At the microphones of Sky Sport, after Inter‘s 3-0 win over Feyenoord, journalist Paolo Condò analyzed the Nerazzurri’s performance at De Kuip: “After the Venezia match, Chivu spoke about provinciality, meaning, I believe, an ability to stay in the game for 90 minutes. I would simply call it tough. They always scored at the perfect moments to freeze the enthusiasm of the De Kuip crowd. Between the first and second goals, Feyenoord had some moments near the Nerazzurri’s area.”

Condò then framed the importance of the evening in the context of the season: “This match was do or die, the Champions League is an important part of Inter’s season. Marotta recalled before the match that in the league they have lost 3 games in the last 40, but only to Milan; otherwise, they have been and continue to be dominant. The home defeat to Bruges now weighs less.”

The journalist then compared the evening performances of Inter and Roma: “The matches were not so different tonight. It’s just that Inter has a long experience in this type of game and never allowed Feyenoord to get close. Roma, on the other hand, dropped too deep, as Cristante said.”

Finally, a reflection on the attitude needed in the Champions League: “In this competition, you score 4 goals per game. You have to do like PSG: always strike and keep pushing, because no one gives up. The idea of managing the result makes little sense in the Champions League.”
