With Inter seemingly in the race for Timo Werner’s signature, Richard Hall asks can the Nerazzurri afford not to sign the German hitman?
If Inter want to be classed as long term competitors for the Scudetto, then they must bring in players like Timo Werner. They ought to be favourites for the RB Leipzig forward, ready to trigger his €60m release clause when Liverpool and Juventus won’t.

On this day in 2005, Milan botched a 3-0 lead against Liverpool and ended up losing the Champions League Final on penalties.

Ricky Kaka looks back 13 years after Milan beat Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League Final. ‘It was a sign from God, not a coincidence.’
The two teams had already clashed in Istanbul in 2005, when the Rossoneri dominated only to fumble a 3-0 lead and eventually lose on penalties, but they met again in Athens.
