Italian journalist Fabio Caressa believes Inter Milan have decided to focus on winning the Scudetto title, which may have caused their disappointing Champions League exit.

The Nerazzurri suffered an embarrassing elimination from Europe’s elite club competition.

The San Siro outfit may have suffered a historic defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain last season, but they had at least reached the final of the competition.

On the contrary, Inter bid the tournament farewell as early as the play-off round this time around.

Moreover, Cristian Chivu’s men were beaten by Bodo/Glimt, an aspiring European club from Northern Norway.

The Scandinavians didn’t only beat the Serie A leaders at home, but also confirmed their advantage at San Siro. In the end, the final aggregate result showed 5-2.

This outcome has certainly left many depressed Inter fans around the world. In order take their mind off it, many Nerazzurri supporters found solace through Rocketplay instant withdrawal casino, where online casino enthusiats can enjoy some of the most enjoyable games on the web.

Nevertheless, the good news for Inter is that they remain on the right track towards securing their 21st league title. Last weekend, they beat Lecce 2-0 to maintain their 10-point gap over their closest chasers, AC Milan.

Moreover, they have an inviting opportunity to complete a domestic brace, as they have reached the semi-final of the Coppa Italia, alongside Como, Lazio, and Atalanta.

In fact, Caressa believes that ther the Nerazzurri decided to focus on the domestic front, realising they don’t have enough depth to compete on all fronts.

Fabio Caressa Explains Why Inter Milan Suffered Early UCL Elimination

Last season, the Nerazzurri fought for the Scudetto and the Champions League until the very end, before coming out empty-handed.

Hence, the Sky Sport presenter feels Chivu wants to avoid the scenario his predecessor, Simone Inzaghi, had endured last term.

“I didn’t expect that. I don’t think Inter chose to exit the Champions, but the lineup they used in the first leg against Bodo/Glimt tells us that at the same time it was a somewhat conservative choice,” argued Caressa in his interview with Il Messaggero via FcInterNews.

“Like they decided to rationalise the season, burnt by what happened last year, with a three-front campaign that ended without trophies.

“Maybe they thought more rationally than last season, a bit afraid of flopping the season. I was a bit surprised to hear some post-match comments that were modest and not deeply disappointed.

“Certainly a team that reached the Champions League final and exits in the playoffs against a team like Bodo, even if very well organised, is a flop — at least in terms of the European journey.

“I think Inter understood they didn’t have the strength to compete until the end on all fronts and mentally this partly influenced them.”
