Inter Milan journey last season was truly dismal. They were on track to win the treble, but ultimately, they were unlucky in all competitions. Squad depth, in my opinion, is crucial, and the scale of priorities set will affect consistency in each match across various competitions. With the pressure exerted by Napoli last season, Simone Inzaghi struggled to stabilize his team performance.
Next season, I think Inter Milan will still be a team to be reckoned with in the Scudetto race, but their Champions League campaign seems unlikely to be the same. Inter Milan likely won't reach the final like last season, so Cristian Chivu should focus on fighting for the Scudetto in his first season.
Last season Inter Milan had great run to Champions League final but they did not win treble and could not beat strong Napoli team for domestic league title. For upcoming season it seems unlikely they will reach Champions League final again. With important players gone and potential new coach in Cristian Chivu it makes more sense for Inter to focus on winning domestic league title.
Inter Milan played well until the Champions League final last season but they failed to win the treble and their domestic trophy due to showing something unusual in the final but with the upcoming season in mind, the way each team in this league is buying players in a row it looks like they might be making progress in that area as well. However this team could not win the Champions League final, but Denzel Dumfries managed to finish a great season for which we can see him in the competition for the Ballon d'Or. Although this player may not win this award, he may have been able to bring some respect to his club, which proves that this team may be able to properly educate their players who have a worthy role to prove themselves in big tournaments.
Long before they entered the Champions League final, Inter Milan were certain of losing the Italian league title and many thought that perhaps because they focused too much on the Champions League matches, they did not focus well on the local league matches, which is why they could not achieve good points in the league. The Champions League final really created a bad experience for Inter Milan and the fans because Inter Milan was defeated by PSG by a huge margin of 5-0 goals in the final match. Although the margin of victory or defeat in the quarter-finals or other matches is so high, no team has usually won or lost by such a margin in the final match in the last few years.
Inter Milan feels really bad because before that, they came very close to winning against Manchester City in the Champions League final, last season they lost by a big margin to PSG. In other words, although they had a hard time qualifying for the final, they could not perform like that for the desired result in the final match, which is definitely a failure for them.
