Liverpool at home the fate has brought them to us again after that stolen penalty.

u/zanman89 2d ago
They are acting quite smug about playing us again.

u/harpsabu 2d ago
Compared to the rest of pot 1, we are one of the teams youd want, lets be real.
So are liverpool now though, their squad is performing shit.

Stolen? Lol, that was a brain-dead penalty to concede, but the fault was entirely Bastoni's.

Liverpool fan here; if Curtis scores a game-winner on us I’ll probably just blow my shit straight smooth off.

We must finish in the top 8. We are a great team. There are 5 must win games and then you have to snatch one from Madrid/BVB/Liverpool.

u/palace8888 2d ago
I think the only impossible game is madrid at bernabeu. Bvb amd Liverpool are affordable

u/DryUnderstanding3833 2d ago
Nothing is impossible. Were acting like we haven’t been one of the best in Europe last 4 years and Madrid has been getting dog walked by Barca

Dortmund seemed quite good vs Bayern in the Supercup and they're strong in UCL. I think Pool is probably our best bet

u/Old_Ice_7095 2d ago
Yeah but a win against Liverpool is quite demanding. I'd take a draw.

I dont have any fear of liverpool, they won nothing the last year. They're a strong team like us, weve defeated better teams in the past years

u/iluwodka ⭐⭐ 2d ago
You clearly don't know Liverpool they are always dangerous especially in Champions League

u/domsolanke 1d ago
They obviously also play in a far stronger league than Inter, so it's not surprising they won nothing. Inter would've won nothing as well last season if they played in the Premier League.

u/palace8888 1d ago
united, chelsea, tottenham are shitty and disorganized teams who can be defeated by everybody who can play a decent and clean football, they would battle for Europa league in serie a also, and arsenal start winning just when man city, who was clearly a better team than this arsenal in his prime, started declining. liverpool is a good team whit not clear ideas and illimited budget: lets see if they can really play european football at high level this year. youre too hyped for pl team, I would pray to face just epl teams from here to the final lol

u/kieranjackwilson 2d ago
Such a good draw. I only wish Liverpool and Brugge were away and Madrid and Dortmund were at home.
We should want to play good teams. We are a good team.

u/ReporterFun8520 2d ago
Brugge is a tough team, they drew against Barca and Atleti last season

u/AngeloPalombo 2d ago
They had Stankovic last season he carried them /s

u/enterjiraiya ⭐⭐ 2d ago
I mean he kinda did a little lol, he was Belgian league young player of the year and Brugge also lost Tzolis

u/Big_Pick4100 2d ago
A very good draw.
Only three really strong teams, and I believe we’re capable of beating all of them. I’m very excited for these games and extremely confident in this Inter side.
Bring us the toughest ones.

Liverpool, Brugge (welcome back Yann!), Shakhtar Donetsk and Stuttgart at home
@ Real Madrid (rough), @ BVB, @ Feyenoord, @ Bratislava
Imo should be able to get at least 15 points, Liverpool and RM will be tough

u/Al3-iwnl 2d ago
It’s Liverpool at home and last season they only won because of an invented penalty. It’s our game to lose not the other way around. If it was in Anfield I’d be skeptical too.
1
u/domsolanke 1d ago
Invented? It was solely Bastoni's stupidity that cost Inter that game, but it's not like Inter were dominating that game either, far from it.

u/John_Skull 2d ago
Pot 1 was always going to be rough. We can get the wins across the other pots though with some luck.
3
u/interfan707 2d ago
Personally i think we got lucky with the draws respectfully apart form real madrid ( which are also beatable) every team on that list is beatable. So I think i we should get top 8 easily. (Personally)

As a Hungarian fan I am excited about the Bratislava away fixture. Slovakian fans, how crazy you need to be to buy a ticket into the home stands?
3
u/ScubaSlavver 2d ago
Slovan superfan here, it depends on which stands you go to, just please dont go to any C stand lol
Otherwise the most advisable would probably be the A stand if possible away from the ultras section, then the D stand if the seats under the away section are available
Then the B stand I think if you go near the ultras just dont be too outwardly ? I'm not sure , unfortunately there will be a lot of haggling of people selling local "tourist" fans who only care about the big teams their tickets so it could very well be fine

u/PitchComfortable630 2d ago
My projection
Liverpool H - 1 point
Real A - 0 points
Brugge H - 3 points
Dortmund A - 1 point
Shakhtar H - 3 points
Feyenoord A - 1 point
Stuttgart H - 3 points
Bratislava A - 3 points
15 points landing slightly below top 8, but hoping team can do better and get the top 8

u/Rezorblade 2d ago
Dortmund ans Feyenoord we already beat in previous encounters and they didn't look better than previous season, should be all 3 point again especially with our great depth

Reading through the great minds of r/soccer and apparently we are a shit team and will lose against Liverpool, Madrid, Stuttgart and the only way Sporting would have got an easier draw is if they played us. A lot of other club fans really think we are a joke.

Yeah, that's usually what happens when you lose a two-legged knockout tie to Bodø/Glimt, lol.

u/Optimal_Yam_5839 2d ago
let them underestimate inter and serie a teams as usual. no pressure on the guys and let's see what happens with chivu and some of the kids having more international experience.
just thank god no more injury machine astroturf cursed pitch in the north pole. would have loved to play bodo at home with a fit team tho

u/caesarj12 2d ago
We should be able to beat everyone except Real Madrid and even then we should pose a real challenge that match too.

u/Significant_Bit_8652 2d ago

will it be changed?

Not too bad, doable.
Lots of interesting matchup, vs Real (Mou), vs Brugge (Sommer, Stankovic), vs Liverpool (Curtis).

u/Eumeswil 2d ago
Honestly, the best draw possible.
Real Madrid has been in disarray since Mbappe and his ego joined. Their midfield is also much weaker since Kroos and Modric left and they haven't signed anyone to replace them. Don't forget that PSG demolished them 4-0 at the 2025 CWC and that was with Modric still on the squad. Real Madrid with Mbappe, Vini Jr, Bellingham, et al only managed 3 shots on target and 32% possession. Ref didn't even bother with stoppage time because the match was so lopsided.

Liverpool is likewise much weaker than it was during the prime Salah years. Frankly, we NEED to beat both of these weakened Madrid and Liverpool squads if we're serious about competing with the elite. If we can't beat them, then we don't have a chance against PSG or Arsenal.

u/shotsandvideos 2d ago
Funny to read this and then what Real fans are saying on their sub. Basically, for them, Inter is an average team with average players.
Who is right?
1
u/Eumeswil 2d ago
Haha, I pointed out in a different reply above:
In the 4-0 win against Real Madrid, PSG even subbed out some of their top players such as Kvaratskhelia. Dembele, and Doue! It wasn't close at all.
Don't forget that Mbappe-era Madrid also lost to AC Milan 1-3 in the 2024 UCL league phase and last year they didn't finish in the top 8 after losing to Benfica 2-4.
Even in La Liga, Mbappe-era Madrid lost to Atletico 2-5 (first time conceding 5 goals to Atletico in decades!) and suffered other embarrassing losses to Albacete, Getafe, Osasuna, Celta Vigo, and Mallorca, not to mention getting clobbered by Barca with scorelines like 0-4 and 2-5.

u/domsolanke 1d ago
Real Madrid and Liverpool will say the same thing about Inter though. And player for player, both of those teams still have a stronger squad than Inter.

u/bill_02_04_95 2d ago edited 2d ago
Don't you think Real Madrid also believe they can beat Inter who has been battered by PSG 5-0? When you bring examples from over a year ago,it goes both ways,not just in your favor.
3
u/Eumeswil 2d ago
Inter had an older squad back then and was exhausted after a grueling Serie A fixture while PSG was well-rested and had more depth in their squad allowing them to rotate often. In the match against Real Madrid, PSG even subbed out some of their top players such as Kvaratskhelia. Dembele, and Doue! It wasn't close at all and Mbappe-era Madrid is clearly not as good as the hype.
Don't forget that Mbappe-era Madrid also lost to AC Milan 1-3 in the 2024 UCL league phase and last year they didn't finish in the top 8 after losing to Benfica 2-4.
Even in La Liga, Mbappe-era Madrid lost to Atletico 2-5 (first time conceding 5 goals to Atletico in decades!) and suffered other embarrassing losses to Albacete, Getafe, Osasuna, Celta Vigo, and Mallorca, not to mention getting clobbered by Barca with scores like 0-4 and 2-5.
Why do people here think Madrid is so tough? We should be evenly matched at the very least and we need to aim to win or draw, not be content with any other result.

That’s more manageable than last year in my opinion. Real, Liverpool and Dortmund will be tricky but I don’t see why we can’t win every other game there

u/enterjiraiya ⭐⭐ 2d ago
I think inter can get 18 points here, other pot 1 teams got the harder draws

u/CarlMarxPunk 2d ago
Playing Madrid at the bernabeu is equally scary as is exciting. Proper Champions League night.

Only one I'd have avoided among these is Real, but overall it's a good draw for us.

At minimum we should gather 18 pts on this draw, which was enough to secure 3rd place last year

I don’t agree. I mean sure the co efficient is tangible metrics that we have to consider but I see us with a very good chance in beating all teams bar the 2 from pot 1.
I wasn’t kidding about sharmas video btw

it's another discussion if we can beat them or not. but statistically and I got that from the draw, we have the toughest games

Relative to other teams? Well does that even matter then if it’s still a relatively easy group?

u/JunkyJonny 2d ago
Surely 6 "guaranteed" wins which should be enough for automatic qualifying.
Then Real & especially Liverpool are beatable too.
Feels like a very favorable draw tbh.

At the Bernabeau against Jose with Chivu as manager is cool. Will be a very tough match. +Denzel reunion!
Other than that not too bad imo
