Inter Milan will take on Borussia Dortmund in a high-stakes UEFA Champions League clash tonight.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, a fourth consecutive European defeat would be a disaster for the Nerazzurri.

Cristian Chivu had enjoyed a dream start to his Champions League journey as a manager.

Indeed, Inter won their opening four league-phase fixtures before suffering three losses in a row.

Furthermore, all three defeats came against top teams, namely Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

Trailing eighth-placed Chelsea by a point, Inter cannot afford another slip-up at Signal Iduna Park.

However, the San Siro giants have notoriously struggled in high-profile games this season.

Therefore, tonight’s showdown could be a chance for Chivu’s men to secure a statement victory.

Given Dortmund’s well-documented home prowess, that could prove easier said than done.

Even a win in Germany may not be enough to steer the Nerazzurri back to the top eight.

Still, it would help the team leave behind recent failures.
