Exhaustion – Only Real Madrid Played More Matches Than Inter Milan This Season | OneFootball

Only Real Madrid have played more matches than Inter Milan have across the season just gone.

Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note the “total exhaustion” of the campaign for the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan were active across absolutely all fronts last season.

The Nerazzurri played 38 matches in Serie A, as usual. Then, in the Coppa Italia, Inter reached the semifinals, meaning four matches in total.

There were two matches in the Supercoppa Italiana. And then the Champions League added fifteen matches to the fixture list. Inter reached the final of both competitions, though they lost in both cases.

All of these add up to an eye-watering 59 matches for Inter Milan this season.

That is just one short of the sixty that the Nerazzurri could have played had they reached the Coppa Italia final.

Then, there will be the Club World Cup. Next week’s group stage opener against Monterrey will be match number sixty for Inter – and they will hit 62 at minimum.

That is the number that Real Madrid have played already. Therefore, Los Blancos are the only club in Europe with more matches played than Inter this season.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain played a total of 58 matches this season.

PSG have a European Treble to show for their efforts. On the other hand, Inter and Real Madrid finished the campaign empty-handed, as their constant efforts perhaps hindered their pursuit of trophies.
