Inter Milan Preview
Overview:
They were awarded last year’s Scudetto after it was stripped from Juventus, the Nerazzurri have started assembling the dream team required to repeat last year’s success on the pitch. Arguably they have the strongest side in Europe and will fancy their chances in the Champions League and Serie A. Italy’s underachievers surely will not disappoint this year.
Goal: Scudetto and Champions League titles
Prediction: Strong Serie A favourites but could easily stutter in European competition
