MILAN – Inter Milan became the only Italian representative who appeared in the club Champions League 2020-2021. How not, from the four Group B matches of the 2020-2021 Champions League, not even if Romelu Lukaku and his friends won!
Of the four matches, Nerazzurri – nicknamed Inter Milan – only got two points, the results of two draws and two defeats. Most recently, Inter Milan lost 0-2 to Real Madrid on the fourth matchday of Group B of the 2020-2021 Champions League, Thursday (26/11/2020) early morning Western Indonesian Time.

As a result of this defeat, Inter Milan were increasingly pinned down to qualify for the last 16 of the 2020-2021 Champions League. Currently until the group stage matches with two matches remaining, Inter, who are immersed at the bottom of the standings, are five points adrift of Real Madrid in second place, or the deadline for teams that qualify for the last 16 of the 2020-2021 Champions League.
Therefore, only a miracle can see Antonio Conte’s side appear in the knockout stages of this season’s Champions League. If they fail to reach the last 16, Inter Milan will tarnish the good name of Italy’s representatives in the Champions League, like last season.
For your information, last season Italy was represented by Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and Atalanta. However, only Inter Milan, Italy’s representative, failed to qualify for the last 16 of the 2019-2020 Champions League!

The events of last season have the potential to repeat this season. Because, of the four representatives of Italy in the Champions League this season, only Inter have no signs of qualifying for the last 16 of the 2020-2021 Champions League.
This season, Italy is represented by Juventus, Inter Milan, Atalanta and Lazio. The Bianconeri – nicknamed Juventus – have already qualified for the last 16 after picking up nine points from four Group G matches in the 2020-2021 Champions League.

Then Atalanta, currently in third place in Group D of the 2020-2021 Champions League with a collection of seven points, exactly the same as Ajax Amsterdam in second place. Even with the top standings team filled by Liverpool, Atalanta is only two points away.
To qualify for the last 16, The Goddess – Atalanta’s nickname – requires at least four points from the remaining two matches. In the remaining two matches, Atalanta will host FC Midtjylland and visit Ajax headquarters.
What about Lazio? Lazio are currently in second place in Group B of the 2020-2021 Champions League with a collection of eight points, one point adrift of Borussia Dortmund in the top spot. Of the two remaining matches, Lazio only need three additional points to qualify for the last 16 of the 2020-2021 Champions League.
