Inter Milan and Iran striker expects tough UEFA Champions League test against Arsenal: ‘Difficult game against a top team’

Inter Milan center forward Mehdi Taremi expects a “tough” game against Arsenal in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League blockbuster.

During his pre-match conversation with InterTV, as reported by FCInterNewsthe Iranian international praised the Gunners’ strength.

Although Mehdi Taremi Despite often being second choice in Serie A, Simone Inzaghi remains indispensable in Europe.

After starting the first three Champions League games, the 32-year-old will be in the starting lineup again this evening.

In fact, he will take Marcus Thuram’s place alongside Lautaro Martinez at the center of Inter’s attack.

Hopefully he will put it to good use as Inter face one of the best defensive teams in Europe.

Mikel Arteta’s men are virtually impregnable in defense and have kept a clean sheet in all three Champions League games this season.

It is worth noting that they scored twice against Atalanta and Paris Saint-Germain, highlighting their immense defensive potential.

However, Inter are firing hard at Giuseppe Meazza.

They had scored at least two goals in five of their six home games before wasting numerous chances in a 1-0 win against Venezia.

Thuram’s wasteful finishing was one of the reasons Inter failed to beat Filip Stankovic more than once.

Therefore, the Frenchman will be on the bench tonight and Taremi is ready to take advantage of the opportunity.

“This game is very tough,” said the former Porto striker.

“We are facing a team with great quality and great players.

“We prepared well and knew it would be a very difficult game.”

Taremi reflected on the rare starting opportunity and admitted he is desperate to impress.

“It’s a great opportunity, I always try to do my best. My focus is on doing a good job.”

Inter face Arsenal for the first time since 2003 as they look to secure a near-perfect start to the Champions League.

Additionally, they boast a remarkable eight-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
