Inter Milan must be taken into account in the competition for trophies, their increasing performance makes them very difficult to stop. The defeat in last season's final has shaped Inter Milan into a team that is better prepared to face all the challenges this season. Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid must be more alert when they meet Inter Milan because Simone Inzaghi's troops could make them go home sooner than expected. These four teams always appear consistently in the domestic league, if they make it to the semifinals it will create an ideal final this season.
Inter has been respected because they were runner up in the last season and they have an outstanding performance in their domestic league recently. So Inter will become a strong contender in this season.
In terms of consistency, Real Madrid is more consistent among other teams. I'm not referring to consistent for owning the most UCL's trophy, but the recent performance in domestic league.
It doesn't matter about Inter being runners up last season and still having good results at the moment in Serie A either because anyway, I personally still think Inter aren't that strong when it comes to competing with teams like Bayer Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City. So yes, no matter how well Inter perform at the moment I personally still believe that it will still be difficult for Inter to be able to reach the final match and even, for the semifinal match too I will doubt it.
After all, in the Champions League group stage this time too Inter only became the runner up of group D under Real Sociedad position and moreover, in the round of 16 this time too Inter will play against a team from LaLiga. So yes, playing against Atletico will also be a difficult match for Inter to qualify for the quarter-finals. So yes, I don't think it's right if Inter are said to be a threat to teams like Bayer Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City because after all, those three teams remain strong candidates in the Champions League this season.
