Last year's runners-up to Napoli Inter MIian started their campaign strongly with a 5-0 drubbing of Torino at the San Siro Monday night.
France forward Marcus Thuram got a brace and skipper Lautaro Martinez of Argentina another, while the other goals came from Italy centre back Alessandro Bastoni and France under-21 star striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
All in all it was the perfect start on the bench for Romanian coach Christian Chivu, the former Inter defender and 2010 treble winner - and a big bounceback from their last competitive match, the Champions League Final 5-0 thrashing by PSG.
