Inter Milan slumped to a late 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in last night’s heavyweight Champions League clash at the Metropolitano Stadium.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Tuesday’s loss in Madrid added insult to injury following Sunday’s heartbreak in the Milan derby.
Cristian Chivu has suffered back-to-back defeats for the second time this season.
Indeed, after falling to a narrow 1-0 loss to AC Milan last weekend, Inter conceded in the 93rd minute last night.

Jose Maria Gimenez’s last-gasp winner undid what had otherwise been a commendable performance from the Nerazzurri.
Despite controlling large stretches of the contest and equalizing through Piotr Zielinski, Inter left Madrid empty-handed.
Indeed, another lapse of concentration saw the Nerazzurri give away a late corner-kick, which resulted in Atletico Madrid’s winner.
Furthermore, Manuel Akanji, who enjoyed an impressive game, made another crucial mistake.
After losing track of Christian Pulisic in the derby, the Swiss defender was again at fault, failing to win the decisive aerial duel against Gimenez.
