Atletico Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Fail To Break Negative Trend At Metropolitano Stadium | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid squeezed past Inter Milan in last night’s mouth-watering Champions League showdown at the Metropolitano Stadium.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Los Rojiblancos’ narrow 2-1 win maintained Inter’s disappointing trend in ‘big matches.’

Inter sought redemption after slumping to a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat in the Milan derby last weekend.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri headed into proceedings on a four-game winning streak in the Champions League.

Therefore, another win in Madrid would have probably sealed Inter’s automatic last-16 qualification.

However, Diego Simeone’s side got the better of the San Siro giants.

Los Colchoneros inflicted Inter’s first defeat in the Champions League under Cristian Chivu.

Yet, it was also Inter’s fifth loss in all competitions this season after losing to AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, and Udinese.

Therefore, it’s fair to say that the Nerazzurri are unable to convert strong performances into victories against top teams.

Despite creating chances and showing attacking intent, Inter lacked the clinical edge to overcome Simeone’s rock-solid backline.
