2025-12-11 09:59:43 / SPORT
Inter endured another difficult evening in the UEFA Champions League, with a second consecutive defeat seriously jeopardising the club's ambitions of securing a direct place in next season's knockout stage.
The match against Liverpool, held in a packed San Siro, offered excitement and tension, but a controversial penalty – dubbed by commentators as “a rigorino” – denied Christian Kivu’s team a point that would have been deserved based on what was seen on the pitch. The start of the match was not in the favor of the black and blues. The early departures from the game due to injuries of Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Francesco Acerbi, who could not be activated due to injuries, left a noticeable gap in the midfield and defense. Liverpool took advantage of moments of confusion and imposed their rhythm, creating several clear scoring chances in the opening minutes.
Inter looked confused, but reacted with dynamism and character in the second half of the match. After the break, the team led by Kivu changed its approach and began to narrow the spaces, forcing Liverpool to defend and creating chances to equalize. There were also important moments in the early stages of the goals, with the black and blue attackers often testing the opposing goalkeeper, showing the character of the team even against an opponent with European experience. However, the decisive episode came in the 88th minute. VAR and the referee awarded a penalty to Liverpool after a controversial pull by Inter defender Bastoni on striker Virtz.
Dominik Szoboszlai made no mistake from the penalty spot and scored the winning goal for the visitors. This goal left Inter without any points in this match and seriously jeopardizes their plans to secure a direct place in the group stage, forcing the team to fight until the end to avoid the playoffs. Coach Kivu after the match emphasized the need for maximum concentration and management of critical situations: “ It is a defeat that teaches lessons. We must continue to work and improve in every match to achieve our objective in the Champions League.” Analysts point out that Inter, despite the defeat, showed great character and fight on the field. Consequently, every point gained in the upcoming matches will be precious and decisive for the club’s fate in the European elite. A calendar full of challenges against strong teams makes every match a real test of the players’ patience and concentration.
The defeat was met with sadness by the fans, but many of them stressed that Inter have shown fighting spirit and should not lose faith in the objectives of the season. The support of “San Siro” remains an important factor for the team, especially at such a delicate moment for the Champions League. With two more matches in this stage of the league, Inter must get the most out of their players and make a careful analysis of every tactical detail.
