Inter Milan is turning the page after a rollercoaster season as they gear up for their FIFA Club World Cup opener against Mexico’s Monterrey on Tuesday. Fresh off a heartbreaking 5-0 Champions League final loss to PSG and narrowly missing Serie A glory, the Italian giants are now under new leadership: former player Cristian Chivu. 🏟️
Chivu, who replaced Al-Hilal-bound Simone Inzaghi, faces immediate pressure to deliver in the revamped 32-team tournament. Defender Stefan de Vrij summed up the mood: "We’ve prepared well… we have confidence" – but Monterrey’s technical flair and European-experienced squad won’t make it easy. 💥
With River Plate and Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds also in Group E, Inter’s path to redemption is anything but straightforward. Can they turn their "promising season" into silverware this time? Fans will be watching closely at California’s iconic Rose Bowl. 📺⚡
