Inter Milan and Atalanta are set to kick off their pursuit of the season’s first trophy as they clash in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup.
The Nerazzurri, reigning Serie A champions, remain strong contenders for the league title despite entering the winter break in third place, trailing both Napoli and their semi-final rivals, Atalanta.
However, Inter appear to have rediscovered their dominant form from last season. A commanding 3-0 victory over Cagliari in Sardinia over the weekend marked their fifth consecutive domestic triumph, signaling a resurgence in their efficiency and confidence.

Despite their strong run, Atalanta enter the Super Cup after a rare stumble, having settled for a 1-1 draw against Lazio in their most recent outing. This sets the stage for an intriguing battle between two of Italy’s finest sides.
