Inter Milan have picked up just two wins from the last five games in the league on the back of the eight-game winning run pointed out earlier as they have failed to take advantage of the recent poor form of league leaders and city rivals AC Milan.

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has his work cut out if the Italian tactician is to deliver Champions League knockout stage football for the first time in his tenure as the Nerazurri boss.

Ex-Chelsea and Juventus manager Conte was appointed the Inter Milan boss at the start of the last campaign and big things were expected of the former Italian international player but he has not been able to reach those expectations. Under his watch, Inter Milan failed to mount a sustained title challenge in the Italian Serie A last season as the Nerazurri finished a distant second to champions Juventus who won their eighth successive league title as a result

Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte says that he is looking forward to the crucial Champions League game against Barcelona at the San Siro. Inter have been fighting for a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League in a very difficult group that also contains Barcelona. The Spanish club may have had their troubles this season, but they have been able to perform extremely well in recent months. The Catalan outfit sit at the top of the group with 11 points, while Inter have been able to get a fresh lease of life following the 3-1 victory over Slavia Prague.

The victory helps Inter ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the table, as the group stages head into the last match day. Inter now know that qualification to the last 16 is in their hands, but the team needs to beat Barcelona.

Chelsea lost their last pre-season game against Inter Milan when both sides clashed in Singapore on Saturday.

The Blues lost 2-1 to the Italian side. StevanJovetic was fouled by Cesar Azpilicueta so the ref pointed to the spot. Jovetic penalty kick was saved by Chelsea first choice stopper Thibaut Courtois but the forward netted the rebound.

GeofrreyKondogbia scored an own goal to restore parity but the Premier League champs could not build on it to get the equalizer. They could not even maintain the draw as Inter got another goal. Alvaro Morata played closer together with MichyBatshuayi – who has enjoyed a good pre-season run – but they could not break the resolute Inter side.

Jovetic and Manchester United target Ivan Perisic combined for the second goal as the Croatia international sent his shot low from a tight angle to beat Courtois. Perisic would have added or setup another but Courtois intercepted his combination with Portugal international Joao Mario.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte would not be too pleased with the result as they are to face Arsenal next week in the Community Shield game, being winners of the league vs. winners of the FA Cup. Batshuayi leveled proceedings but it was ruled offside but replays showed his close range effort after latching onto a Cesc Fabregas pass was actually onside.

Conte has decried wanting a better fate compared to that of Jose Mourinho and Clauido Ranieri after their league win. There is anxiety and uncertainty at Stamford Bridge ahead of their league title defense. Conte hopes the team calms down and play their normal game that saw them soar onto a title win after a shaky start last season.
