Inter Milan has just gone through a very tough week. Inter Milan suffered three consecutive defeats. Will this moment be a sign that Inter Milan is experiencing a downfall?
On April 17, 2025, Inter Milan drew 2-2 against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 8. Not an optimal result, but enough to take Inter through to the semifinals because they were ahead on aggregate.
This success made optimism soar in the Inter Milan camp. In fact, talk of a treble began to be blown from La Pinetina or Inter’s training base. They wanted to match the record of the 2010 season.
However, from the talk of a treble, Inter quickly had to come down to earth. They seemed to be forced down the hard way, with three consecutive defeats.
“I should have corrected my statement (about the treble) again and said quadruple, because we also have a chance for the Club World Cup at the end of the season,” said coach Simone Inzaghi in early March 2024.
However, football is not all what Inzaghi said. Inter, from the treble opportunity when eliminating Bayern Munich from the Champions League, seemed to experience a downfall. A bad situation suddenly came!
Inter lost 0-1 to Bologna in the 33rd week of Serie A. After that, Inter lost 0-3 to AC Milan in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia. Then, lost with a score of 0-1 at home to AS Roma in the 34th week of Serie A.
The three defeats made Inter Milan fail to win the Coppa Italia. Inter, from being three points ahead, is now three points behind Napoli in the Serie A standings. Only four matches remain for Inter and Napoli in Serie A.
Inter Milan’s opportunity to win the scudetto is not closed, but it is very difficult. The opportunity to win the Champions League also feels heavy. Because, Barcelona is in the best form after winning the Copa del Rey.
“If this is the real version of Inter, with two games against Barcelona, they will have difficulty getting results against anyone,” said former player Paolo Di Canio to Sky Sport.
“I might agree about the physical issues, but after 15 rounds, Inter already have seven points less than the previous season. Motivation makes the difference,” added the former Lazio player.
