Less than two months have passed since the sensational feat of Lautaro and members against Flick’s team, today the Nerazzurri world has vertically turned upside down. And the split group

2 July – 18:37 – MILAN

You are May 2025 Then of Acerbi, who with a pure striker scratch lengthened the challenge to the Blaugrana to extra time; And of Frattesi, who completed the comeback on Flick’s team, cheering up to lose his breath. The level of adrenaline had splashed to the stars. Dreams touched each other. And, Italian Cup aside, everything was still open: Inter flew to Europe with an epic journey and with the belief that the PSG had a technically stronger team, but also less ready – or accustomed – to a stage like a Champions League final, while in the championship the challenge to Napoli was not yet compromised definitively. A half -step of Conte’s team was enough, then arrived and sensationally spoiled. The doblete, with the world goal to be chasing shortly after, was still there, in plain sight, at hand. Fifty -five days after that magical evening with Barcelona guest at San Siro, the Nerazzurri world literally turned upside down. And the “titles” remained there still, at zero altitude, despite the fact that Inter had 5 competitions from which to draw at least one (Serie A, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup).

From euphoria to depression

It is true that the season has been long, tiring, exhausting, but Inter started with the strongest rose in Italy and came from a remarkable growth in Europe. Finding himself today to discuss what he could have been, and instead has not been and will not be, already at the start is the most disappointing defeat of all. But as a team was able to collapse so vertiginously that until not even two months ago was running on the most prestigious competitions, finding himself split in two? Inter-Barcelona was the greatest illusion in the recent history of the Nerazzurri: that team really seemed that of the “unjust”, capable of overturning a destiny written not only with the Blaugrana but also in the championship.

Farewell Scudetto

The victory over Turin on 11 May and the draw of Napoli with Genoa al Maradona had reduced the distance in the head and postponed any championship speech to the penultimate day. A week later, Conte’s team did not win in the Parma of Chivu and put the Scudetto in the hands of Inter. It was enough to win against a far from unbeatable Lazio. Indeed, it was just enough to manage the advantage over the biancocelesti – found moreover to just 10 ‘from the end – to present yourself at the last Curva di Como with three quarters of title sewn on them. And instead … Bisseck’s hands, Pedro’s penalty in 90 ‘, Farewell. Not the ideal way to present yourself to the Champions League final against PSG.

completed disaster

In the Inter house still today – more than a month later – nobody can explain the evening of Monaco. A disastrous approach, the worst game of the season, fear, intimidated expressions and nothing else. A 5-0 cannot even be commented. It only looked like the perfect ending for a tragedy. Instead – it seems incredible but it is so – everything went further worsening: Inzaghi’s doubts, Simone’s farewell to move to the Al -Hilal with which (he yes) he will play the quarterfinals of the club world championship, the controversy, the accusations, the prolonged attempt to snatch Fabregas from Como, the two of spades collected by Cesc and the Choom Chivu in Extremis. Which, however, is not (still?) Managed to transform the strawberry part into a slow ascent.

final shoulder strap

The world debut against Monterrey, a world championship ended badly despite the victory against the Urawa Red Diamonds, the positive recovery against the River Plate that seemed to have returned a little oxygen to Inter and above all to have given them the good side of the scoreboard. Fluminense in the round of 16, potential quarters against one between Al-Hilal and Manchester City, avoid PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund all from the opposite side. Well, right? No. With the Fluminense the sensational elimination, then the words to the vitriolo of Lautaro and Marotta towards the absent Calhanoglu, the response of the Turkish and a split group. All this, but everything, just in 55 days. From 6 May to 30 June. From the stars with Barcelona on post-Fluminense flames. And who knows what will be the next episodes of a thriller TV series that risks transforming itself into tragic.
