It was very sad to see Inter not being able to continue in the Champions League. Because I think they could have gone further if they could get past this match. And it is also the way they were knocked out. They were knocked out through penalties. After having two legs of matches, it is definitely a little unlucky way to get knocked out. But it is what it is. Atletico Madrid was able to win, be it through penalties. I just thought we could see a good performance from Inter because they already have a great advantage in Serie A. So they would have put more concentration on the Champions League. But I guess they will have to be happy with only one trophy this season.
Inter Milan had everything to go farther in Champions League. With their domination and big differences against competitors in Serie A, they had good advantage to focus on Champions League. In two matches against Atletico Madrid, they created many opportunities and if they only had scored one more goal, they would have been able to beat Atletico Madrid.
Many conditions look to be perfect for Inter Milan to beat Atletico Madrid but their players wasted chances to finalize that match. At the end, on penalty spots, with support from fans at their home stadium, Atletico Madrid successfully beat Inter Milan.
This shocked defeat does not mean Inter Milan are bad in performance and poor in quality. They have to learn from mistakes, this hard lesson and come back stronger next season.
