The ambition to reach a miracle that carried Inter Milan at the Veltins Arena is not achieved. In fact, they again were forced to defeated by Schalke 04. this time with the scores 2-1, (13 / 4).
Raul Gonzalez and Benedikt Howedes scored the goals to complete a huge two-legged victory over the reigning champions and book a semi-final date with Manchester United. While Inter could only score one goal by Thiago Motta.
Inter's defeat makes ambition to retain the title achieved last season finally failed. They must be eliminated at the quarter-finals by 3-7 aggregate from Schalke. Inter 3-7 Schalke.
Playing with the best squad minus Cristian Chivu, Inter actually try to take the initiative to attack from early the match. They realized, hunt four goals at home to Schalke's not easy.
Concerns were evident. Inter aggressive game could be balanced by Schalke. Although can not play Jefferson Farfan affected accumulation, Schalke still look well in front of their own supporters.
Inter's first mistake was when they had to lose 2-5 in 2nd leg at the Giuseppe Meazza. And, in the 2nd leg at the Veltins Arena, I Nerazzurri back has not learned from previous mistakes, and often do a lot of carelessness.
