Chivu’s team plays well, but has too much amnesia: first European defeat. You see a great Lookman, Palladino puts a 10 Goddess on the pitch… like the points in the Champions League
Bitter-sweet Champions. Inter falls for the first time, surrenders in injury time to the bewitched Atletico, the restructured Atalanta instead spreads at the expense of Eintracht with a wonderful performance, which leaves everyone speechless. Our contingent on the fifth day of the 36-man phase collects nine points out of twelve, not bad compared to previous outings, thanks also to the successes of Napoli and Juventus. The great disappointment remains for the Inter fans, who were condemned at the end in Madrid, after having also had several opportunities to bring home another victory. Chivu’s team, therefore, does not receive what it would have deserved, at least one point: qualification is not put in danger, given that the Inter fans remain in the zone that guarantees direct access to the round of 16. The reflection, however, is another, beyond the intact chances in Europe and in Serie A: despite a good production of play and offensive actions, this time too Inter are resigned to leaving the pitch empty-handed. And to think that they always remained in the game after conceding a questionable goal, until they achieved a more than legitimate draw. Then the joke at the end, which greatly rewards the men led by Simeone, but which unfortunately makes it clear that in certain phases of the match more attention and less amnesia would be needed.
