Italian football defensive issues lead to failures
Italian clubs participating in the 2025-2026 Champions League are facing a series of repeated defeats, with four teams suffering losses in four separate matches — an unprecedented event. Roma, Inter Milan, Napoli, and Como all suffered significant losses, accompanied by a decline in defensive performance, as they conceded numerous goals. Experts have pointed out that the core issue lies in the decline of the defense, which was always considered a key strength of Italian clubs. To confirm the crisis, Italian teams have failed to advance past the Round of 16 in recent seasons, and the national team has not qualified for the World Cup for the third consecutive time, reflecting an overall decline in Italian football. Experts discuss that the economic crisis and its impact on club players is one of the reasons for the poor performance, while José Mourinho noted that Italian clubs have become among the top levels.
