Inter Women, Sassarini after the 6-0 defeat: “We must learn”

Inter Women’s heavy defeat against OL Lyonnes prompted Gianpiero Sassarini to take stock of the situation. The Nerazzurre were beaten 6-0 in the Champions League during an evening dominated by the French side. After the match, the coach urged the squad to examine what happened carefully and turn the defeat into an opportunity for growth.

“We must learn from matches like this”: the coach’s message was clear and focused on what comes next. Lyon imposed its pace and quality, while Inter were unable to contain their opponents or bring the game back under control. Becho’s hat-trick made the final margin even heavier, with the forward emerging as the match’s outstanding player. Sassarini therefore opted for a constructive reading without hiding the gap that appeared on the pitch.

For Inter, the defeat follows the 0-0 draw against Napoli Women, a result that had left the Nerazzurre alone at the top. The club’s official schedule now lists Milan-Inter on Saturday 31 October at 20:45, although that match concerns the men’s first team. For the women’s side, Sassarini’s warning is the starting point for rebuilding greater awareness.
