Inter vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Antonio Conte’s Inter is back in the running for qualification to the round of 16, centering their first win in Group B with a pyrotechnic and exciting 3-2 win over Monchengladbach. The challenge of Borussia Park has given impetus to the Nerazzurri, always last with 5 points but now hoping to get an unexpected qualification until a week ago. Secondly, winning against Shakhtar, if on the one hand, it might not be enough to move on, would be useful to grab third place and advance to the last 16 of the Europa League.

On the other hand, Shakhtar also, almost suddenly, reopened their chances of taking a place in the round of 16, conceding a sensational encore against Real Madrid. In fact, after beating the Blancos 3-2 in Spain, the Ukrainians also won 2-0 in Kyiv, rising to second place with 7 points, in the company of the meringues. For Luis Castro’s team, the goal of the round of 16 has returned to being real, aware that a defeat against Inter would sanction his final exit from Europe for this season.

As for the prognosis, the match is without appeal for Inter and if the Nerazzurri still want to hope for the qualification they have to win. Failure to do so will result in elimination from Europe, which would sound like a total failure.
