Inter's Lineup: Taremi Starts on the Bench in Year's Final Match
Inter Milan faces Cagliari in their last Serie A match of the year, with Mehdi Taremi starting on the bench as Simone Inzaghi opts for a Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram partnership upfront.
Inter Milan is set to play against Cagliari in their final Serie A match of the year. Manager Simone Inzaghi has announced the starting lineup, choosing to begin with the attacking duo of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, leaving Mehdi Taremi on the bench.
This decision comes after Taremi started in the recent Coppa Italia match against Udinese. Inter currently sits third in the Serie A standings with 37 points. A victory in this match would elevate them to 40 points, potentially placing them at the top of the table due to a superior goal difference over Napoli.
Inzaghi's lineup features a 3-5-2 formation: Yann Sommer as the goalkeeper; a defensive trio of Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Vrij, and Benjamin Pavard; midfielders Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Nicolò Barella, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in central roles, with Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco occupying the right and left flanks, respectively; and the forward pair of Martinez and Thuram.
Inter aims to conclude the year on a high note, striving for a win that could propel them to the league's summit. Fans will be watching closely to see if Taremi makes an impact as a substitute during the match.
