Sacchi on Inter: League Dominance vs. European Struggles
28 Jan
Summary
- Inter Milan leads Serie A by five points after winning 12 of 14 games.
- The team has scored over 50 goals in Serie A this season.
- Inter has suffered three consecutive Champions League defeats after a strong start.
Former AC Milan manager Arrigo Sacchi has analyzed Cristian Chivu's tenure at Inter Milan, highlighting a significant disparity between the team's domestic and European performances. As of January 28, 2026, Inter is enjoying a dominant spell in Serie A, leading the league by five points. They have secured victories in 12 of their last 14 league matches, achieving their second-best points tally in seven years with 52 points from 22 games. Furthermore, Inter is the only Serie A team to surpass the 50-goal mark this season.
In contrast, Inter's UEFA Champions League journey has encountered turbulence. After an impressive start with four consecutive wins, the team has experienced three successive defeats in the competition. Sacchi expressed concern, suggesting that Inter, despite reaching the finals last season, should be performing at a higher level against top European clubs like Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, and Arsenal. He indicated that Inter seems to have 'fallen asleep' in Europe, facing a difficult upcoming match in Dortmund.
