Inter Milan & Italy Trio Must Recover Mentally From Absolute Devastation Of Serie A, Champions League & FIFA World Cup Qualifier Collapse

Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, and Nicolo Barella will have to recover mentally from the devastation of collapses by Inter Milan and Italy.

This is the view in today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

It would be a significant understatement to say that it has been a tough three weeks for Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, and Nicolo Barella.

First, there was the disappointment of missing out on the Serie A title.

Losing out to Napoli was already tough. But the manner in which it happened – losing on the final day after repeatedly failing to take advantage of opportunities to put the title race to bed – stung all the more.

Then, the Champions League final was even more devastating for Inter.

Losing another final in narrow fashion as they had against Manchester City in 2023 would have been heartbreaking for Inter. But the 5-0 blowout loss to Paris Saint-Germain was something else entirely.

It is possible that the Italian internationals will have hoped the international break was an opportunity to reset.

However, the misery followed them to the Azzurri camp. They lost 3-0 against Norway to get their World Cup qualifying campaign to the worst conceivable start.
