Overview
- Inter drew 1-1 with AC Milan in Perth, with Federico Dimarco scoring for Inter and Christopher Nkunku levelling from a late penalty.
- Chivu said the team struggled early to occupy spaces and play out from the back but improved as the match went on, stressing tactical work over final scores.
- Yann Bisseck took a heavy blow to the head late in the game, was dazed and substituted, and his developing condition is the main medical issue being monitored.
- The coach has spread minutes across his four centre‑back options in camp — Benjamin Pavard, Bisseck, Alessandro Bastoni and Carlos Augusto — to protect fitness and assess depth.
- Young forwards Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange Yoan Bonny earned praise for their minutes and will remain part of rotation as Inter prepare to face Juventus in Perth and open Serie A on August 22.
