Inter Milan will face Man City on September 18th and Arsenal on November 6th.
UEFA have confirmed the Champions League schedule, with the Nerazzurri also pencilling in fixtures against Bundesliga duo Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, and Ligue 1 team Monaco.
On Thursday, Inter learned who their eight opponents will be in the Champions League “league phase.”
This season, UEFA is rolling out a new format for their top club competition.
Rather than 32 teams, there will be 36. And instead of eight groups of four, there is a new format that sees each team face eight different opponents – and just once, rather than home and away.
Inter drew a mixed bag in terms of opposition.
On paper, the Nerazzurri’s toughest opposition will be from the Premier League.
Inter will have to face the teams that finished first and second last season in the cash-rich English top flight.
With that said, it is not as though Inter will be underestimating any of their opposition.
Inter Face Man City In September & Arsenal In November In UCL
On paper, Inter will be getting their toughest match of the “league phase” out of the way early.
The Nerazzurri travel to Manchester to face Manchester City. This will be a rematch of the 2023 Champions League final, which the Premier League juggernauts won 1-0.
That match will take place on September 18th.
Next up, Inter will host Red Star Belgrade on the first of October. And then on October 23rd the Nerazzurri will travel to Switzerland to face Young Boys.
On November 6th, Inter will face another hugely important match. Arsenal will travel to the San Siro for a marquee clash in that round of fixtures.
The following two matches, then, will be against Bundesliga opposition.
Inter play RB Leipzig at home on November 26th and German champions Bayer Leverkusen away on December 10th.
On the 22nd of January Inter will travel to Czechia to face Sparta Prague. And finally, one week later on January 29th the Nerazzurri will host Monaco.
