MILANO (April 17, 2026) (Interstat) — Inter Milan opened its Serie A campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Cagliari on Friday at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

The hosts scored twice in a four-minute span early in the second half to secure the result. Forward Marcus Thuram opened the scoring in the 52nd minute, followed by a goal from midfielder Nicolò Barella in the 56th. Substitute Piotr Zieliński added a third in second-half stoppage time.

Cagliari, which saw substitutes Sebastiano Esposito and Gennaro Borrelli receive yellow cards in quick succession during the first half, offered little offensive threat. The result defied the pre-match projection from Interstat, which simulated a 2-1 Inter win and gave the hosts a 98.9% probability of victory.
