I was also disappointed when I saw Inter Milan lose the game against Atletico Madrdi in the Chmapnios League and I was expecting to see a much better performance from this team, maybe that's because of the good performance we saw from Inter Milan in the Champions League when they were in the finally match however I still think Inter Milan was was lucky because of having easier games than other teams.
Even Pioli the coach of AC Milan said he was shocked when he saw Inter Milan losing that match.
Butthe godo thing for them is about Serie A, now they have less presure and they can focus on Serie A morethan beforeto earn the title.

I fear that Inter is in a waning phase at the moment, I think so because during the match against Atletico Madrid all the players seemed very tired, despite Inter remains the strongest in Serie A I think that the next match against Napoli is not completely obvious its victory, Napoli is not in good shape and Inter is in a bit of a waning phase and I think we will see a very balanced match. As an Inter fan I hope they can win this big match and continue their unbroken run towards winning Scudetto number 20

I cannot agree with you. In the Napoli vs Inter Milan match, I consider Inter Milan as favourites. Napoli are unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Napoli have won only 2 of these 5 matches. Their overall performance is still erratic. It will not be possible to beat a strong opponent like Inter Milan with such erratic performances.

This is Inter Milan's home match. Inter Milan will definitely want to win at home. Inter Milan players will not disappoint the fans. Inter Milan have also won their last two matches against Napoli. Inter Milan's defense is very strong. Inter Milan conceded only 13 goals in 28 matches this season. Napoli players will not be able to break such a strong defense.

This season Napoli's chances are non-existent. they have to accept reality and maybe there will be several names of players leaving Napoli next season.
Napoli has a lot of work for next season, and they must prepare to improve from now on. This season is too bad for them and this will be a consideration for improving the team's performance in the next season. all Napoli fans have to accept how their favorite team is currently not as good as last season.

The 0-1 defeat to Intermilan in the previous week has stopped Bologna positive trend and made their position begin to be threatened by Roma, but today we can see Bologna rise quickly to get 3 points from Empoli while making them back away from Roma chase, the gap between Bologna and Roma is only 6 points with Roma who have not played the rest of their matches against Sassuolo this week,  I think Bologna chances this season to stay in 4th place in the Serie A standings are very difficult because however at this time Roma are starting to rise and continue to achieve positive results to be able to end the season as high as possible in Serie A, this week Roma will face Sassuolo who are now in the relegation zone and of course with Sassuolo's performance which this season is quite bad it is certainly not difficult for Roma to get 3 points in the match while cutting the gap Being 3 points from Bologna.

The Napoli and Inter Milan match is the only match that we can say as a bigmatch this week, so far Intermilan is still able to maintain its consistency in the league while Napoli who are also unbeaten in 5 league matches will certainly make the match more interesting, currently Napoli is struggling to enter the European competition zone so it demands them not to lose the remaining matches including against Intermilan,  Intermilan, who have been safe in the league, certainly no longer have the motivation to win every remaining game they currently have for avoid the risk of possible player injuries.
My Pediction, Napoli will win 1-0 over Intermilan in the match later.

In the penalty round, something bad can always turn into a surprise like what Atletico Madrid got and Inter Milan should have been more worthy of qualifying for the last 8 but luck was not on Inter Milan's side.
One small mistake prevented Inter from qualifying for the last 8 when competing at home, they couldn't get a bigger aggregate score, they only got 1 aggregate score and that was a difficult condition and underestimated Atletico Madrid, a big mistake and now it has been proven that Inter Milan just make a small mistake that has bad consequences.
This failure is not the end of everything because it can get first place to get the series A title but this title will not really make the supporters happier.

After this, Inter will not have anything to do except focus on maintaining its position to continue adding large numbers of points.

The target that Napoli can achieve now is how they can occupy a position in one of the European competitions for next season because it has been confirmed that the championship title has been out of their hands since the middle of the season, even long before because their performance continues to be disappointing.
However, facing Inter Milan Napoli it will not be easy to get even just one point, because by being eliminated from the Champions League, Inter Milan certainly wants to immediately ensure the Serie A title this season as soon as possible and that will happen if they continue to maintain their 17 consecutive wins in Serie A.
In the first meeting with Inter Milan at home to Napoli, Napoli failed to get any points and they even lost quite badly without being able to score a single goal and in the next match Inter Milan will play aggressively to score more than two goals because Napoli's defense is one of the weakest this season while Napoli will find it difficult breaking through Inter Milan's very solid defense this season.

Both have different ambitions from these two clubs, even though they have just been eliminated from the Champions League, here we can't talk about their failures, but unlike Napoli they still haven't found the rhythm of their game like last season, even though Inter Milan failed in the Champions League.  However, they still have a chance to win the Serie A title, unlike Napoli this season they lost the opportunity to appear on the European stage next season and the title of defending champion doesn't have any meaning this season, being in seventh place makes Napoli a little frustrated.  with their current condition.

I agree with you that the outcome of this match was completely unexpected. None of us expected such a result. At the same time I want to say that Inter Milan were very unlucky in this match. Otherwise, the team would not have lost against Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan players missed all 3 penalties against Atletico Madrid. The important thing is that 3 goals were missed by the best three players in Inter Milan's squad. Hard to accept that Martinez, Sanchez and Klaassen will miss penalties. All three are excellent players, but all three have missed. It is nothing but bad luck.

Inter Milan should now focus on Serie A. However, the Serie A title will easily be won by the Inter Milan team. The Inter Milan team is ahead of AC Milan in the second place of the table by a big gap of 16 points.

The gap is too large, and Milan only needs a few additional matches to secure the scudetto this season. I do not believe any other club has a chance of winning the Scudetto. Intermilan is also widening the gap from before. I'm sure no club will be able to stick to the Intermilan.
Not even Juventus can do it. Juventus has been losing so many games, and it's time for Inter Milan to win the Scudetto this season after Napoli did last season. Interimlan is performing admirably in the league, but it blew the game in the Champions League due to poor penalty taking.
It's a shameful result, but life must go on, and Intermilan still has another goal to achieve.

With a fairly large point difference of 16 points, it is very difficult for the clubs below to catch up because they have to go through matches consistently without losing, while there are 10 remaining matches this season left and Inter Milan only needs to go through 5 matches without losing to ensure their victory and I think Inter Milan will not miss 5 defeats. Inter Milan will try hard to continue to win because Inter Milan no longer has a busy schedule so its focus can be shifted to domestic league competitions to win the league title, even though at this time Inter Milan experienced disappointment but this disappointment will pay off when they win the title later.

Meanwhile, Napoli is no longer the favorite like last season, they are already quite far behind Inter Milan, currently they are fighting to occupy the Champions League zone for next season. But they also have to get past Atalanta and Roma with a point difference that is not too far away. In the deciding match later, whether Napoli will be further away or closer, when they meet Inter Milan on Monday, if Napoli loses, they will be further away from the Champions League zone, but if they draw or win, they can still catch up.

Bologna this season really has quite good achievements. Where their performance in the field has improved quite rapidly. And the victory they had today also strengthened their position in 4th place. And with this, Roma will also find it difficult to catch up with the difference in points that Bologna has. Because the remaining matches this season are getting thinner from week to week. So Roma can only hope that Bologna suffers several defeats if Roma wants to get close to 4th place.

The Inter vs Napoli match will indeed be quite interesting. But I have already decided which team I will favourite. And yes it is Inter Milan. I have no doubt they will succeed in beating Napoli by scoring at least 2 goals.

The gap is very big now.16 PTS same as five matches which mean intermilan needs only a few matches more to win the competition. Failed in UCL is still good for intermilan since it can still win scudetto this season. The down fall of intermilan in UCL is making a lot of fans feel disappointed with it since it was also making the chance to get treble winners become disappearing.
It was also making the situation even worst but the players shall move on. There are many matches who have been awaiting intermilan in serie a to get its scudetto as soon as possible. The club has already forget the champion league exit caused by they must put all of their focuses in winning scudetto this season.
It's time for whole of intermilan players to move on. A new record is a head of intermilan. It can be a good motivation to make sure all of players will be willing to win scudetto this season. Intermilan is one step closer to the scudetto this season.

I have opposite thought regarding it. Napoli is weaker compared to the intermilan. Intermilan was always owning napoli in the previous matches. how can napoli to win against intermilan that is still having unbeatable record till now in serie a? I would rather than bet on intermilan rather than napoli.
Intermilan lost through penalty against atletico madrid while napoli battered by barcelona. So, let's take a conclusion of intermilan is more favoring to win the current game rather than napoli. Calzona must be ready in facing another lose soon.

Currently Intermilan is at the top of the standings with a fairly high winning percentage and it seems like no team is able to catch up to its position because the points distance is too far, it could be said that InterMilan will be the winner in Serie A this season. Meanwhile, Napoli doesn't seem to be able to catch up anymore and will probably bounce back next season when the points standings start all over again.

In the second leg, where Atletico Madrid hosted the match, Inter really couldn't do it optimally. Moreover, Atletico  Madrid got very significant support when playing at home. Not only the ability but also the mentality and spirit of Atletico Madrid were much more prepared. Inter is actually strong, but at that time, Atletico played more effectively and solidly.

At least, Bologna can still optimize this opportunity to get full points because they are playing against Empoli, one of the lower clubs who is currently struggling to get out of relegation, but it's nothing.
Bologna provided a lot of attacks. And they also didn't allow the opponent to move any further. Even though Bologna only narrowly won with 1 goal, that was enough for them to stay in that position. Because they almost just drew. It's just that Fabbian saved the team with his goal in the 90+4 minute.

How happy they are.

I don't think they really need to worry about the Champions League that much because they still have a good option of winning Serie A. Assuming they don't have options like winning the league now, I may say they will be that so worry.Even before, Inter Milan did not only focus mostly on the champion league; they focused on both the league and the champion league mostly. If Inter Milan focused on the Champions League like that, they should have benched some of their key players when they played Bologna when they knew they had a tough match ahead against Atletico. so. I don't think that eliminating them from the Champions League will cause a lot of damage to their players. 
 
In Inter's next match against Napoli, I know the match will be tough because Napoli's performance has improved, so if Inter Milan really needs three points from the match, they need to be serious because now that Napoli is also out of the champion league, they will focus fully on the league now just to get an opportunity to end the top four in the table so they can qualify for the next season's champion league. 

Intermilan was not playing badly but it's just unlucky caused by it was playing away. Intermilan did some horrible executions duringt he penalty and this is also makig the situation worst when the first failed penalty was happening. It gives major impact to the next executors even lautaro martinez lost his cnofidence to execute it.
that's why his shoots were going up and became very inaccurate. The early executors must able to help club to win the title of this season. Winning scudetto is more than enough for intermilan fans. I do agree with you if the result against ATM totally unpredictable.
None ever imagined that how intermilan lost the game against ATM which is a shameful result for intermilan even though the club was performing so perfect in this match,

The truth remains that Inter Milan is the best performing team in the league right now as the evidence is clearly seen in the league table so losing against ATM will affect them but that wouldn't stop them from focusing on the most important thing to them right now which is securing the league trophy which they are 70% sure of winning already due to the gap between them and the second place so playing against the defending champions Napoli who also lost against Barcelona shouldn't deter them from dropping points.

For the other teams Bologna and Empoli, Bologna has shown that they have got what it takes to be in the champions League next season i think that's one important achievement they will be proud of take the performance till the end of the season, they were better in performance today despite winning with a lone goal.

It's true, Inter can still celebrate by winning the Scudetto even though they were eliminated in the Champions League, their fate is even better than several teams that are still in the quarter finals at the moment. If Dortmund, ATM, Barcelona and Bayern are eliminated, then they will end the season empty-handed, in that case Inter is still better.

Returning full focus to Serie A will make Inter quite tough in the remaining matches ahead, Inzaghi fleet has a big chance of sweeping all matches with a win. It is possible that they can collect 100 points this season, Napoli and Milan are teams that might trouble their steps.

Inzaghi can freely experiment with his main squad, giving the younger players more time, and they can relax while waiting for the season to end. It's disappointing to go out so early, and that's football we can't completely predict. Napoli could become an outlet for Inter players, it is very likely that the defending Serie champions will be completely massacred as a way to vent their disappointment.

The only standout match of the day is the one between Inter and Napoli, both teams have just come out of the Champsion League, we need to see if Inter will have the right motivation to play a match in a championship they have already won.
In the meantime, Bologna won again against Empoli and confirms itself as the fourth strongest team in the Serie A.
It would be an incredible result for them and for Tiago Motta to qualify for the next Champion.
