Inter Milan stars Hakan Calhanoglu and Yann Bisseck suffered injury setbacks during the Champions League final. Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, both players must undergo further checks before the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement As if being battered in the final wasn't devastating enough, Inter lost several first-team stars to injuries. Indeed, Hakan Calhanoglu had to come off midway through the second half, risking his availability for Turkey. Vincenzo Montella's side will take on the United States and Mexico in international friendlies this month. However, Calhanoglu may miss both matches and return to Milan to work on his recovery.

Italian press brutally mock Kyle Walker's 'failed' AC Milan loan spell - as they urge the Italian giants not to sign him permanently from Man City amid family drama
The Italian press have claimed that 'failure has the face of [Kyle] Walker', providing a brutal assessment of the full-back's torrid time at AC Milan as uncertainty engulfs his career in Italy. The 35-year-old made the loan switch to the Rossoneri in January, ending a seven-and-a-half-year stint at Manchester City, which was littered with gold. His Italy switch came amid family drama off the pitch, with Walker fighting for his marriage with the mother of four of his children, Annie Kilner, after also fathering two kids with his influencer ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman. After a bright start to life in the country's fashion capital - going unbeaten in his first three starts - Walker's form drastically dipped as Milan finished a surprisingly low eighth place in Serie A. Reports earlier this month claimed that the seven-time European Cup winners had decided against paying the £4.2million fee to keep him permanently, which would mean the England defender would be forced to return to City. And it's clear that Italian media outlet Tuttosport are fans of that notion, as they mocked Walker for his struggles in Milan. The newspaper seems fairly certain that Walker will not spend next season in black and red, instead making his way back to Manchester. Tuttosport lambasted Walker's time at the club as a disaster, with the harshest line - by far - reading: 'Failure has the face of Walker.' They also claimed that all he will be remembered for is his water-spitting prior to matches. Walker famously drinks water before spraying it into the air, which has made for some cool pictures. He was berated for imitating 'his role model' Triple H - real name Paul Levesque - who used to do the same water-spitting action while wrestling in the WWE, where he is now chief content officer. Walker's personal life issues are believed to have affected his time in Milan, according to Tuttosport, and there is no way that he can continue at the Rossoneri. Last month, Italian outlet Calciomercato also claimed that the former Tottenham star's elbow injury paired with Alex Jimenez's impressive form at right-wing back are said to have convinced Milan's hierarchy against a permanent move. Jimenez, who is just 20, was originally signed for Milan's under-23 side but has made 20 appearances in Serie A this season, compared to Walker's 11. Walker said he 'wanted to cry' when he left City and previously admitted he didn't think his time at the Etihad was over. 'After I said my goodbyes, Pep [Guardiola] got up and spoke and said a really nice message to me, just saying thank you for everything,' Walker said on his BBC podcast. 'But listen, it's not over. I'm just on loan here. I've got to take that into consideration that I can go back. 'Obviously, both parties need to come to an agreement come the end of the season. The chapter's not fully closed, we'll see what happens.' The treble-winner wanted to leave the Etihad Stadium over diminishing game time, fearful of how it would impact his international career. Walker featured in both of Thomas Tuchel's opening World Cup qualifiers in March.

‘La débâcle': Italian press turn on Inzaghi after Inter's night of misery
On the front pages of Italy's newspapers, the Champions League final was told as a 'nightmare', a 'humiliation', and a 'rout'. Tuttosport at least found room for humour with a 'DisIntergrated' pun. La Stampa, in deference to the victors Paris Saint-Germain, went instead with a French phrase: 'La débâcle'. Any team can lose a Champions League final but Internazionale were the first to do so by a five-goal margin. The final indignity of a season in which they aspired to repeat the treble they won under José Mourinho, only to come unstuck at the last: losing the Coppa Italia semi-final to neighbours Milan and then missing out on the Serie A title by one point.

A sort of reverse perfection … a climax of suffering which is the photographic negative of the joys of 2010, year of the Inter treble and the last Italian joy [in this competition].' Everywhere there was acknowledgment of Paris Saint-Germain's quality and the astonishing job Luis Enrique has done in remaking this team according to his vision: young, dynamic, furiously competitive. But the focus, understandably, for Italian audiences was on how their own league's representatives could bow out so meekly. What had happened to the relentless mindset that allowed this team to score 11 times in four games against Barcelona and Bayern Munich? 'I'm sure no Inter lineup would have had a chance against this PSG,' said the veteran pundit Paolo Condò in a video blog for Il Corriere dello Sport. 'But even if you are slipping into the abyss, in a final you have a duty to try.' Advertisement Simone Inzaghi was criticised for being outschemed by Luis Enrique and for failing to adapt after the game had begun. La Gazzetta Sportiva rated his performance as a 3/10 – even lower than the score they gave to the worst player, Federico Dimarco. '[Inzaghi] does not understand a thing of PSG's rotations and press,' ran the accompanying text. 'Almost embarrassing choices on the substitutions. Maybe he will remake himself in the Asian Champions League. Maybe.' Inzaghi is reported to have received a substantial contract offer to take over as manager of Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, though he declined to talk about his future after the final. He had said repeatedly in the buildup to the game that he plans to meet with Inter's directors on Tuesday. This result, unquestionably, had changed the context of their discussions. 'And now, the cruelty of the question and of doubt,' wrote Maurizio Crosetti for La Repubblica. 'Is Simone Inzaghi the manager who took Inter within a step of winning it all, or is he the manager who in four years lost two scudetti badly and as many Champions League finals? 'If he had won this cup, maybe Inzaghi could have left more easily, like Mourinho after Madrid. And yet, after this, how can he stay?' Comparisons with the Special One were impossible to escape. As Leo Turrini put it in Quotidiano Sportivo, 'This season that made fans dream of a repeat of Mourinho's treble ended with the equally Mourinho-ian 'Zeru tituli'.

Gazzetta reported Inter will close this season with their highest-ever revenues and expect to report a profit – some turnaround from the €246m losses they posted in the last season before Inzaghi took charge. But fans live for glory on the pitch, not the balance sheet. 'From yesterday, for Inter supporters, Munich in Bavaria is no longer the kingdom of the beloved Kalle Rummenigge nor the moor ridden by Nicolino Berti but a land of shame,' wrote Luigi Garlando in the pink paper. 'You should never use this word for sporting things, but when the fans experience embarrassment at such a bewildering, humiliating display, so much that they suffer just for their sense of belonging, there is no more appropriate term. A disgrace for Italian football, too.' 'A sporting massacre, a Korea, a Mineirazo,' he continued, referencing the most infamous World Cup defeats suffered by Italy and Germany. 'Thank goodness Inter played in yellow. The black-and-blue colours weren't soiled, but the club's glorious European history was.'
