Matchday 6 of SerieA is drawing to a close with two key matches: Atalanta will face Venezia at the Gewiss Stadium at 6.30pm, while Inter and Napoli are already ahead of important Champions League matches. Atalanta, looking for points after a performance below expectations, announced the 4‑2‑3‑1 formation with Carnesecchi on the left wing, Bellanova, Scalvini, Kristensen and Zappacosta in defense, Kessié and Ederson in midfield, Elmas, DeKetelaere and Rowe in attack, and Krstović in goal. Venezia, on the other hand, presents itself with a 3‑5‑2 structure: Stanković in goal, Halhal, Moreno and JuanJesús in defense, Hainaut, Pérez, Sohm, Basic and Correia in midfield, and Yeboah and Adams in attack.
Meanwhile, the Champions League is already taking shape. Inter will host Club Brugge, while Napoli will face Villarreal. For the Azzurri, finishing training was disturbed by an invasion of midges on the Castel Volturno pitch, but coach Cristian Chivu reassured the media, declaring that "some changes will be made" and that Calhanoglu is fit, having emerged healthy from the match against Parma. Furthermore, the UEFA list has been updated: the injured Favasuli has been replaced by Giovane.
On the administrative front, Inter saw the financial budget for the 2025/26 fiscal year approved by the Members' Assembly. The club recorded a profit for the second consecutive year, with a positive net worth of 10.4 million euros. President Marotta welcomed the news with enthusiasm, announcing that "there are imminent news also on the stadium front", without going into details.
With matchday 6 almost over, the Italian teams are preparing to shift attention from SerieA to the Champions League, while Inter continues to consolidate its financial solidity and plan future investments. The next step will be the opening match of the 2nd round of the championship, which will determine whether the Italian teams will maintain their position in the standings or whether they will have to review their strategy for the season.
