After five years and nearly 200 matches, Inter’s reign as kings of Serie A has come to an end.  Perhaps it was an inevitable truth, considering how far the Nerazzurri fell behind during the first few months of the season.  Regardless, it hurt no less this past Saturday evening watching cross town rivals Milan celebrate their Scudetto win. While celebrations were taking place on the other side of town, it was back to business at Appiano Gentile.  The squad had [...]

The script may change, but the plot stays the same: Go down a goal, only to come back in the second half and win in dramatic fashion. Yet, the only thing that was similar between last week’s match against Lazio and this past weekend’s away match to Cesena was the 2-1 scoreline in favour of Inter. While a relatively easy match when looked at on paper, the trip to the Dino Manuzzi was always going to be a tricky tie. [...]

The Easter holiday held a perfect metaphor for Inter, as this past weekend saw the resurrection of something that had been severely lacking through April: a return of the Nerazzurri’s fighting spirit.

To say it has been a good week for Inter is an understatement. Following the amazing comeback versus Bayern Munich, the only vibes coming from Appiano Gentile were ones of positivity and joy. With that being said, it was always going to be an uphill psychological encounter against Lecce, who is battling relegation. Before the weekend matchup, there were two events that held the attention of the Nerazzurri.Everyone knows how Samuel Eto’o delivers on the pitch, but many may not [...]

Leading up to the second leg, Champions League Round of 16 tie away to Bayern Munich, it had been a relatively tough week for Inter.  After the club celebrated its 103rd birthday on March 9, the Nerazzurri were held to a fortunate 1 – 1 draw at Brescia.  [...]
