How Treble ‘Arrogance’ Returned To Haunt Inter Milan Down The Final Serie A Stretch

Back in February, Inter dropped eight crucial points.

In addition to drawing with AC Milan, the Nerazzurri lost to Fiorentina and Juventus.

Meanwhile, Napoli seized every opportunity to overtake the reigning champions at the top of the tree.

A lack of quality on the bench has significantly contributed to Inter’s stuttering title defense.

Mehdi Taremi, Kristjan Asllani, and Joaquin Correa have often flopped in the absence of first-team regulars.

Finally, recurring injuries to several key players have done their part.

However, Inzaghi could have avoided all that drama by choosing to sacrifice one competition.

Needless to say, Inter fans would’ve forgiven the team for throwing away their Coppa Italia ambitions.

Now, instead of the treble, Inzaghi must focus on avoiding a trophyless season.
