What Inter have taught Arsenal about Tottenham

What Inter have taught Arsenal about Tottenham

  • Mirko Laurenti
After the 1-0 loss against Tottenham at Wembley, Inter are no longer in control of their own destiny in Champions League.

Nerazzurri won the first match at San Siro with the English club 2-1 therefore they are now disadvantaged by the goal difference which rewards the away goals in the case of an equal point finish between two teams. Inter can still move to the next round but they will need Tottenham’s help since on the last matchday at San Siro against PSV, they must achieve a better result than Spurs, expected at the Camp Nou from Barcelona.

In short, Nerazzurri must win, hoping that Tottenham do not do the same against Barca, or they can equalize the result in the event that Pochettino’s army is defeated by the Blaugrana. Inter can reassure themselves thanks to the numbers achieved by Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the last 10 years of the Champions League. As reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', out of 57 games, only 3 losses arrived for Barcelona.

Much will be decided at Camp Nou but Inter cannot make missteps since a loss against PSV would put the end credits to any kind of mathematical calculation, relegating Nerazzuri to the Europa League.
