Inter Milan left €85 million worth of summer signings on the bench in their starting XI in last night’s defeat to Juventus.

The Nerazzurri conceded twice in the last ten minutes as the Bianconeri snatched all three points.

As noted by the Gazzetta dello Sport, via FcInterNews, Akanji was the only summer signing to start the game.

The deadline-day signing was trusted on the right-hand side of the defence.

However, the former Manchester City man was largely unimpressive.

Petar Sucic and Ange-Yoan Bonny came off the bench for Inter.

Chivu brought on Bonny in the 64th minute to replace a tired Lautaro Martinez.

He also introduced Sucic with just ten minutes left but the midfielder failed to settle into the game.

Inter Milan Leave Diouf and Luis Henrique On Bench In Juventus Defeat

Not all of the Nerazzurri’s summer signings came off the bench.

Inter left French midfielder Andy Diouf on the bench as an unused substitute, despite signing him from Lens for €20 million in the summer.

The Nerazzurri also kept winger Luis Henrique on the bench, even though they paid €23 million to Marseille for him.

Head coach Cristian Chivu relied on experience but Inter fans will now wonder what might have happened if the Romanian trusted his new boys instead.
