Bayer Leverkusen found a last-gasp winner in Tuesday’s mouth-watering UEFA Champion League encounter against Inter Milan.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Die Werkself made the Nerazzurri pay for a ‘wrong’ attitude.
Simone Inzaghi abandoned his offensive-minded approach, perhaps for the first time this season.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri seemed up the creek without a paddle from the get-go, allowing Leverkusen to control the game.
Seemingly satisfied with a point, Inter offered nothing in the final third, focusing entirely on defending their goal.
However, Nordi Mukiele punished Inzaghi’s conservative set-up with a 90th-minute strike.
It wasn’t the first time Inter had failed to score in the Champions League this season.
But while they had several chances in a scoreless draw at Manchester City on day one, they did nothing in attack last night.
For context, Inzaghi’s charges finished the game without a shot on target.
Moreover, the Italian changes couldn’t muster a single clear-cut scoring chance.
On the other hand, they defended with determination until that 90th-minute collapse.
However, Inzaghi should learn his lesson from Tuesday’s heartbreak.
There’s nothing wrong with being risk averse, yet it’s not in Inter’s DNA to defend for the entire 90 minutes.
