s backheel released Bastoni to cross.
- Marcus Thuram was seen limping after full-time; Chivu said the forward reported a cramp and that medical tests are scheduled for Wednesday.
- Milan’s city hall approved the €197 million sale of the San Siro site to Inter and AC Milan, with completion required by November 10 to avoid a protection order; the clubs plan a 71,500-seat new arena, with demolition of the current stadium not expected before 2031.
