"We know there's a lot of competitiveness in the Champions League. If teams get to this stage it means they have something. And they have proved that. They showed it against Dortmund, against Madrid, against City, against us twice. It's a team which has energy. We could have done better in Norway, we could have done better today, too, but unfortunately it didn't go how we wanted."
"The signs were there last season that not all was right at Inter. The club reached the Champions League final but was crushed 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain. It also lost to AC Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals and finished runner-up to Napoli in Serie A."
Inter Milan experienced a dramatic collapse in European competition, exiting the Champions League in the playoff round to Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt with a 5-2 aggregate defeat. This represents a stunning reversal from last season when Inter reached the Champions League final. The loss occurred despite Inter being considered favorites, with the team missing key players Lautaro Martínez and Hakan Çalhanoglu to injury. Bodø/Glimt's victory ranks among the biggest Champions League upsets, following their earlier impressive results against Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund. Inter's decline reflects broader struggles, including a 5-0 Champions League final loss to PSG last season and managerial changes, with Simone Inzaghi replaced by Cristian Chivu.
