Mauro Icardi didn’t see enough of the ball and Inter failed to take their chances in a 1-0 loss versus Genoa. Inter travelled to Genoa in good form after disposing of Scudetto contenders Napoli 2-0 at San Siro. The Rossoblu were hammered by Carpi 4-1 in the last round and while they claimed that a heavy injury list was to blame, not least the excellent Mattia Perin who will miss Euro 2016, they still should have fought harder in this fixture. Inter however, started well and defended well as Gary Medel drifted into centre-back on more than one occasion and the full-backs pushed on. Felipe Melo was also superb… via ESPN FC – Internazionale News http://ift.tt/1SwJQw2 http://ift.tt/1T0semC

That win and Roma's subsequent last-gasp draw against Atalanta on Sunday has opened up the race for the Champions League spots again. The last games of the Serie A season could now be a real opportunity for Inter to realise their preseason goal of reaching Europe's elite competition.

Coach Roberto Mancini is certainly focusing on consistency between now and…
