Overview
- Inter beat Roma 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in their first match after the international break, as confirmed by ANSA.
- Gian Piero Gasperini cast the fixture as a courage test to gauge Roma’s level against one of Europe’s strongest squads.
- Roma had near-full availability aside from Angelino and long-term absentee Calvin Bailey, with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini having trained well during the break.
- Cristian Chivu said Inter’s internationals returned healthy, confirmed Sommer in goal, and anticipated Thuram’s absence, which the lineup reflected.
- The defeat continued Roma’s long home drought against Inter dating back to 2016 and extended Gasperini’s winless run versus the nerazzurri.
