Football is a miracle. It’s hard to find another sport where, like in football, ninth in the league can feel like flying high after winning a derby while at the same time, the league leader and Champions League semi-finalist begins to feel vulnerable and worries that he could end up with nothing. And they were aiming for everything.Not since that historic season a decade and a half ago, when Jose Mourinho led them to the Treble, has Inter Milan been in a position like the one Simone Inzaghi has put them this year. They were fighting for all trophies until nearly the very end. And they didn’t give up on any of them, but the trophy harvest hasn’t started promisingly. To make matters worse for the reigning Italian champions, it’s not unrealistic that this season could end in disaster.Reinvented Jovic nails a brace to destroy Inter’s dream of TrebleOf the four potential trophies, two have already slipped from Inter’s hands, and both thanks to Milan. Their city rivals topped them in the final of the Italian Super Cup, and then again last night in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia. Now, Inter are on a path that could easily lead to a collapse.”This is football, you have to give credit to Milan. There’s regret over the first half, because based on what we created, we deserved more. In the second half we conceded from a corner and luck wasn’t on our side. After that, we did much less than in the first half. Of course, I’m concerned, we’re not used to losing two games in a row. We have to analyze both losses properly. In Bologna, we didn’t deserve to lose, and tonight, we ran out of energy in the second half. We’ve struggled against Milan all year. We all have to do better, starting with me,” said Inzaghi after the match.##NAJAVA_MECA_8877532##On top of all that, there’s a two-legged clash with Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals. Napoli, on the other hand, has no other obligations and can fully focus on the Serie A title race. Fatigue is starting to show and is impacting results. Just three days before the Milan tie, Inter were beaten by Bologna in Serie A, and they haven’t suffered back-to-back defeats in nearly two years, since April 2023.Now it has happened at the worst possible moment, just as the season reaches its climax. That’s why the fear among Inter fans that they’ll end up empty-handed, like Cinderella when the clock strikes midnight, is growing.No treble for Inter ❌ pic.twitter.com/1aLp7mP3lA— Emilio Sansolini (@EmilioSansolini) April 23, 2025 “There’s physical and mental fatigue, but we have to be stronger than that. This journey has brought us a lot of joy, but also some disappointments, like tonight. Fatigue can’t be an excuse. We need to show maximum focus in the penalty area, and we didn’t do that tonight. If we didn’t make the final, it means we didn’t do enough. Today is April 24, we have one month left and we must move forward with confidence. Every team is dealing with fatigue. We did have a more packed schedule than the others, but still, that’s not an excuse,” added Inzaghi.He’s now facing the biggest test of his coaching career…##NAJAVA_MECA_8877182##
