Below-average offensive production hampers Inter

Offensively, Inter hit a low point in the game against Bayer Leverkusen as they didn’t have a shot on goal. It’s the first time something like this has happened in three years. The Nerazzurri seemed content with a draw but allowed a late goal.

Per La Gazzetta dello SportThe last time they failed to score was in a Champions League game against Liverpool in February 2022. Although their results were solid, their front was not fearsome.

Marcus Thuram was their only consistent goalscorer, while Lautaro Martinez had ups and downs and their deputies, including Mehdi Taremi, who they signed after a long fightback, contributed very little.

While this comes as no surprise to Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa, who have rarely seen the pitch, Inter expected more from the Iranian goalscorer. He started every continental game but only scored once. He has not yet managed to do this in Serie A. While Thuram carried the load, Martinez found the net six times and is well behind schedule by his standards. He also missed great opportunities.

Our opinion on Inter

The problem is there, but it is a first problem for now. Overall, they have still scored 34 goals in Serie A, making them the second most successful team in the entire league, and their results have not suffered. El Toro Multi-month crises are nothing new for him, and as soon as he goes up in flames, they take flight. It will be a problem for other teams as Thuram has moved up a level and his pace seems completely sustainable.
