Game Preview
The Champions League’s Group D will see Inter Milan and Real Sociedad square off at San Siro on December 12 in a straight-up match for first place.
Within Serie A, Inter easily defeated Udinese 4-0 to reclaim top spot in Italy, their 15th win of the season coming after a 3-0 loss to defending champions Napoli the previous week. Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, and Hakan Calhanoglu, who had earlier scored an incredible goal versus the title holders, all netted in the first half, and late in the game, captain Lautaro Martinez tallied his 14th league goal of the year. With just one loss so far this season, a shocking defeat to Sassuolo in September, they are tied for 1st place with longtime rivals Juventus. With a two-point lead through 15 games, most experts believe they will win the championship. While Cuadrado, Arnautovic, and Alexis Sanchez are all vying for a starting position, the defense trio of Dumfries, Pavard, and de Vrij has been dealing with injuries lately.
Conversely, Real Sociedad’s goal differential is greater than Inter’s after five games, meaning they only require 1 point from their final encounter to take first place in Group D and, with it, a favorable draw in the round of 16. They had already won both of their away Champions League matches this season, matching their total from the previous 12 games. However, they were held to a scoreless tie by Red Bull Salzburg last month. After a rocky start to the campaign, head coach Imanol Alguacil has received praise for his team’s remarkable recent success, which has placed them inside La Liga’s top 6. Real Sociedad has performed admirably this season and is presently ranked fifth in La Liga. They will be confident going into this match after thrashing Villarreal 3-0 in their last game.
