Do-Or-Die – Inter Milan Must Beat Urawa Red Diamonds To Secure Place In Lucrative FIFA Club World Cup Knockouts
Do-Or-Die – Inter Milan Must Beat Urawa Red Diamonds To Secure Place In Lucrative FIFA Club World Cup Knockouts Inter Milan will have to beat Urawa Red Diamonds this evening, or else face the prospect of a surprise early elimination from the Club World Cup. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan take on Urawa Red Diamonds in the Club World Cup this evening. It is the Nerazzurri's second match of the group stage. Their first ended in a 1-1 draw against Mexican side Monterrey. And that early draw has left Inter in a relatively precarious position. Now, Inter really cannot afford to drop anymore points. Particularly after River Plate beat Urawa Reds in their own group stage opener. Meanwhile River and Monterrey will face off today. Inter Milan Must Beat Urawa Reds Or Else Face Prospect Of Club World Cup Exit PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Henrikh Mkhitaryan #22 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) Inter Milan will certainly not want to bomb out of the Club World Cup before the knockout rounds. Advertisement First of all, that would seem to confirm that drop-off of the Nerazzurri's Champions League final defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. Moreover, there is a big financial incentive to keep going. The Club World Cup is highly lucrative, and Inter will hardly want to miss out on the payday from the knockout rounds. Therefore, this evening's match against Urawa Red Diamonds has become very important. In the event of a draw – or worse, a loss – Inter's future in the competition will be uncertain. On the other hand, a victory this evening would allow the Nerazzurri to head into their final match of the group stage against River Plate with their fate very much in their hands.
