Inter Milan take on Torino in Serie A this evening.
It will be the Nerazzurri's third-last league match of the season.
Taking three points will almost certainly be essential for Inter if they are to have any hope of keeping the pressure on Napoli at the top of the table.
The Partenopei play immediately after Inter. They face Genoa later this evening.
And if Inter are to win in Turin, then they will catch up to the league leaders, at least temporarily.
Therefore, Inzaghi has made it clear to the squad that he wants them to keep their focus and treat this as an important match.
However, at the same time there is no getting around the importance of the Champions League.

Inter just played in an exhausting semifinal second leg against Barcelona. Furthermore, they have the final of the competition against Paris Saint-Germain later this month to think about.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is therefore to make some notable changes to the starting eleven.
In goal, Yann Sommer had an absolutely outstanding tie against Barcelona.
The 36-year-old proved his worth with a series of saves that kept Inter on course for the Champions League final.
Therefore, it is clear that Nerazzurri coach Inzaghi will want Sommer available and fresh in the final against PSG.
Accordingly, reports the Gazzetta, Sommer will get a rest this evening.

Gattuso named Italy coach as the Azzurri aim to avoid missing out on a third straight World Cup
FLORENCE, Italy — Former hard-tackling midfielder Gennaro Gattuso was named Italy coach on Sunday, tasked with reviving the country's already-flagging World Cup qualifying hopes. Gattuso replaces Luciano Spalletti, who was fired last week after Italy lost its opening qualifier 3-0 at Norway to spark fears that the four-time champion will fail to qualify for a third straight World Cup.

Razgatlioglu seals Misano hat-trick as Rea crashes
Reigning World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu completed a hat-trick of victories at Misano by winning the second feature race. The BMW rider, 28, also won Saturday's opening race and Sunday's Superpole sprint race. Advertisement From pole position, Razgatlioglu dominated the third and final race of the weekend to move within nine points of championship leader Nicolo Bulega. The Turk will transfer to the MotoGP series in 2026, having signed a deal to ride a Yamaha for Prima Pramac Racing. From starting 10th on the grid, Italian Bulega finished almost 10 seconds behind, with Ducati team-mate Alvaro Bautista in third place. Northern Ireland's six-time champion Jonathan Rea was running in ninth position when he crashed out with 12 laps remaining. Razgatlioglu won the Superpole race earlier, which set the grid for the second feature race, ahead of England's Alex Lowes and Yamaha's Andrea Locatelli. Rea, who missed the opening three rounds of the season through injury, was seventh, while Bulega was taken out in a crash with Axel Bassani.

Gattuso named Italy coach as the Azzurri aim to avoid missing out on a third straight World Cup
Associated Press FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Former hard-tackling midfielder Gennaro Gattuso was named Italy coach on Sunday, tasked with reviving the country's already-flagging World Cup qualifying hopes. Gattuso replaces Luciano Spalletti, who was fired last week after Italy lost its opening qualifier 3-0 at Norway to spark fears that the four-time champion will fail to qualify for a third straight World Cup. Gattuso lifted one of those World Cups as a player, in 2006. "Gattuso is a symbol of Italian soccer, the blue shirt is like a second skin for him," Italian soccer federation president Gabriele Gravina said. "His motivation, his professionalism and his experience will be fundamental to best face the national team's next matches. 'Aware of the importance of the objective we want to achieve, I thank him for the willingness and total dedication with which he accepted this challenge.' Claudio Ranieri was the Italian soccer federation's top choice to replace Spalletti but he turned down the offer. Gattuso's last coaching job was at Hajduk Split but he left the Croatian club by mutual consent at the start of the month after just one season in charge. The 47-year-old had previously coached AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille, among others. As a player, Gattuso also won two league titles and two Champions League trophies with Milan, where he made 468 appearances and scored 11 goals. His only goal in 73 appearances for Italy was a fierce 25-meter strike against England in a 1-0 win in November 2000. Gattuso's only trophy as a coach was the Italian Cup with Napoli in 2010. Italy is already nine points behind Norway in its World Cup qualifying group, albeit having played two matches fewer than the group leader. The Azzurri followed up its dismal opening loss with a 2-0 win over minnow Moldova last Monday in what was Spalletti's final match in charge. He had revealed that he was being fired the previous day. Gattuso's first match as Italy coach will be at home to Estonia on Sept. 5. Israel is also in five-team Group I. Italy hosts Norway in the final round on Nov. 16. Only the group winner advances directly to the 2026 tournament co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The runner-up enters playoff brackets to be played next March. That was the stage where Italy was eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia and ruled out of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, respectively. Gattuso will be presented at a news conference in Rome on Thursday. ___ AP soccer:
