Costacurta believes two Serie A sides will surprise a few in the Champions League

Alessandro Costacurta, a former Milan defender and Sky Sport Italia analyst, has shared his predictions for the upcoming 2026-27 Champions League season. Costacurta believes that two Italian sides, Inter and Como, have the potential to surprise several teams in the competition. Inter, as the reigning Serie A champions, are currently considered the strongest Italian side in the league.

The team has made significant additions to their squad during the summer transfer window, including John Stones, Curtis Jones, and Djed Spence, making them a strong contender for the title. Costacurta is particularly interested in Inter's chances, as he believes they could finish ahead of the other teams in the competition. He also predicts that Como, despite being a young team with energy and enthusiasm, will reach the round of 16 in the Champions League.

Costacurta acknowledges that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains the top team in Europe, even after the loss of their star player Barcola. He also highlights Barcelona and Real Madrid as other teams with exceptional players and strong chances of winning the Champions League.
