What They're Saying

Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): "I was waiting for a call from abroad more than a return to Italy. Above all, I never would've thought of a return to Inter. People do a lot of daft things in life and I did this because it seemed unthinkable to go back where you have already won so much."

Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi (via Football Italia): "I honestly never thought about leaving. I heard the rumors about other clubs that wanted me, but from the first moment I gave my total availability to staying here. I made a clear choice when I joined Inter from Sampdoria. I could've gone to other clubs, but wanted the Nerazzurri shirt because for me it's the top. Even when I had my agent Wanda [Nara, Icardi's wife] always assisted me with negotiations because she's very good at them. She wants the best for me and my family. The Inter directors are building a strong team that is able to return to the Champions League straight away."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Rodrigo Palacio scored a brace in Inter Milan's 4-3 victory over the Stuttgart Kickers. Until the club acquires a true No. 9 to lead the line, the 33-year-old will be relied upon to provide the finishing touch to the attack.

Inter Milan's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Handanovic; Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio, Jesus, Hernanes; Brozovic, Gnoukourt, Kovacic, Montoya; Palacio, Icardi
