Yes, if they continue to be lost in disappointment, of course it will make them play without focusing on the domestic league which will make them inconsistent again, because even though their point difference is difficult to catch, if Inter Milan suffers a losing streak in the remaining matches because they are not too focused, of course will be detrimental to them, what is clear is that Inter Milan must be able to accept any result in the UCL, even though they lost to Atletico Madrid, they must learn from that defeat to become a better club in the future in the UCL next season.

I think there is too much disappointment, some supporters are making insinuations, such as on social media, because of Martinez's failure, but all supporters, don't look at one mistake, but look at the struggles they have faced up to this point, it is not easy to consistently maintain performance and stamina playing in the domestic league and also in UCL, because if it is not maintained, all the great players will definitely experience fatigue due to the busy schedule, Inter Milan must be more focused until the end of the season and win the Italian league title this season.

There is a piece of bad news about AC Milan and their goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
In the game between Lavia Prague and Ac Milan, in which Ac Milan won the game with a 3-1 result Maignan got injured in 9 minutes after the after of the game but after ~20 minutes he couldn't continue and it shows this player was hardly injured, so Maignan left the field and gave him a place to Sportiello.
There is still not much news about the current situation of Maignan but AC Milan will hardly need this goalkeeper for the next games, however, using Maignan by French in FIFA-day can even make his situation worse.

Inter's Champions League exit to Atletico stunned me as much as you. Their Serie A performance made me think they were stronger. You're right—Simeone and his team came through when it counted. Inter and anyone who believed they'd cruise through the UCL later are devastated. With their full focus on Serie A, they'll likely win. I don't see AC Milan or Juventus catching up at this moment. It's sad, especially given their Champions League start, but maybe it will motivate them to finish stronger next season

The Napoli encounter will be intriguing. Undoubtedly, Inter won. The Serie A lead isn't just for show; it shows their consistency and competence. They should dominate, but football is unpredictable. This elimination may wake them up to not get too complacent, no matter how far ahead they are. Since pride precedes fall, I'm sure they're more determined than ever to show themselves domestically

Inter Milan's performance was not bad. I would say Inter Milan lost this match due to their poor match strategy. Inter Milan players performed well in the home match. And won the match 1-0. So in the match of the second leg Inter Milan probably wanted to draw the match and qualify for the quarter finals. And that's why I'd say Inter Milan are beaten.

I saw Inter Milan's gameplay in this match. They played a lot of defensive tactics. Their main aim was to keep the defense tight and draw the match. And until the 87th minute, they repelled every Atlético Madrid attack. At the last minute, Depay's goal gave Atletico Madrid a 2-1 lead. Also, I would say Inter Milan were unlucky in this match. Experienced players like Sanchez, Martinez and Klaassen can't score from penalty chances. It was completely unexpected.

I understand what you are saying, to be honest you are not entirely wrong
but think of it this way, the players havent changed, the players played together last season and won, there havent been any major changes apart from the coach...

why they arent the top this season? everyone expected Napoli to be at the top, including me but this not happen, is strange

In my opinion, Atletico were definitely no worse than Inter, and at the end of match they looked even better and had a very good chance of ending this match with another goal. Inter had a very good season in Serie A, but apparently they were not ready to move further into the Champions League playoffs. Last season they were very lucky with the draw, which may be why they were able to reach the final, this time it was different, and Atletico are not the strongest team left.

This is a real question, very insightful and very intelligent, congratulations
it could certainly have an impact on a psychological level, in fact it certainly did, it certainly put a feeling in the players heads that they didn`t have before, fear
this is bad, but we are now at the end, they have to grit their teeth

Losing and winning are normal things, Inter feels disappointed and it is also normal because Inter did not deserve to be eliminated because this season they were better than Atletico Madrid. However, Atletico Madrid played very well in that match, and Inter's finishing was poor because he was obsessed with scoring goals, so he shot with all his might. Inter must train their players mentally to remain calm in finishing and producing goals. Because to score a goal you don't always have to shoot hard. Of course Inter's failure in the UCL League did not discourage them in the Domestic league. Now their focus is against Napoli, because the Serie A trophy is in sight, they only need a few more matches to lock in the Serie A title.

Napoli's failure in the UCL League is not surprising because this season Napoli is not like last season, in fact they are improving and adapting to a new coach. So even though both teams are experiencing mental setbacks after failing in the UCL league, in this match I favor Inter Milan to win. My prediction is that in this match Inter will score more than two goals because they want to vent their failure in the UCL league.

I know it must be very painful for Inter because they failed to take advantage of their excellent performance to compete in the UCL and were knocked out just because they failed to execute a penalty but in a game there is a win and there is a loss. Atlético Madrid is not an easy opponent for Inter so losing to them is something that is difficult. It's natural because it is also an elite team and to reduce that disappointment, Inter must play well in the league so that fans don't experience significant disappointment. Against Napoli, it should be a turning point for Inter to vent their previous defeat in the UCL. Napoli also experienced disappointment in the UCL. because they were defeated by Barcelona, so technically both teams had the same mental decline and I hope it doesn't drag on.

Inter Milan have nothing to worry in Serie A because they have 16 points more than AC Milan and Serie A has only 10 matches. Inter Milan need to lose 5 matches and has one draw while AC Milan must have perfect results in last 10 matches to get Scudetto from Inter Milan.

This will never happen even Inter Milan will feel disappointed after a shocked defeat in Champions League. They soon will return to a good mood and complete their job in Serie A.

Inter Milan from their coach to players have to regret a lot because of many wasted opportunities. If they can score only one more goal from many missed opportunities, they would have been the winner even without penalty shootout.

I am sure they are regretful about that and Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez will feel a little bit individual responsibility too.

After being defeated by Inter last week, Bologna was certainly angry and they have to win again today when they face Empoli away from home. Bologna shouldn't have any difficulties even though this is an away game because Empoli themselves are a weak team and they don't have the strength to match Bologna's game. Currently, Empoli are closer to the relegation zone and if they lose, it will be easier for them to be overtaken by Frosinone, who are currently only 1 point behind.

Bologna must maintain their hard-won position this season and being in 4th place in the standings further opens the door for them to the champions league next season. Maybe the problem is that the teams below them like Roma or Atalanta have a gap that is not that big, therefore they have to win against Empoli in order to widen the gap again. The odds of Bologna winning are very large at @2.02 and it would be nice if we made more money in this match.

Now there is no reason for Inter Milan not to focus on Serie A, they have already been eliminated in the Champions League. Actually, I also feel that Inter Milan is more worthy of being in the quarter-finals if I compare the performances of the two teams as a whole. But then again this is football, which doesn't guarantee something will happen as we have seen in recent performances. Atletico Madrid succeeded in causing deep disappointment for Inter Milan, because the goal they scored in the 87th minute forced Inter Milan to continue the match to a penalty shootout.
Inter Milan has nothing to regret, because in my opinion this is inseparable from Atletico Madrid's great luck. Moreover, in the penalty shootout round I prefer to say it was a round of luck because the chances of each team were 50/50. No one can predict who will win in the penalty shootout. So Inter Milan must immediately forget their defeat in the Champions League and look ahead to their match in Serie A. At least they are on the last step to win the trophy this season.

to determine who will be relegated, it seems clear that 1 team looks very difficult to survive in series A, such as Salernitana, which is certain to be eliminated from series A, only got 2 wins and to be honest, I'm a little sad to see Sassuolo this season really having difficulty getting achievements like before and just look at the previous season Sassuolo was always able to finish in a safe place, but this season they got very bad results and I can't imagine that this team will be relegated this season and it will really make a loss in the reputation of this team after staying there for so long in the series A.

I looked for information that Sassuolo seems to be having a bad problem and replaced their coach and is currently getting coach Davide Ballardini who currently has not seen any visible changes but it seems that Sassuolo management is too late to replace their coach because Massimiliano Alvini has wasted too much time for Sassuolo which ended up in the relegation zone but I'm a little confident that this team will soon rise and move away from the relegation zone.
and it seems like Frosinone has often been relegated so it will most likely have difficulty avoiding the relegation zone this season.

I wouldn't say Inter Milan performance was very poor because they did everything they need to do to get to that round they got knocked out, just that over confidence made them slip off the competition and you'd agree with me that Inter Milan was better than Atletico Madrid but the Italian side let their guard down. When they started the second leg they (Inter) would have gone into that game like is the first leg and try to get an early goal which they didn't get till things fell apart. I would have loved to see Inter qualify to the next round than Napoli because Nap are really having a bad season and they're never going to sit up till the end of this very campaign.

It is very difficult to predict which team will fall into the relegation zone this season. A number of teams have high chances of going into the relegation zone.

Starting from Udinese, who are 13th in the points table, every team after them has the possibility of falling into the relegation zone. Teams will go to the relegation zone if they fail to perform well.

Frosinone in the relegation zone are just 3 points behind Udinse in 13th place in the table. If Udinese lose the next match and Forsinone win the next match then we will see a big change in the points table. Each team will play about 10 more matches. So it is not possible to say now which three teams will be in the relegation zone.

focus, ok you have to stay more focused this time
but the main thing they have to do is stay calm, a defeat is part of a winning streak, this doesn't mean anything
the worst thing they can do is start and thinking they aren't up to it causes them to lose

Competition in the relegation zone is quite tight this season because there are seven teams whose points are not much different, namely Udinese, Verona, Cagliari, Lecce, Empoli, Frosinone, Sassoulo.
The team that has been confirmed to be relegated is Salernitana because they have the fewest points and it is impossible to get out of the relegation zone with the remaining number of matches because they have to win all the remaining matches.

The seven teams that are competing to survive from relegation zone will face quite difficult matches this week except for Lecce who will face the bottom team Salernitana and Lecce will have the opportunity to move up the rankings if their competitors fail to get three points, but Salernitana still has to be watched out for because they have a chance to get 1 point and that will be a loss for Lecce.

Napoli has been weak all season long, it is not new. I mean they got a new manager at the start of the season, and everyone assumed that they would just be a little bad but not a lot, which turns out was wrong and they were terrible, so what did they do? Fired the new manager assuming he was the problem, hoping to have a turn around like Roma did, but that did not happen neither, the new manager also sucks and the results are still terrible.

At this point, they should sit down and consider if the problem is with the manager or is it with the team. Players are not playing with the same passion that they played last year, don't know what caused it last year but they are definitely not caring about the result anymore this season.

Learn from the past where in 2015 they were competing with Juventus but Inter Milan was very strong at the start of the season where Juventus stumbled from 15th place in Serie A, but as time went by Juventus got up and won continuously and started to find the rhythm of the game was right and in the end they competed with Inter Milan and the result was that Juventus was able to shift Inter Milan from the position at the top of Serie A, so the essence of everything could happen if Juventus still gave their signal in winning the title this season.

The defeat against Atletico Madrid is the result of the busy schedule they have had in recent weeks, so it is not surprising that the players are not very focused on their defense, and it is very clear that the Inter Milan players are very tired in the match and in addition they will play their important match this week...

Intermilan needs some preparations to celebrate its winning the Scudetto this season since this is gonna be another trophy that will obviously win by intermilan and replace UCL trophy which is vanished after intermilan out from UCL. We have no more candidates in the UCL caused by they are all out because of the bad performances. It has indicated that these clubs are not yet strong enough to compete with clubs from other leagues. Napoli and Inter Milan are performing poorly at this stage which was also becoming a boomeraing for them.
They deserved to leave UCL before they could reach the quarterfinals since they played the game so badly. They deserved everything. It was caused by their poor performance, but there will be many critics to Intermilan because this club performed even worse than what they showed off in serie a which is very strange.

The fact that Intermilan was unable improving their performances and the result against Atletico Madrid gave club a lot of lessosns, and we must move on since there is a trophy awaiting for intermilan. 
Intermilan was playing well, but not good enough to beat Atletico Madrid. The better for all Intermilan players to find out how to shoot properly from the penalty spot. I don't know if they're nervous or something but since they were professional players and they must have fully prepared to face any situation.
