UEFA Champions League 2018-19: 5 Matches in the Group Stage you can't afford to miss

Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid - UEFA Super Cup

#5 Inter Milan vs Tottenham Hotspur - San Siro, 18th September, 10:25 PM [IST]

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League
Kane is the focal point of Spurs' attack

The last time these sides had met at the San Siro, Gareth Bale had announced himself on the world stage with a stunning hat-trick. Now, eight years on, Bale is long gone but Spurs will be looking to bring back some of his form when they travel to Milan.

Post the legendary era of Mourinho, Zanetti and their 2010 Champions League triumph, Inter Milan has been rather low key in the Europe scene. However, this summer, the blue side of Milan has been the place to be.

They added the experience of Belgian mid-fielder Radja Nainggolan from Roma and winger Keita Balde along with defender Sime Vrsaljko both on loan. Also, electrifying winger Lautaro Martinez joined Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic to form one of the best front three’s in Italy.

Inter’s defence will have to be careful of Spurs fullbacks Rose and Trippier who will bomb forward, often launching crosses into the box. Icardi should rival Kane for the goals in a game that’ll surely be attacking. If this match is even a shade of what it was last time at the San Siro, then we’re in for a good night.
