Italian Media Hypothesise âWhat Ifâ Netherlands & France Stars Had âBeen At Their Bestâ For Inter Milan In Embarrassing UCL Exit
Inter Milanâs attacking output has been extraordinary this season, and Gazzetta dello Sport have raised the tantalising question of what might have been in the Champions League had Denzel Dumfries and Marcus Thuram been operating at their peak.
According to Gazzetta, via FCInterNews, Inter have scored 75 league goals after 32 games, a remarkable total that leaves them 27 ahead of second-placed Napoli and 28 clear of Milan.
Indeed, it is a statement to anyone who still believes Italian football is defined by its defences.
Furthermore, in the season of the second star, Inter reached 77 goals at the same stage, confirming a consistent attacking trend across recent campaigns.
However, Gazzetta cannot help but pose the question, what if both had been fully fit for the Bodo Glimt tie?
Dumfries returned only for the second leg after ankle surgery.
If Denzel Dumfries and Marcus Thuram had performed at their peak, it is hypothesized that Inter Milan's Champions League results could have been significantly better.

Thuram was well below his best throughout.
Therefore, the painful early European exit looks even more avoidable in hindsight.
Especially given the form both have shown in the final weeks of the season.
Thuram has now hit double figures for the third consecutive season.
And, indeed, is targeting his personal record of 18 goals, currently sitting on 15.
Meanwhile, Calhanoglu is on nine league goals and closing in on his own double figures.
Pio Esposito, still covering for the injured Lautaro, is on six.
And he will have further opportunities to add to that tally in the run-in.
