Italian media slam Cristi Chivu after Inter's Champions League collapse

Inter Milan, coached by Romanian Cristi Chivu, lost 3-4 at home to Club Brugge in their second Champions League match, following a prior defeat to Real Madrid, sparking harsh criticism from the Italian press. Italian media heavily criticized Chivu's tactics, particularly defensive fragility and lack of balance. Publications like FCInter1908.it gave him a score of 4, calling the performance a "disaster," while others awarded 5, questioning his lineup choices and suggesting goalkeeper changes. The loss leaves Inter in 28th place in the Champions League standings, jeopardizing qualification for knockout stages. Critics noted this was the team's fifth defeat in nine European matches, highlighting recurring organizational problems and a lack of squad rotation.
