Nothing ‘Pazza Inter’ About Inter Milan 2-1 Feyenoord Champions League Win – Job Done, On To Bayern Munich

Inter Milan’s victory over Feyenoord meant that they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. There was nothing “Pazza” about the method that they did it.

Per FCInterNews, this is the opinion expressed in the print edition of the Milan-based publication Gazzetta dello Sport, which was published today.

It is possible that Inter Milan was aware of the fact that they had a significant edge going into the second leg of the Champions League round of sixteen match that took place yesterday against Feyenoord.

Moreover, Inter was leading by a score of 2-0 after the first leg. In addition to this, they were a club that had less experience in Europe and was missing a number of notable players due to injuries.

Despite this, Feyenoord was always going to make an effort to turn those disadvantages into a strength for themselves.

It should come as no surprise that the Eredivisie team came out with the intention of playing a game with a high tempo and putting Inter under strain.

In addition, the Feyenoord team that Inter had to contend with was a mystery in many regards.

Inter Milan’s victory over Feyenoord by a score of 2-1 was not “Pazza”
Inter Milan, on the other hand, was able to evade every trap that they might have encountered.

Keeping possession of the ball wherever they could, the Nerazzurri were able to manage the match early on. In addition, they utilised attack as their most effective method of defence, taking advantage of the openings that Feyenoord would ultimately leave. Marcus Thuram scored the first goal for Inter’s team early on. It provided them with a significant psychological lift.

Then, Feyenoord did manage to score a goal from the penalty spot to level the score.

It’s possible that this would have been enough to send Inter into a spiral if they had been in a true “pazza” mindset.

Despite this, the Nerazzurri were able to counter by bringing the contest to a more peaceful state. They ultimately received a penalty of their own, which allowed them to win the match and put an end to the competition.
