Inter Milan beat Slavia Prague 3-0 but waste more chances

Second consecutive Champions League win for Inter Milan, but missed chances highlight lack of ruthlessness

Inter Milan beat Slavia Prague 3-0, though the scoreline could have been even heavier. 

Until the international break, the fixture list looks manageable, before tougher clashes arrive.

A gift from goalkeeper Stanek opened the door for Inter Milan’s second consecutive Champions League victory. 

Lautaro, once again, was ready to pounce. Cristian Chivu rotated the squad and, considering his goal of winning the first four European matches before the calendar gets tougher, the Nerazzurri reached the halfway point without suffering.

The main issue remains: more ruthlessness and composure are needed in the final third, as scoring as many goals as possible matters in the extended group stage.

The team is growing in fitness and confidence, while the coach continues the psychological rebuild after last season’s painful finale. 

Lautaro shines with a brace, Thuram and Calhanoglu decisive

Another positive note is that the stars are shining: the relentless Lautaro bagged a brace, the elegant Thuram was involved in two goals (though he was forced off with a muscle issue), and Calhanoglu returned to dominance in midfield.

Only after the break, with back-to-back away matches against Roma and Napoli, will the true strength of Inter Milan be revealed.
