Last 10 Champions League campaigns for Inter:
21/22 - two losses to Real (played well), R16 exit vs Liverpool (played well)
20/21 - two batterings off Real, 4th place with Gladbach and Shakhtar in group
19/20 - 3rd place exit, 2 losses in EV's last autumn at Barca and 1 point off of Favre's BVB; make it to EL final and lose to Lopetegui
18/19 - 3rd place exit behind Barca and Spurs (then finalists and semifinalists), even on points and goal difference with 2nd but lost out on away goal tiebreaker
6 year break
11/12 - 1st in shite group, get merked by Marseille in R16
10/11 - 2nd behind Bale-Modric Spurs, slide past Heynckes Bayern in R16 only to get romped by Schalke in QF
09/10 - 2nd behind Pep Barca, won it in the end
08/09 - 2nd behind Panathinaikos, lose to last CR season at United
07/08 - 1st in shite group, R16 exit to Liverpool (finalists)
06/07 - 2nd behind Bayern, R16 exit on away goals to Valencia
05/06 - 1st in shite group, barely make it past Ajax and Pellegrini + Riquelme Villarreal do them in QF
Could go on but the prevailing theme that often gets swept under the rug, is that this team are absolute CL group stage bums who have not won a single game vs a strong side in nearly 20 years.
Until tonight that is.
Tee hee
