Inter Dominates at De Kuip as Roma Suffer Another Champions League Collapse

Inter’s 3-0 win in Rotterdam strengthens their path in the group while Roma’s 2-0 lead at Old Trafford evaporated, raising fresh tactical and mental questions for the club.

Overview

  • Inter beat Feyenoord 3-0 at De Kuip on Tuesday with goals by Bisseck, Francesco Pio Esposito and Piotr Zielinski, producing a controlled away performance in a hostile stadium.
  • The victory moved Inter to six points in the group and gave coach Cristian Chivu a momentum boost that improves their chances of reaching the knockout phase if they maintain consistency.
  • Roma surrendered a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2 to Manchester United after Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty on a retake and Matheus Cunha scored twice to complete the comeback.
  • Two decisive refereeing episodes shaped the night: VAR confirmed an offside that ruled out a disallowed Inter goal and the Fernandes penalty was ordered to be retaken after an encroachment by a Roma player.
  • Both coaches framed the results as lessons—Chivu praised Inter’s reaction after the derby while Gian Piero Gasperini warned Roma must fix second-half fragility before key upcoming fixtures such as the November 25 match at Paris Saint-Germain.
