Inter Milan have been very impressive this season both in the Italian domestic competitions and in the European Cup but unfortunately for them, they were eliminated in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League competition which has made a lot of people to question their depth and strength as a team. When they were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the first knockout stage of the competition this season, I knew it will surely be a very difficult tie for them but I never predicted that they were going to be eliminated from the competition by Atletico Madrid.
However, after the result of the first match of the tie, I became more worried for Inter Milan because I know how difficult it is to play against Atletico Madrid in their own home ground. Inter Milan actually fought a good fight but it wasn't enough for them to go through.
Now that they're eliminated from the UEFA Champions League competition, I'm of the opinion that Inter Milan are going to focus on the Italian league and will surely win it at the end of the season
To me this is actually the most surprising outcome in the Champions League so far. I put them on one level with Manchester City and Real Madrid and the fact that it was an inconsistent and erratic Atletico Madrid that eliminated them somehow makes me sad. I would have liked to see them further play in the Champions League. They are an incredibly strong and balanced team and it is too bad that some of their best penalty takers failed when they couldn't afford to do so. In my opinion it is a loss to the Champions League competition now as they played great football. But it is not always the best team that wins, which is ok. But if I had the choice, I would go with Inter instead of Atletico all the time.
Intermilan was not playing badly but it's just unlucky caused by it was playing away. Intermilan did some horrible executions duringt he penalty and this is also makig the situation worst when the first failed penalty was happening. It gives major impact to the next executors even lautaro martinez lost his cnofidence to execute it.
that's why his shoots were going up and became very inaccurate. The early executors must able to help club to win the title of this season. Winning scudetto is more than enough for intermilan fans. I do agree with you if the result against ATM totally unpredictable.
None ever imagined that how intermilan lost the game against ATM which is a shameful result for intermilan even though the club was performing so perfect in this match,
I agree with you that the outcome of this match was completely unexpected. None of us expected such a result. At the same time I want to say that Inter Milan were very unlucky in this match. Otherwise, the team would not have lost against Atletico Madrid.
Inter Milan players missed all 3 penalties against Atletico Madrid. The important thing is that 3 goals were missed by the best three players in Inter Milan's squad. Hard to accept that Martinez, Sanchez and Klaassen will miss penalties. All three are excellent players, but all three have missed. It is nothing but bad luck.
Inter Milan should now focus on Serie A. However, the Serie A title will easily be won by the Inter Milan team. The Inter Milan team is ahead of AC Milan in the second place of the table by a big gap of 16 points.
