Inter Milan are now looking to avenge from their finals loss last season, as they take on Real Sociedad, who just returned in the contest. Last season, Inter were able to reach the finals of the Champions League, but they unfortunately lost to Man City. It was actually Inter‘s first final in the contest since the 2010 season, but it is unfortunate that they did not win the title. This is already their 25th qualification in the Champions League, where they won three titles. On the other hand, this is the first time in 10 years that Sociedad qualified in the contest. This is already the fifth qualification of Sociedad in the Champions League, with their last qualification recorded back in the 2013-14 season. This meeting is on September 21, 2023, at 3:00 AM (GMT+8).
Inter Milan
Inter Milan have fallen short in their bid to win the continental title for the fourth time and first since 2010. They finished second in their group behind Bayern Munich, with 10 points and a 1-0 win over Barcelona. They then progressed past Porto and Benfica, setting up a semi-final tie with AC Milan. After a 2-0 victory in the first leg, they secured a 1-0 victory a week later, booking a meeting with Manchester City in the final. However, they fell just short, losing 1-0 to Manchester City. Despite this disappointment, Inter Milan have a perfect start to their new campaign, scoring 13 goals and only conceding once. They aim to start with three points in their Champions League campaign.
Inter are fortunate that they have a healthy squad coming into this match, which will make them have an unchanged lineup here.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad, a Basque football team, secured automatic progression to the round of 16 in the Europa League after a successful campaign. The team scored 10 goals and conceded twice, securing a spot in the knockout stage. However, they lost to eventual runners-up Roma, losing 2-0 away. The team has not yet managed to recover from their recent poor performance, with only six points from their five La Liga games. They started with three draws before scoring a goal in a 5-3 win over Granada. They also suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Real Madrid, which was turned around by goals from Federico Valverde and Joselu. Alguacil’s team aims to bounce back and secure a home victory on their return to Champions League action on Wednesday.
They will not be able to call the services of Carlos Fernandez, due to his suspension, while Andre Silva, and Martin Merquenlanz due to their injuries. With Silva being sidelined, Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to lead Sociedad in this match.

Inter Milan (1.5)
