Inter Milan Contingent “Betray” Italy In Most Important Game Since EURO 2020 Final | OneFootball

Inter Milan stars failed to live up to expectations on Tuesday as Italy fell to a heartbreaking loss to Bosnia & Herzergovina. 

Corriere dello Sport made a shocking accusation, blaming the Nerazzurri contingent for the Azzurri’s defeat, as reported by FCInterNews.

What seemed almost unfathomable until recently turned into a harsh reality earlier this week, as Italy bowed out of the FIFA World Cup playoffs.

Indeed, Bosnia seized the numerical advantage to beat Gennaro Gattuso’s side in the final after an awful penalty shootout.

However, the game should have never gone that far, yet the Italians paid the price for the expulsion of Alessandro Bastoni late in the first half.

Bastoni’s mindless tackle on Amar Memic marked the beginning of the end for the four-time world champions in Zenica.

Then, the Bosnians exposed Federico Dimarco’s defensive shortcomings, exploring the Nerazzurri star’s weaknesses in the second half.

After finding a late equalizer through Haris Tabakovic, Sergej Barbarez’s side eased past Italy on penalties.

Indeed, Francesco Pio Esposito and Bryan Cristante fluffed his lines from the spot, with the Inter starlet squandering the first penalty.

As a result, the Azzurri have missed out on a third consecutive World Cup finals for the first time in the nation’s history.
