Inter Milan, beaten and outclassed at home by Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, will barely have time to lick their wounds before facing another tough test with a visit to second-placed Sassuolo in Serie A on Saturday.
Sassuolo, who have 18 points and are two behind leaders AC Milan, are one of three teams still unbeaten after eight games and are joint top scorers alongside Inter with 20 goals.
Inter are fifth with 15 points but their erratic form has left coach Antonio Conte exasperated, especially as they are expected to challenge for the title.
