Inter Milan & Italy Superstar Defender Endures Woeful Champions League Campaign | OneFootball

Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni has underperformed in several Champions League fixtures this season.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, his mistakes cost the Nerazzurri dearly in their last two European outings.

Despite his elite status, Alessandro Bastoni has struggled with inconsistent performances this term.

For example, the Italian media has slammed the 26-year-old for his disappointing showings for Italy.

However, he has been a rock for Inter in Serie A, consistently providing solid defensive displays.

Though Bastoni has been impressive in league action, his continental performances have often left much to be desired.

Indeed, his sluggish reaction at the Metropolitano Stadium helped Atletico Madrid see off Inter 2-1.

Bastoni lost track of Jose Maria Gimenez, who headed home a last-minute winner for Los Colchoneros.

Furthermore, he was the main culprit for Liverpool’s controversial 1-0 triumph at San Siro on Tuesday.
