Inter Milan Legend Slams Nerazzurri After Derby d’Italia Defeat: “Fourth-Place Team Along With Roma” | OneFootball

Beppe Bergomi does not view Inter Milan as viable Serie A title contenders, especially after a 4-3 defeat at Juventus.

Speaking to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri legend deemed last season’s runners-up unequipped to fight for the Scudetto.

Despite recovering from an early deficit, Inter slumped to a gut-wrenching loss in Turin on Saturday.

Indeed, Cristian Chivu’s side turned the game on its head despite trailing twice in the first half.

Heavily linked with a summer exit, Hakan Calhanoglu delivered a standout performance.

The Turkish playmaker bagged a brace, beating Michele Di Gregorio from outside the box on both occasions.

Furthermore, Marcus Thuram returned to the scoresheet in a high-stakes game to complete the turnaround.

However, his brother, Khephren Thuram, initiated Juventus’ comeback seven minutes from time.

Finally, Vasilije Adzic landed a knockout blow in the first minute of stoppage time with a long-range screamer.

In all fairness, Yann Sommer bore much responsibility for both goals.

Now is not the time for pointing fingers.

Instead, it’s time for unity and collective focus as Inter risks dropping out of the Scudetto race in the early stage of the season.

Indeed, Chivu’s charges have suffered back-to-back defeats after a 5-0 rout of Torino on the opening weekend.

As a result, they already trail pacesetters Napoli and Juventus by six points.

However, Bergomi believes they stand no chance in the title battle.

“I don’t need the third matchday,” he stated. “I would’ve said it after the second or even the first.

“Napoli and Juventus are ahead of everyone, but Napoli are really strong.

“Milan’s latest signings, combined with the fact they only play one game a week, put the Rossoneri in the second tier.

“Behind them, I place Roma and Inter on the same level.”
