Inter Milan bowed out of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday with a 3-0 defeat
Inter Milan, which bowed out of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday with a 3-0 semifinal second-leg defeat by AC Milan, suffered its third loss in a week as its treble-bid risks coming apart at the seams.
Roma took the lead at the San Siro in the 22nd minute through Matias Soule and Inter could find no way back and fell to a second successive league loss after its 1-0 defeat by Bologna last Sunday.
Inter, which needs to recover before Wednesday’s Champions League semi final first-leg at Barcelona, is second in the standings behind Napoli who have now 74 points.
This evening’s result was a hugely damaging one for Inter
However, Nerazzurri wingback Matteo Darmian insisted that “we can’t give up.”
“Despite these last few losses, we still have a lot to play for.”
Darmian noted that “we know how hard it will be.”
“But we have to stay united in the dressing room, and across the team. And look forward. Now, there’s no point saying anything else.”
Then, Darmian admitted that “it’s a shame, because these have been very big losses. But from the next match onwards, we’re facing a match that’s fascinating, but difficult.”

“We’ll do everything to bring it home,” Darmian said of facing the Blaugranas.
He said that “We’ll be prepared, the way we always are.”
“Often, these matches prepare for themselves somewhat,” the 35-year-old said of coming up against Barcelona.
“It’s normal that we have to recover both physically and mentally,” Darmian added.
“But we’ll be prepared the way we always are. And we’ll go to Barcelona to put in a good performance.”
