Overview
- Inter lost the second leg 2-1 at San Siro as Jens Petter Hauge and Hakon Evjen scored for Bodø/Glimt before Alessandro Bastoni pulled one back.
- Cristian Chivu said his team were outworked and "not competitive," noting the visitors had "a lot more energy" in the second half.
- The coach highlighted a freshness disparity due to Inter’s congested calendar, compounded by injuries to Lautaro Martínez and Hakan Çalhanoğlu and a limited Denzel Dumfries.
- Inter controlled territory and volume with 33 shots and 10 corners but put only six efforts on target against a low block that they struggled to unlock.
- Analysts, including Fabio Capello, argued Italian sides falter against high-tempo, press-and-run teams, as Inter now turn attention to the Serie A race and a Coppa Italia semi-final.
