Inter Vice-President Javier Zanetti urged the team to ignore upcoming Juventus tests and “honour” the Europa League with Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
It kicks off at San Siro at 20.05 UK time (19.05 GMT), follow the action from all four Italian sides in our LIVEBLOG.
“This is a European competition that we must honour and which offers us the opportunity to continue the good work seen against Pescara,” Zanetti told Sky Sport Italia.

“This is a European competition that we must honour and which offers us the opportunity to continue the good work seen against Pescara,” Zanetti told Sky Sport Italia.
“We want to start the group in the best way. It hasn’t been easy for De Boer, as he had many problems to face, but Frank has great ideas, is very clear and we all support him to have a great season. It’ll be tough, everyone has to add something more.”
There is the risk the Nerazzurri will be distracted by this Sunday’s Derby d’Italia.
“It’d be a mistake to think about the Juventus game, because no match is easy. We must play like Inter against Hapoel and show great concentration. It’s the only way we can win tonight.”
Mauro Icardi has scored all three of Inter’s goals so far this season, but he is on the bench tonight.
“Icardi has to be a captain off the field as well as on it and support his teammates. He can give Inter a lot, learn a lot and we are here to help him.”
