Bodo/Glimt Vs Inter Milan – Oaktree Prefers Champions League Glory Over Another Serie A Title | OneFootball

Inter Milan will take on Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout playoff tie tonight.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Oaktree has urged Cristian Chivu to prioritize European commitments over Serie A.

Despite leading the way in the domestic championship, Cristian Chivu must ensure Inter achieve another standout result in Europe.

Indeed, the San Siro giants have reached two Champions League finals in the last three years.

However, former manager Simone Inzaghi couldn’t replicate Jose Mourinho’s memorable success from 2010 as Inter lost both finals.

Although Inter started this European campaign with four straight wins, they failed to secure another top-eight finish.

Therefore, they will continue their Champions League journey in the knockout playoffs.

Despite Inter’s strong pre-tie favoritism, they would be naive to underestimate Bodo/Glimt.

For context, the Norwegian champions have already claimed two significant victories this season.

Indeed, they beat Atletico Madrid and Manchester City in the league phase, highlighting the size of the task ahead.
