Face Of The Franchise
A woeful Inter Milan blew the chance to finish top of Group A as they were cut down by a resurgent Werder Bremen. Goals from Sebastian Prodl, Marko Arnautovic and Claudio Pizarro compounded the misery on a woeful night for Rafa Benitez.
The pressure on the Inter boss will now increase as Bremen remain bottom of the pile despite their final matchday success. Inter arrived in Germany with a much-changed line up for a game they needed to win if they were to have any chance of overhauling Spurs.
Key names such as Wesley Sneijder, Lucio and Diego Milito did not even travel, while injury deprived them of Julio Cesar, Walter Samuel,Coutinho, Joel Obi, Maicon and Christian Chivu. Not having that abundance of talent at your disposal is sure to weaken your team. But it was the manner of the defeat that will surely worry Benitez.
Inter are the Champions League holders and won the treble last season, but there was scant evidence of the spirit that saw them triumph last year.
