The second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final ended with a resounding and disappointing defeat for Inter against Milan. It was a display lacking in character from the Nerazzurri, who were unable to find a reaction, especially during the second half at the crucial moment of the match. Before finally turning the page, let’s analyze what happened last night at San Siro with “Five things we learned from Inter-Milan”.
There were too many missed chances. Then came Jovic’s goal, and with it, symbolically, the lights went out at San Siro. In this match, the team seemed tired, drained, almost annoyed by their mere presence on the pitch, while Milan—let’s be honest—approached the match as if it were a Champions League final. And indeed, for the Rossoneri, this truly was the final of their season. They prepared for it with every ounce of energy, approached it with determination, and deservedly won. Congratulations to them, capable of tactically outplaying Inter in every direct clash this year, backed by individuals able to make the difference at key moments.
If you’re looking for a silver lining, perhaps the only one is that Inter has shed a weight in a European calendar that is literally squeezing every top club dry. But it’s a small consolation. Because in a season where much more could have been achieved, saying goodbye to the Coppa Italia like this leaves a bitter aftertaste. We would have liked to be there fighting for everything, right up to the end.
Amid the ruins of this defeat, something can be salvaged. Above all, one name: Yann Bisseck. Starting in the lineup, he showed focus and a competitive aggression worthy of the biggest nights. For long stretches, he managed to keep a tough opponent like Leao at bay, only succumbing at the end, exhausted by fatigue. If everyone had shown his ferocity on the pitch, perhaps the story would have been different.
The issue, however, is structural. It was said already after the night in Madrid last year, and now the alarm bell rings even louder: real reinforcements are needed. A deeper squad is necessary, with reliable options. Because this group is going beyond its limits. The European commitment, the cups, the league: everything takes its toll, and without valid alternatives, it becomes unsustainable.
The two consecutive defeats, at Bologna and in the Derby, without even a single goal scored, are a serious warning sign. This is a crucial, delicate phase of the season. Like all of Europe’s big clubs, Inter too is paying a very high price for this exhausting schedule. Hopefully, these are the last wildcards used up. With the return of the injured—Dumfries, Zielinski, and Thuram—the final stage begins. Starting with the match against Roma, everything will be needed. Because now, every match could be the decisive one.
