Juventus host Inter on Friday in a match that pits two of Serie A s biggest names against each other, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauro Icardi go head to head.
Icardi was crowned Serie A s player of the year on Monday and Ronaldo will certainly have that title in his sights as he bids to establish himself in Italy following his €112million move from Real Madrid.

Friday s clash presents the first opportunity to see Ronaldo and Icardi in direct competition, but Opta s data indicates the latter has a frighteningly good record against the Bianconeri.
Since his first meeting with Juve, only six clubs have managed m…
Inter Milan begin their latest bid for Champions League glory with Simone Inzaghi looking to replicate last season’s glorious run.
Inter made it all the way to the final in July only to come up short in a narrow 1-0 defeat against the new champions, and English treble winners, Manchester City in Istanbul.
They face Real Sociedad in the Group D opener on Wednesday looking to make a strong start to their continental campaign.
“It was a great journey,” Inzaghi told reporters. “This year it starts again against a strong team. We will play it like last year, knowing that it will be difficult to repeat what we did, but that we want to try again.”
Inter travel to Spain buoyant on the back of a thumping 5-1 win over AC Milan in the first derby of the se…

Gibraltar celebrated their first competitive international triumph on Saturday, winning 1-0 at Armenia in the Nations League.
UEFA recognised Gibraltar as an affiliate in 2013, with the team entering Euro 2016 qualification, but they have had to wait for a competitive breakthrough.
It finally arrived in Yerevan, though, as Joseph Chipolina s second-half penalty proved enough to defeat an Armenia team featuring Arsenal star Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Hrayr Mkoyan fouled Lee Casciaro in the area and Lincoln Red Imps man Chipolina stepped up to score from 12 yards and get Gibraltar up and running in Group 4 of the Nations League s League D.
