Our ranketh continueth:
Four words to describe this team: really good, really old.
Last season, Inter won 94 points and posted freakishly good underlying numbers. I was really looking forward to seeing how they'd match up with a Manchester City or a Real Madrid, and it seemed like they were cruising halfway through the second leg of the round of 16 tie against Atletico Madrid. But then they just totally lost control of the match, blew the lead, and went home before the quarters.
Also last season: Inter's average age, weighted by minutes played, was 29.1 -- the fourth-oldest across the Big Five leagues. So they spent this past offseason turning over the squad and bringing in some younger players, right? Right?
Through four games this year, their average age has crept over 30.
Enjoyeth the returneth of the Champions Leagueth. (No, no one edits these.)
