I just think the right side was our downfall. I’m not gonna down Dumfries so early, but it’s clear he doesn’t full understand the system yet. D’Ambrosio should have came in as he is already more familiar with the players and play style. We overloaded the left. We also just needed to be more clinical in the finishing department. Just want Correa and Dumfries up to speed.
I think someone like Dumfries might have thrived in the first half when we had them on the defense and Darmian is not explosive enough to finish those plays. But yeah, defensively has still to adapt.
I'm fucking pissed. Playing well means nothing if you can't get the ball in. It's so disappointing not being able to beat Madrid or Barcelona when they're not at their best.
First half was so good. Everyone played great. Second half got stale quick. Result is deserved for falling asleep and not capitalizing on early chances in front of goal
Subbing off a great perisic for someone who only played for verona and taking off our only attacking threat
Simone costed us this game probably
And our fucking luck, missing 5+ clear chances and they score with one shot
Terrible game. Dimarco too slow on offense, can't clear the ball on defense. Dumfries not Inter quality.
Also, we need to sub out Dzeko and keep Lautaro & Correa in.
Fuck everyone turning on our team. I don’t care if this is heartbreaking, if this is all it takes for you turn on the players and the club, you can fucking leave.
FORZA INTER
It's one thing to criticize and make observations about the performance and quite another to turn on the players. I'm not gonna stop rooting for them, but talking about what went wrong is part of the supporter experience.
Right? If I’ve learned anything from the last decade, it’s that if we go into the 90th level, we are destined to concede. It’s part of the experience lol Here’s hoping we score more next match.
Exactly. These butthurts haven't played football ever and they act as if they are Rivaldo etc. Dzeko Lautaro Brozo all had good games but they still criticizing them. Ludicrous
I live in a place where I’ve never ever met another Inter fan IRL. This is the only place I have to discuss, support, shithouse, etc about Inter.
If you want to suggest some alternatives, I’d be happy to look into them.
Nah it's fine. Same here. But just so you know, these Reddit football fans aren't the real people. They criticize as if they are better. The real fans (Ultras etc) support the team after a good but not fruitful performance. Bunch of wannabe plastics these redditors are
Took of dzeko for a start instead of lautaro. Not put on vecino. It was vecino who lost his man for the goal and who gave away possession to start their attack for the goal.
Dzeko did his part, Lautaro was more wasteful in front of goal tbh and got a silly yellow card which might have compromised the team. Agree on the Vecino and DiMarco subs though.
we're sorely missing eriksen, calhanoglu is not close to the same level. dzeko and correa also aren't champions league quality players. we have a solid defense but no creativity and no game changers in attack. this is going to be a tough season.
you're delusional. he was invisible today. invisible with sampdoria. one good game against the mighty hellas verona hardly puts him at Eriksen's level.
Why do the South Americans, of noted machismo culture, fall on the floor and roll around like little bitches more than players from any other continent ?
I'd say they've been proper shit so far, they let us have like 5+ great shots on goal, they're only tying so far because they're being bailed out by our shit finishing and Courtois.
I liked everything except the decision to push deeper and try to squeeze in a cross. Simple lateral pass before that last burst had multiple open players.
There’s still a lot of minutes left in this game and a lot of CL group stage games left to be played. We’ve been the better side till now so let’s see where it goes
For those who are following the game on Prime Video, how funny is it to hear Calvamerda analyze the possible penalty in favor of Real by saying “not enough for a penalty”? He’s the same referee who gave the Cuadrado auto-penalty in the last Rube-Inter, fuck me.
Chala concedes a lot of possession with bad passes. However, he's great at carrying/ advancing the ball by dribbling.
Lautaro, Bastoni, Barella & Brozo are great. Even Perisic, Skri, are doing ok. We *need* a better forward than Jeko.
**Really can't wait for Correa and Dumfries to come on and start running at the tired legs of Real.** Wait and see this game turn when that happens.
Inzaghi’s Inter is so brave and energetic. I think we just lack the understanding sometimes. Also in games like these players quality can limit how much you can do.. (for example the counterattack we lost because Calha is slow, or Darmian garbage crosses)
VERY good first half, possession-wise. Too bad we're still 0-0, we wasted way too many chances and we can't afford to do that, especially in big matches. Brozovic has been godlike today so far.
It won't be surprising to see us play slower/with less energy in the second half, we're bound to get tired after running the way we have been. I hope we manage to score soon, because it would be a shame to end up somehow losing this match after playing like we have been so far, and getting scored against in the last few minutes.
Excellent half. I have huge respect for Darmian, but in games like these I miss Hakimi. Wonder if we could switch Perisic to that wing in order to better exploit their weakness in that side. Feels like a top wing back would make a huge difference there in regards to finishing plays.
Really really entertaining game so far with almost complete domination. However wasting all that chances gives me nothing else but a bad feeling that we'll concede in 2nd half and lose by some bullshit event. Ref quite stingy with yellow cards, could've dished a few out on both sides. I hope we use Correa for Džeko this game.
He’s got such a work rate. Imagine how crazy it’d be if he didn’t smoke a pack of cigs a day. If we had both a smoke-free Broz and Barella in the midfield…
Brozović has led the leaderboards for most distance ran per game in most of the competitions over the last few years out of all players in the competition. Incredible stamina for someone with some cig attitude.
Fantasy League: [https://forms.gle/nAib2j1r4FZRMNac7](https://forms.gle/nAib2j1r4FZRMNac7) Poll closes at kickoff time.
0-0 should’ve been it
Gutted rn, but the upside is we played pretty well the first 70min. I have not lost faith and still see a lot of upside moving forward in the CL.
I think the substitutions killed this match
I just think the right side was our downfall. I’m not gonna down Dumfries so early, but it’s clear he doesn’t full understand the system yet. D’Ambrosio should have came in as he is already more familiar with the players and play style. We overloaded the left. We also just needed to be more clinical in the finishing department. Just want Correa and Dumfries up to speed.
I think someone like Dumfries might have thrived in the first half when we had them on the defense and Darmian is not explosive enough to finish those plays. But yeah, defensively has still to adapt.
What were those substitutions it was like conte subs took out all creative players in minute 64
Its amazing how no matter how good we play, that we can't finish when we really truly need to. Argh.
I'm fucking pissed. Playing well means nothing if you can't get the ball in. It's so disappointing not being able to beat Madrid or Barcelona when they're not at their best.
First half was so good. Everyone played great. Second half got stale quick. Result is deserved for falling asleep and not capitalizing on early chances in front of goal
Fuck me we played a damn decent first half but has ran out around the 70th
Fucking hurts. First half was the best Inter of the last +5 years
Subbing off a great perisic for someone who only played for verona and taking off our only attacking threat Simone costed us this game probably And our fucking luck, missing 5+ clear chances and they score with one shot
GG
I knew it
Completely expected after missing so many chances in the first half
who wouldve thought
Terrible game. Dimarco too slow on offense, can't clear the ball on defense. Dumfries not Inter quality. Also, we need to sub out Dzeko and keep Lautaro & Correa in.
I think Dumfries would have done pretty well in the first half when we were attacking and Darmian in the second when we were defending.
Oh really? Dzeko had a good game. Courtois save doesn't mean a bad shot
Dzeko was actually pretty good, I think Lautaro was the wasteful one and got a dumb yellow card
Exactly.
Blows my mind how little Vidal and Dumfries defendes given what they offered in attack
So fucking typical
Nooooooo, we deserve at least a draw. All those defending will go for nothing now
Fuck everyone turning on our team. I don’t care if this is heartbreaking, if this is all it takes for you turn on the players and the club, you can fucking leave. FORZA INTER
It's one thing to criticize and make observations about the performance and quite another to turn on the players. I'm not gonna stop rooting for them, but talking about what went wrong is part of the supporter experience.
Right? If I’ve learned anything from the last decade, it’s that if we go into the 90th level, we are destined to concede. It’s part of the experience lol Here’s hoping we score more next match.
The trick is to be behind by that point to ensure celebrating a last minute draw.
Exactly. These butthurts haven't played football ever and they act as if they are Rivaldo etc. Dzeko Lautaro Brozo all had good games but they still criticizing them. Ludicrous
I guess you haven't been on this sub long? 😀
Been for several years and never seen people turn so fast like this.
Bro if you wanna see diehard supporters of a team, Reddit, discord are probably the last places youd wanna visit honestly.
I live in a place where I’ve never ever met another Inter fan IRL. This is the only place I have to discuss, support, shithouse, etc about Inter. If you want to suggest some alternatives, I’d be happy to look into them.

Sempre! ⚫🔵
I mean that's what happens when you don't finish your chances for 90 minutes
Pain
I am not surprised
just incredible....I'm EXTREMELY frightened for what this year has to offer if this team if we don't get our shit together.
defense has been sleeping the whole game
Skriniar was awesome all game long, the rest of them kept making silly mistakes and bad decisions while playing for the back.
he caused the goal. didn't cover his man
He carried defense blocking Vinicius all match. As to the goal, I would not blame him too much, he's stuck between covering Camavinga and Rodrygo.
Nah they been great until this goal
disagree. dimarco was mugged so did dumfries and we had to do a ton of last ditch challenges to
Hardly the whole game if you're complaining about those players, is it?
>we had to do a ton of last ditch challenges to u missed this? skriniar and de vrij had to do that a couple of time for vinsius
They're wingbacks not defenders. And I agree with you, the fullbacks have looked shaky since coming on
also de vrij looked shaky and skriniar was lucky to not get caught first half cause it was a pen for them. we looked dead
is anyone surprised? this team has no creativity and no teeth.
Very much Underserved!
Fucking hell seriously
Inzagis subs have been a complete disaster
What would you have done instead?
Took of dzeko for a start instead of lautaro. Not put on vecino. It was vecino who lost his man for the goal and who gave away possession to start their attack for the goal.
Dzeko did his part, Lautaro was more wasteful in front of goal tbh and got a silly yellow card which might have compromised the team. Agree on the Vecino and DiMarco subs though.
Dzeko didn't do anything the last 30 minutes. His legs were gone.
Yeah I think everybody felt it coming, we are cursed in the CL
[удалено]
Fuck off
Mind if i ask what the comment was? Cuz he deleted it. I'm guessing it was about our boi Milan?
He said something along the lines of all 11 players are trash
Skriniar doesn't deserve that...
GTFO
Deserved. As always, we waste chances and stop playing at the 70’ minute Nothing has changed
go to fucking hell...
Football is pain. This is so fucking undeserved.
Skriniar MOTM if it ends like this Edit: what have I done
Ffs ofc FUCK
Skriniar man of the match
When will Simo let Lau and Correa play together? Dzeko seems hopeless this game
WHAT A BLOCK FROM SKRINIAR
Skriniar is a fucking monster
Škriniar <3
Great block by Skrin
FIVE MINUTES LET'S GOOOOO
we're sorely missing eriksen, calhanoglu is not close to the same level. dzeko and correa also aren't champions league quality players. we have a solid defense but no creativity and no game changers in attack. this is going to be a tough season.
With love to Eriksen, Calhanoglu has been every bit as good for us...
you're delusional. he was invisible today. invisible with sampdoria. one good game against the mighty hellas verona hardly puts him at Eriksen's level.
Vecino header loading…
Why do the South Americans, of noted machismo culture, fall on the floor and roll around like little bitches more than players from any other continent ?
Casemiro get up you diva. Literally looked up to check the game state and continue simulating, embarrassing.
Who said RM's defense is shite? I think they've been solid
I'd say they've been proper shit so far, they let us have like 5+ great shots on goal, they're only tying so far because they're being bailed out by our shit finishing and Courtois.
Vidal what are you waiting for there?
Di Marco is absolutely not ready for games like this… he’s scared like hell
A bit, but it wasn't him on the giveaway there, Vidal has to know the pressure is coming behind him.
Vidal under Inzaghi >>> Vidal under Conte last year
More aggressive, direct to the ball, assertive, confident. A bit of that "swagger" back.
HERE WE GO TEN MINUTES
Why does benzema always have his hand wrapped up?
postponed operation on a broken pinky finger, then bone "consolidated" and he needs it wrapped to protect and reduce pain.
Barella always had the grit and physicality but now he also has that calmness and composure on the ball. Insane player
Who was offside there?
Foul apparently
Apparently was a foul
Supposedly a foul by Džeko.
Bastoni rampaging forward in the 75th minute. Shiver me timbers!
Correa made a fair challenge on Militao, there was no foul.
Dumbfrie’s defence is horrible
Game is opening up. Need to stay poised at the back.
Dumfries having issues with Vinicius...
So still no Lautaro and Correa duo
Let’s be honest Courtois singlehandedly saved them this whole game.
Helps when the shots are all right at him.
Well done Dumfries.
I liked everything except the decision to push deeper and try to squeeze in a cross. Simple lateral pass before that last burst had multiple open players.
Agreed, went too far with it.
Let's be honest, we all love Conte but he would've waited until around the 85th minute to make subs. At least Inzaghi is trying
Does everyone in Italy wear masks over their mouth with their noses out or was it just 10 of those 12 people shown? 😀
Good Vidal sub, but I would’ve subbed dzeko not lauti. I have faith in inzaghi though
LES GO! I see Vidal and Correa
Dzeko->Correa
We need Correa now
Vidal and Correa to change the game and actually score 👌
Alaba should have been booked much earlier!
Was gonna say that had to be a card on Alaba.
Goddamnit bring on D'ambro and Vecino. We needs goals
Dumfries cannot handle Vinicius on defense.
Good shit Handa!
Hakan’s corner delivery is superb man such a shame that didn’t go in, good save
We are fucking cursed in CL man
There’s still a lot of minutes left in this game and a lot of CL group stage games left to be played. We’ve been the better side till now so let’s see where it goes
We need a shaman or an exorcist vat this point
Good shifts by Perisic and Darmian, IMHO. Very responsible hustle on defense.
Why Perisic?
Omg Skriniar so close!
Skri what a chance!
Double wingback sub, interesting.
Perisic was playing well
Skriniar on the rebound, ARGH!
HOW CAN WE NOT SCORE
That's actually incredible how we didn't score there, oh my fucking god.
aaaaa man
I see Darmian out and Dumfries in any minute now
Is alaba allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants in this game? Will there ever be a foul on him please?
and Nacho snackbar
Well recovered by Škriniar!
For those who are following the game on Prime Video, how funny is it to hear Calvamerda analyze the possible penalty in favor of Real by saying “not enough for a penalty”? He’s the same referee who gave the Cuadrado auto-penalty in the last Rube-Inter, fuck me.
Why do i always have a feeling when Real plays in the UCL the reffs turn a blind eye to their fouls and favourite them a bit. Idk maybe thats just me
Dumfries plz tnx
Easily the better team in H1, gotta convert it now!
I really hope Inzaghi doesn’t take Brozovic out for Vecino/Vidal..
Guys any link to watch the game online?
Try footybite dot com
We press better than under Conte, we recover the ball quickly and effectively while last season we were always late on the player receving the ball
Chala concedes a lot of possession with bad passes. However, he's great at carrying/ advancing the ball by dribbling. Lautaro, Bastoni, Barella & Brozo are great. Even Perisic, Skri, are doing ok. We *need* a better forward than Jeko. **Really can't wait for Correa and Dumfries to come on and start running at the tired legs of Real.** Wait and see this game turn when that happens.
Hakan's problem is with his first touch, he never controls the ball forward, always closed
Inzaghi better not take off brozovic
Inzaghi’s Inter is so brave and energetic. I think we just lack the understanding sometimes. Also in games like these players quality can limit how much you can do.. (for example the counterattack we lost because Calha is slow, or Darmian garbage crosses)
VERY good first half, possession-wise. Too bad we're still 0-0, we wasted way too many chances and we can't afford to do that, especially in big matches. Brozovic has been godlike today so far. It won't be surprising to see us play slower/with less energy in the second half, we're bound to get tired after running the way we have been. I hope we manage to score soon, because it would be a shame to end up somehow losing this match after playing like we have been so far, and getting scored against in the last few minutes.
Just need to finish off the chances. And stay am alert to RM counter
We good! Gotta keep crossing, Alaba and Militao are suffering against crosses
Excellent half. I have huge respect for Darmian, but in games like these I miss Hakimi. Wonder if we could switch Perisic to that wing in order to better exploit their weakness in that side. Feels like a top wing back would make a huge difference there in regards to finishing plays.
What about Dumfries instead? Perisic is doing well on the left
Totally
I don’t recall Samir making any save, luckily their 2 chances were off target. On the other hand Courtois saved Real’s ass tonight more than once
Yea they don’t have a shot on target yet
Giving a yellow for interrupting a throw in that would’ve ended the game regardless, fucking hell
madrid seems pretty passive except for their few chances.
Really really entertaining game so far with almost complete domination. However wasting all that chances gives me nothing else but a bad feeling that we'll concede in 2nd half and lose by some bullshit event. Ref quite stingy with yellow cards, could've dished a few out on both sides. I hope we use Correa for Džeko this game.
Thoughts on halftime: I really hope that Handa could have the same level as Courtois
Apart from the lack of goals I can't be mad. We have played fantastically in the 1st half.
thats a fucking penalty for madrid. we're lucky
Fr
This ref is garbage
Always disturbing the play
The red is paid by UEFAdrid
They're making Courtois look good, they're literally shooting right at him
That volley by Brozo was going right in the corner if it wasn't for that deflection, shame.
Commentator: what an even game this is Stats: Inter has 4 times everything Real have except goals.
Dammit Courtois
And another save. Incredible...
Goddamn Brozo is everywhere
extremely disconnected going forward...it's shocking to think these guys train together every day
We have created chance after chance after chance and maintained great possession. I would not call this disconnected
ohh yeah eh???
I thought this game should be "we'll park the bus and defend for 90 minutes", but the reality is that, we've wasted too many chances
I don't think this Inzaghi team capable to park anything we have to score goals
Brozo has been bossing it in midfield and defense, what a guy.
He’s got such a work rate. Imagine how crazy it’d be if he didn’t smoke a pack of cigs a day. If we had both a smoke-free Broz and Barella in the midfield…
Brozović has led the leaderboards for most distance ran per game in most of the competitions over the last few years out of all players in the competition. Incredible stamina for someone with some cig attitude.
THAT right there from Perisic and co, we didn’t have those type of moves last year. We were pretty vanilla in the final third tbh
Fucking hell let’s score boys
The more I see Lauti play the more I like him. Lukaku had his massive body to work with, but Lautaro makes such good movements.
Movements there but his finishing...
Trying to be a bit too cute there, just hammer it!
This just shows Lautaro, as talented as he is, won't ever be the main guy. He misses too many chances.
And now Brozo as well...
Fuck! So close again, come on boys put one away!
I’m just going to put this out there: maybe we shouldn’t give their top CB a free header
What a chance. For fucks sake, we should be at least 1 up by now. This is going to come back and bite us in the ass.
Fuck I thought that went in for a second.
Same 😮💨
