😱 Inter embarrassed 3-1 in Bodø, Hauge stars 🔝, Lautaro injured 🚑 | OneFootball

Italy goes three for three and it's not a positive thing. To hope to bring all its teams to the Champions League round of 16, Serie A will need at least seven goals between Atalanta, Juve, and Inter in next week's return matches. Given how things went yesterday and today, it's at least difficult to imagine such a scenario.

After the Bianconeri and the Dea, our league leader also falls, and it does so against a significantly inferior opponent. It was cold in Bodø (not that much, really), the field is synthetic, and many big teams have lost in this stadium: fair enough. But before the match, Chivu himself emphasized not wanting excuses, so we won't give any.

The second half for the Nerazzurri was too bad to be true, with two goals conceded in three minutes, then nothing, and Sommer having to save from the home team's fourth goal. Even the substitutions led to nothing and, in some cases, worsened the situation.

Many performed poorly: from Barella, increasingly distant from what he once was, to a Sucic who - although his quality is undeniable - too often seems not to have the right pace to be a starter in the Champions finalist, to the blatant errors of Lautaro Marinez in front of an open goal. The captain then left due to a calf strain that worries everyone. In short, everything went wrong today.

In six days at San Siro, a half miracle will be needed, not so much because of the quality of the opponents, but because of the gap. Recovering two goals is a lot, even against a team that is inferior on paper, but it should be remembered that they reached the playoffs by winning in the last round of the single group stage at Atletico Madrid's home.

A much better Inter than the one seen today will be needed, hoping it will be enough.

🔚 IT ENDS HERE: Bodø-Inter 3-1

🧱 Carlos blocked!

In the 85th minute, Inter tries again with Bonny's run, who looks for Thuram in the middle.

The ball reaches Carlos Augusto, who tries twice but is blocked for a corner.

😰 Sommer closes it!

Inter risks a heavy defeat, as they are now all forward and leave space for the Norwegians' counterattacks!

On one of these, in the 81st minute, Sommer has to save in two stages by diving on Helmersen's left shot.

🚑 Lautaro substituted due to an issue!

Before the 2-1 goal, Chivu replaced Lautaro with Thuram. Not just a tactical change, though, as the Nerazzurri captain immediately went to the locker room.

Calf issue for him and conditions to be evaluated.

⚽️ And the third comes! Inter very bad!

Incredible in Norway, Bodo scores again! Inter in disarray: Bodo goes centrally again, Chivu's line fails to hold the offside and puts Blomberg in front of Sommer.

Number 11 is good at keeping calm and serving Hogh for the easiest of tap-ins!

⚽️ Bodø takes the lead, Hauge scores!

Out of nowhere, Inter concedes again! Ball lost and Norwegian counterattack, with Hogh arriving centrally!

Number 9 spreads to former Milan player Hauge, who beats Sommer under the crossbar! Poor from Akanji here, who leaves too much space for the shot. It's 2-1 in the 61st minute.

😳 What a miss by Inter!

Huge chance for the Nerazzurri right after the break! In the 46th minute, Barella beautifully chips for Pio Esposito, who starts in a regular position but misses the impact while sliding!

The ball remains at his feet, and Pio is good at laying it off for Lautaro, who, however, doesn't hit well from close range! The ball bounces between two Bodo players and hits the post!

☕️ End of the first half!

It's 1-1 so far between Bodø/Glimt and Inter. A dynamic first half ends, with the Norwegians taking the lead in the 21st minute and the Nerazzurri equalizing with Pio Esposito in the 30th minute.

Also a post for Chivu's team, in the 26th minute with Darmian. In the end, Pio was booked for pulling down an opponent's shirt to stop the counterattack.

🤏 Another chance!

Inter pushes and in the 42nd minute nearly takes the lead. On Carlos Augusto's shot-cross, Pio fails to make contact, and the ball hits a Bodø player before going out for a corner.

The Norwegians were lucky here because behind the yellow-black defender was Lautaro all alone!

⚽️ Pio! It's him again, 1-1

Inter equalizes in the 30th minute with the man of the moment, Pio Esposito! Great cross from Barella, who finds Carlos Augusto at the far post. The Brazilian makes contact, but the ball stays there.

The first to notice is Pio Esposito, who turns and fires into the net! A slight scare for a VAR check for a possible handball by Carlos Augusto, but everything is good.

Pio thus becomes the 2nd youngest Inter player to score in a Champions League knockout stage, after Oba-Oba Martins!

💥 Damian hits the post! Then Barella wastes it

Inter reacts immediately, first with Darmian, who in the 26th minute volleys the cross from the left and hits the post with the outside of his right foot!

In the 28th minute, Barella frees himself well in the area, but his shot is more of a pass to the Norwegian goalkeeper...

⚽️ Bodø takes the lead!

And after a convincing start by Inter, in the 21st minute, Bodø gained ground until the goal. Beautiful vertical play, with Evjen finding Høgh centrally. Number 9 is excellent with a backheel pass to the oncoming Fet, who looks at Sommer and scores!

Quick action, with Inter's defense caught too easily!

🤔 Watch out for the bounce...

The ball's trajectory changes significantly once it hits the ground, compared to a natural grass field.

Acerbi risks struggling to control one, as the last man. Attention is definitely needed.

💥 Inter starts strong!

Strong start by the Nerazzurri, who began with the right mentality and took possession of the Norwegian half, also managing to create two threats!

In the 5th minute, Sucic plays a vertical ball for Lautaro, who waits too long and gets blocked from a great position! A minute later, a good ball reaches Mkhitaryan, who, however, shoots high from the penalty spot!

🧨 Chivu: "No EXCUSES!", Marotta: "Bastoni? Bitterness!"

Beppe Marotta, president of Inter, spoke to Sky Sport before the Champions League match.

"Bastoni case? A page that left bitterness. Since Oaktree arrived, we have invested, and we consider ourselves lucky in this sense. I'm not skeptical about the funds. Stankovic? We have a buyback right, and we didn't put it there by chance."

Chivu, Inter's coach, speaks to Prime Video before the match against Bodo:

"Field? It shouldn't change anything and shouldn't worry us. We must be mentally and physically ready to accept the conditions; if you look for excuses and alibis, you risk not making it."
