Inter Milan Face Crucial Torino Clash Amid Scudetto Chase After Champions League High

Just five days after their unforgettable night in the Champions League, Inter Milan must shift focus back to domestic duties as they face Torino on Sunday, May 11 at 11:00 PM WIB. Still riding the emotional wave of their dramatic comeback against Barcelona, the Nerazzurri now face the harsh reality of their final push for the Serie A title.

Currently trailing Napoli by three points with just three games left, Inter must secure perfect results and hope for a slip-up from their rivals. The legendary second-leg performance against Barcelona, hailed by many as one of the greatest matches in European football history, saw Inter triumph 7-6 on aggregate.

Francesco Acerbi's late equalizer and Davide Frattesi’s extra-time winner sparked wild celebrations at the San Siro, with Frattesi nearly fainting from the overwhelming euphoria. But with a Champions League final against PSG looming, coach Simone Inzaghi must ensure his players refocus on Serie A—starting with a tricky away trip to Torino.

Unbeaten at the Olimpico Grande Torino in 2025, Paolo Vanoli's side have built a fortress in Turin. Although their 1-1 draw with Venezia last week was underwhelming, the late penalty from Nikola Vlasic showed the team’s resilience.

Torino are still eyeing a top-10 finish, competing closely with Como and Udinese, which gives them added motivation despite the absence of title pressure. Inter's away form in 2025 is a growing concern, with only one win in their last seven Serie A games on the road.

This contrasts sharply with their earlier run of eight consecutive away victories. Defensive fragility is also creeping in—Inter remain one of just two top-tier teams yet to record back-to-back clean sheets this calendar year.

These stats underline the urgency for improvement if they are to keep their Scudetto dream alive. History does favor Inter in this fixture.

They have won their last five league meetings with Torino, four of them without conceding a goal. However, this season's Torino is tougher, especially at home.

Should they avoid defeat, it will mark their first unbeaten run of 10 consecutive home games in Serie A since 1995—a feat that would seriously dent Inter’s title ambitions.

But Inter cannot afford to take this match lightly. The pressure is squarely on them, while Torino have the freedom to play without fear—often the most dangerous mindset in football.

With the Scudetto hanging in the balance, Sunday night could be decisive for Inter’s domestic fate.
