Inter Milan suffers consecutive defeats, Barcelona is unwilling

9:48am, 4 July 2025【Football】

In the football world, fate is often unpredictable. Just in the early morning of July 1, in a game in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup, the Champions League runner-up Inter Milan defeated the sixth-ranked team of Fruminense, Brazil, with a score of 0-2, and missed the final.

In this game, Inter Milan was completely suppressed by their opponents, and there were almost no offensive opportunities. Goalkeeper Sommer became the busiest person on the court, saved bravely many times, trying to ensure that the goal was no longer lost. Inter Milan, who is good at defense, actually lost his first goal due to a communication error between the defender and the goalkeeper, and his opponent headed the ball easily.

Although Inter Milan has the advantage in possession, their offensive weakness makes their advantage meaningless. Moreover, luck did not stand on their side. Lautaro's shot hit the post and Dimarco's shot hit the crossbar, but none of them changed the score, and their Club World Cup journey ended.

It is worth mentioning that this is the fourth championship trophy they have lost in the past three months. Back to the end of April, Inter Milan, like Barcelona and Paris, were also strong contenders in the competition for the triple-championship. The situation was very good, especially in the Champions League, where they only conceded 2 goals before the semi-finals, and their defense was as stable as Mount Tai.

But the second leg of the Italian Cup at the end of April became their turning point. They lost 1-4 to the city's archenemy AC Milan with a total score, missing the opportunity to the final. Subsequently, they lost to Roma 0-1 in the league, resulting in the league points being overtaken by Napoli.

Although they tied 3-3 away with Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals and defeated Barcelona 4-3 at home in the second leg to advance, they lost 0-5 to Paris Saint-Germain in the final, setting the record for the biggest loss in the Champions League final. Now participating in the Club World Cup, although Inter Milan successfully advanced to the group stage, it stopped in the round of 16, which is disappointing.

Seeing Inter Milan suffer repeated failures, Barcelona is undoubtedly the most unwilling to accept it. They performed almost perfectly this season. If they had not lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals, with Barcelona's current state, they would have probably been able to beat Paris and win the Champions League, achieve the feat of four championships, and start a new glorious era.

Perhaps at this moment, Barcelona are thinking: How did we lose to Inter Milan? For Inter Milan, maybe the good luck of the whole season has been concentrated in the two-leg match against Barcelona.
