Champions League finalists Inter Milan face off against Liga MX side Monterrey to kick-off their Club World Cup campaigns.
After making the Liga MX final to close out 2024, Monterrey had a rocky opening six months of the year, culminating in disappointing eliminations from both the Concacaf Champions Cup and the Clausura 2025 season, leading to the firing of former manager Martín Demichelis.
Now, the two-time Club World Cup third place finishers will look to have a strong performance in the summer tournament, boasting one of the most talented rosters in all of North America.
Not two months ago, Inter Milan were dreaming of a treble winning campaign. However, poor results in the home stretch of the season saw the Nerazzurri end the season sans a trophy, leading to Simone Inzaghi leaving after falling in uncompetitive fashion to PSG in the Champions League final.
Despite the disappointing end of the season, Inter are still one of the best clubs in the world and are among the favorites to lift the Club World Cup trophy in a month's time.
With two managers making their debut at their new teams, here's guide to Monterrey vs. Inter Milan in the Club World Cup.
