Inzaghi must revive Inter Milan ahead of crucial Champions League Semifinal

From darkness to hope: Barcelona clash could reignite Inter Milan's season

There’s no time to look back. Inter Milan must regain the energy that currently seems completely drained. 

They need to bounce back immediately, as the first leg against Barcelona for a place in the Champions League final is set for Wednesday.
"The fear of losing seems to have overtaken the desire to win. The energy switch has suddenly flipped off right before the coach's eyes and, especially in Italy, it has become increasingly difficult to turn the lights back on. 

As if that weren’t enough, the players’ muscles feel like lead, weighed down just like their minds. 

Despite this barren landscape and a situation never before experienced in Milan, the coach must somehow find a crack through which some light can enter. 

A minimum of hope, some Champions League optimism is needed to illuminate the three days leading up to the Montjuïc clash. 

Barcelona is the only potential electroshock for this faded season finale," writes La Gazzetta dello Sport via Fcinter1908.it.

Inzaghi’s Urgent Challenge: Spark Life into a Weary Inter Milan Squad

"Even in the darkest hour, Inzaghi has defended the choice to reach for the sun: everyone at the club knew the risk of getting burned. While Serie A has become complicated (but not yet lost...), in Barcelona the score starts at 0-0. 

However, Inzaghi must pull off a magic trick and awaken his team from this strange state of resignation. And perhaps avoid thinking too much about the depressing statistic regarding his substitutes: the combined total of Arnautović, Taremi, and Correa — three strikers — amounts to just 6 goals in Serie A, a little over half of the 11 goals scored by McTominay, who is nominally a defensive midfielder. 

They are also part of the 'togetherness' needed now," the newspaper adds.

Now, more than ever, Inter Milan must remember who they are. Champions are not made only of trophies, but of resilience, pride, and the ability to rise when everything seems lost.
