Inter Milan Season Can Have Happy Ending As Club Turns Focus To Scudetto After Embarrassing Champions League Exit | OneFootball

Inter Milan are determined to ensure this season ends differently to the last, with the Scudetto now the undisputed priority after their Champions League exit at the playoff stage left a bitter taste across the club.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, the arrival of Cristian Chivu in place of Simone Inzaghi changed everything.

Especially in terms of how Inter approach domestic competition.

The league title was placed front and centre from day one.

And, with Inter depending only on themselves in Serie A, unlike the unpredictable nature of European football, the path ahead is clearer than it has been for some time.

Inter Milan Aim Not To Go Trophy-Less

The ghost haunting the club is last season’s “zero tituli,” a trophy-less campaign that poisoned the summer.

The memory of gifting the Scudetto to Antonio Conte at the decisive moment is still fresh.

Combined with the 5-0 Champions League humiliation, which left scars that have not fully healed.

Avoiding a repeat is the driving force behind everything Inter do between now and the end of the campaign.

The contrast with Inzaghi’s current situation at Al-Hilal is not lost on the Italian press.

The former Inter coach returned to winning ways yesterday with a five-goal victory over Al-Shabab.

Therefore temporarily silencing talk of his dismissal, a reminder of how quickly football can turn.

For Chivu, the mission is simpler but no less important.

To deliver silverware and give Inter fans a summer to celebrate for the first time in two years.
