According to reports, back-to-back defeats against Bologna (1-0) and AC Milan (0-3), the latter marking their exit from the Coppa Italia semifinals, have created unexpected tension in Inter Milan’s dressing room. The team had not suffered consecutive losses since April 2023.

Inter, who were previously leading Serie A by three points and had a shot at a treble, are now level with Antonio Conte’s side. With five crucial matchdays remaining, the race for the title intensifies.

Inter’s match against Roma, postponed due to the Pope’s funeral, will be held today. Mundo Deportivo emphasizes that this game, just three days before their trip to Montjuïc, will be more than just a final for Simone Inzaghi and his squad. Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zieliński are set to return, but Marcus Thuram remains unavailable and is being rested for the Champions League semifinal first leg against Barcelona.

Despite recent results, trust in Inter’s manager remains unshaken. Even if this season ends without silverware, Gazzetta dello Sport reported yesterday that his contract extension until 2027 or 2028, with an annual salary of €7 million, appears certain.

Claudio Ranieri’s side, currently seventh and three points away from a Champions League spot, have been in superb form, collecting 26 out of a possible 30 points in recent matches. The Italian manager, who replaced Daniele De Rossi in November, is now close to securing a return to Europe’s elite competitions after their Europa League exit against Athletic Bilbao.
