Inter Milan will be the first team in Serie A history to play a league match on a Sunday before a European semifinal.

This is highlighted by Italian outlet FCInter1908, after the confirmation of the postponement of the clash with the Giallorossi.

Inter Milan will face Roma on Sunday instead of Saturday this weekend.

There were hectic behind-the-scenes talks yesterday regarding possibly keeping the match on Saturday.

That would be to enable Inter to have an extra day to prepare for their Champions League semifinal first leg against Barcelona.

However, in the end the Nerazzurri decided to accept the postponement to Sunday.

However, the circumstances have really restricted the Nerazzurri’s option.

The league always takes steps to ensure that teams in European have ample time to prepare for knockout matches. Particularly ones as far as the semifinals.
