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.
I also have that feelings that Inter will go far this season because they have being consistence with their games and if you look at their performance this season, it is an outstanding one. Last season, they proved that they were good but they couldn't stop Man City from winning the trophy.
