Champions League: Inter in Moscow, Roma Host Sporting

Last time Inter were in Russia, Julio Cruz scored in the first minute(ish) and they beat Spartak Moscow on a plastic pitch to begin turning around last season's nightmarish Champions League start. Though the turnaround has started a little earlier this time round, three away points again would be very nice: CSKA Moscow are bottom of Group G with one point from two matches, and Inter need to beat them to make sure they say in the top two (or take over the top spot, if Fenerbahçe fail to beat PSV), as well as for the good of their fragile European confidence.
