Inter Milan warmed up for Wednesday’s Champions League blockbuster against Barcelona with a comfortable 2-0 Serie A victory over Parma on Sunday. Inter face the European champions at the San Siro in Group F, with the game given extra spice by the big-money swap between the clubs this summer involving Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto’o.
Serie A giants Juventus have sacked coach Claudio Ranieri following a weekend that saw Inter Milan clinch a fourth successive Scudetto in Italy. Former Chelsea chief Ranieri took charge of the Turin club in 2007 and Sunday’s 2-2 home draw with Atalanta left Juventus three points behind second-placed AC Milan with two games left. The club have now gone seven league matches without a win and Ranieri’s departure came in a Web site statement.
