Inter Milan kept their European hopes alive with a 2-1 victory at Udinese on Tuesday.

The Europa League is looming back into view for Inter Milan following Tuesday's 2-1 win over nine-man Udinese but coach Roberto Mancini still has work to do.
Europe seemed far away during a difficult winter but it's now a possibility again — although Mancini will not be getting too excited just yet. They have a tough run-in, with an upcoming visit from Chievo this Sunday just one more obstacle to clear.
Inter's upturn in form has allowed fans to hope for Europe again. Successive 2-1 wins over Roma…

Lukas Podolski scored the winner for Inter Milan on Tuesday night.

Inter Milan squeezed past nine-man Udinese to climb to seventh place in Serie A with a 2-1 victory at Stadio Friuli.
The Nerazzurri dominated throughout but the game was goalless at half-time despite the dismissal of home defender Maurizio Domizzi.
Mauro Icardi's spot-kick opener was quickly cancelled out by Antonio Di Natale, yet Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu's rash sending-off allowed Lukas Podolski to hit a winner.
Roberto Mancini's men are now just two points behind fifth-placed Sampdoria and a shot…

Lukas Podolski has struggled for Inter Milan since joining from Arsenal on loan.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has confirmed Lukas Podolski's exit in the summer, saying that the Germany international wants to go back to Arsenal.
Podolski, 29, has failed to make an impression for Inter since joining them on loan until the end of the season in January, having still yet to score for the club.
The Serie A side are reluctant to make the move permanent on the terms originally agreed with Arsenal, even though Mancini suggested he would have liked to take a longer look at the forward.

Eighteen-year-old Assane Demoya Gnoukouri has not looked out of place in Inter's midfield.

Inter Milan followed up their derby draw with a home win against Roma at the Giuseppe Meazza this weekend. There is now potential for a run of form as they have improved immeasurably since beating Verona. It is also not a coincidence that this turn in fortune has coincided with the introduction of young midfielder Assane Demoya Gnoukouri, whose excellent displays are partly behind the team's improvements.

Thanks to goals from Hernanes and Mauro Icardi, the Nerazzurri produced a very competent…

ESPN FC's Brian McBride, Alejandro Moreno and Alexis Nunes weigh in on the transfer rumours surrounding Yaya Toure.

MANCHESTER — Manuel Pellegrini said Manchester City can offer Yaya Toure the new challenge to motivate him to stay at the Etihad Stadium.
Toure praised Paris Saint-Germain and his former manager Roberto Mancini, who wants to take him to Inter Milan, in an interview this week.
And the 31-year-old said his decision about his future would be motivated by the challenge a club offers, not the money on offer.
But Pellegrini feels City's quest to create more history can give the former Barcelona player…

Inter MIlan manager Roberto Mancini believes his side were denied a clear penalty in their goalless draw with rivals AC Milan.

When the smoke finally faded into the warm night air after last Sunday's Derby della Madonnina, the Nerazzurri likely looked back and wondered how they had not managed to secure all three points. There was no doubt that they were the better team, but Inter cannot stew on last Sunday's draw for too long. Now they face Roma, a wounded animal, who arguably are there for the taking. If Inter can add finishing to their game, then Roberto Mancini's side certainly have a chance against an old foe.
