Italian Teams Facing Upset in Champions League

Reflection on Inter’s Performance

Are the Italians experiencing distressing memories of Norway after this match? It’s certainly a possibility. Following Inter’s disappointing result against FK Bodø/Glimt, losing 5-2 on aggregate, the outlook for the Champions League now appears quite bleak for Italian clubs.

Disappointing Results for Serie A Teams

In addition to Inter’s struggles, Napoli did not even advance from the group stages, while both Juventus and Atalanta Bergamo find themselves trailing in their respective matches—Juventus (losing 5-2 at Galatasaray) and Atalanta (facing a 0-2 deficit in Dortmund) as they head into their return fixtures tonight. A poor outcome could mean no Serie A team progresses to the round of 16.

Shifts in Champions League Prospects

However, as the saying goes, “one person’s trouble is another’s advantage.” Inter’s exit could potentially benefit the Bundesliga, increasing the possibility of an additional Champions League spot for the upcoming season. According to ‘Football Meets Data,’ the likelihood now stands at 63.54 percent, reflecting an increase of three percent.

Changes in Chances for Teams

The chances for Spanish clubs have also climbed to 20.34 percent, while Italy’s prospects have significantly waned, dropping below two percent.
