The matches with Milan, Barcelona and Lazio will truly show what Inter are made of according to a report from Rome based newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

The next three games are Inter’s toughest spell they have endured this season and they will no doubt be out looking to be as successful as possible during it.

In the derby, Inter will be looking to replicate Spalletti’s first Milan derby result, the 3-2 win achieved a year ago yesterday with thanks to club captain Mauro Icardi’s hat-trick.

Against Barcelona, Inter will be coming up against the other team in their Champions League group with maximum points. This is perhaps the biggest of all the three games in terms of testing what they are made of as they are playing one of European and World football’s best clubs currently.

As for Lazio, Inter have great memories from the last meeting, the 3-2 win that secured them Champions League qualification for this season back in May.
