Sometimes a Scudetto can be decided like this, just 90 minutes from the end. The feeling, however, is that the deal was sealed yesterday, and even the most superstitious Napoli fans will have to forgive us. It's hard to imagine Napoli not managing to beat Cagliari, especially in front of an entire city ready to celebrate all night long. Antonio Conte said it last night after the match, with a tired face but also the awareness of having overcome the last real obstacle: "Let's go and get this Scudetto." 773 kilometers away, meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi remained in the depths of San Siro, talking with the team and the management. Even though we weren't there, the topic of conversation is easy to guess. There's a lot of disappointment, for a Scudetto that seemed to have slipped away and then, thanks to Genoa and Parma, had returned to Inter's hands. ⚠️ The handball of discord The penalty called by referee Chiffi in the 89th minute—which effectively decided the championship—has sparked and will continue to spark debate. Bisseck defends very poorly, falling for Castellanos' feint, but still manages to keep his hands behind his back.

Also interesting is Calvarese's take: "It's true that Bisseck's arm is close to his sides, but it seems that the limb moves toward the ball, and that's why VAR intervened. Although, to be honest, in this championship, in similar situations, the on-field decision has stood and no penalty was given. In the final minutes, Arnautovic's goal was disallowed for offside." In any case, Inter and Inzaghi's decision not to appear on television should not be seen as a protest, but rather as a result of the long discussion that took place in the locker room. 😔 How the mood has changed! Missing out on overtaking has completely erased the wave of enthusiasm that the incredible 4-3 win in the Champions League semifinal against Barcelona had brought. 📸 NICOLO CAMPO - AFP or licensors Let's be clear: Inter's European run is a great source of pride and, in fact, on May 31, Lautaro and his teammates will play for the most important trophy in Munich. However, given how things went yesterday, there can only be a lot of regret throughout the club. Because Chivu did his duty as a former Inter player, and Conte already felt he had lost the chance of a lifetime. Instead, it really seems that in a week or even less (the League will decide today when the last round will be played), the celebrations will be taking place in the shadow of Vesuvius.

Italy Veteran Admits ‘Losing Two Champions League Finals In Three Years Hurts' – But Insists ‘Inter Milan Have Still Had A Great Season'

Italy Veteran Admits 'Losing Two Champions League Finals In Three Years Hurts' – But Insists 'Inter Milan Have Still Had A Great Season' Francesco Acerbi admits that losing two Champions League finals in the space of three years 'hurts' for Inter Milan. The Italian international spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after yesterday's 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Advertisement Inter Milan did not just lose in yesterday's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The Nerazzurri conceded a shocking five goals. And at the other end of the pitch, there didn't look to be much chance of Inter finding the back of the net. On both and physical and a technical level, PSG just looked several steps ahead of Inter. The Nerazzurri showed their age and a bit of mental and physical fatigue. The result was nothing short of humiliation on the biggest stage in European football. Acerbi Admits: 'Losing Two Champions League Finals In Three Years Hurts' For Inter Milan BOLOGNA, ITALY – APRIL 20: Francesco Acerbi of FC Internazionale looks on as he sits on the ground during the Serie A match between Bologna and FC Internazionale at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on April 20, 2025 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) There is also the fact that this is not the first time that this Inter team lost a Champions League final. Advertisement Seven out of the Nerazzurri starting eleven against PSG had also started against Manchester City two years ago. On that occasion, Inter lost by a narrow 1-0 scoreline. Nothing like yesterday's absolute blowout. But the disappointment remains. And the feeling can only compound now that Inter are back where they started from in 2023. Inter defender Francesco Acerbi admitted that 'reaching the Champions League final for the second time in three years and failing to win again hurts.' 'However, the journey here was thrilling for us,' he continued. 'It always helps to grow and improve.' 'Two years ago against City, we thought we could play a good match against a world-class team,' Acerbi said. 'We made things hard for them, but lacked a bit of something to win it.' Advertisement Against PSG, meanwhile, Acerbi said that Inter 'seemed quite calm and focused.' 'But then we were blocked off. And they were going twice as hard as us.' 'It's hard to say it without any trophies,' Acerbi continued, 'but I think it was a great season.' The former Lazio and Sassuolo defender insisted that 'we gave everything we could give.'

End Of The Road For Ex Man United & Arsenal Veteran + Several Others As PSG Brutally Expose Aging Inter Milan Squad

End Of The Road For Ex Man United & Arsenal Veteran + Several Others As PSG Brutally Expose Aging Inter Milan Squad It looks to be the end of the road for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and several others after PSG ruthlessly exposed Inter Milan's aging squad. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan had the oldest squad in this season's Champions league, at nearly thirty years of age on average. That had not stopped the Nerazzurri from reaching a final. However, once they got there, they faced a team with an entirely different age profile. As the Gazzetta note, PSG's starting eleven had an average age that was five years and 146 days younger than that of Inter. Accordingly, yesterday's final was always going to play out as something of a battle between youth and experience. End Of The Road For Mkhitaryan & Several Others As PSG Expose Aging Inter Squad MILAN, ITALY – NOVEMBER 06: Matteo Darmian of FC Internazionale in action during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD4 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Arsenal FC at Stadio San Siro on November 06, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Inter may have hoped that their experience would have been their edge against PSG. As it had been against the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Advertisement But that was, putting it mildly, not the case. Instead, the Nerazzurri looked downright weary trying to keep up with Paris Saint-Germain, in and out of possession. There was no sign that PSG's players were lacking in confidence or tactical awareness. They were first to nearly every ball, and looked orders of magnitude sharper when they had it. In the view of the Gazzetta, this was evidence that it is time for Inter to move on. Players like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Francesco Acerbi, and Matteo Darmian have done a great deal for the team over the last few years. But there is no room for sentimentalism or living in the past. It is time for this Inter squad to get younger, hungrier, and more physically fresh and athletic.

Two Scottish men dead after Malaga shooting

Two Scottish men have died following a shooting in southern Spain, reports suggest. The BBC has reported that a gunman opened fire outside Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola, Malaga on Saturday night. A local government official told the broadcaster it is believed the two men are Scottish. The Foreign Office said it had not been contacted for consular assistance in relation to the incident but would offer assistance if asked. A local newspaper said the attack took place at around 11pm, when a car pulled up outside the bar and masked man got out, before opening fire on the two as they stood outside the venue. The gunman then fled in the car, the report continued, with both men dying at the scene. A popular Irish-themed bar with locals, Monaghans was playing the Champions League final on Saturday evening, shortly before the incident.
