Alessandro Bastoni has lowered expectations ahead of the match against Shakhtar Donetsk. The Inter defender explained that, for the Nerazzurri group, the Champions League has always been primarily a dream rather than the target set at the start of the season.
His words reflect realism after the 4-3 defeat to Club Brugge on October 13. Inter return to action today, Wednesday October 21, 2026 at 9:00 p.m., against Shakhtar, needing a more solid performance without hiding the difficulties of their European campaign.
