Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has admitted his misfiring side's chances of reaching next season's Champions League are virtually over after their crushing 1-0 defeat to Genoa on Wednesday. "It was very difficult before and it’s very difficult now," Mancini said after a 77th minute strike from Genoa skipper Sebastian De Maio blew a hole in the Nerazzurri's hopes.
Defeat in Genoa, coupled with Roma's last-gasp win (3-2) over Torino thanks to a Francesco Totti double has given Mancini's men a mountain to climb. Inter remain fourth but are now seven points behind Roma -- who occupy the third and last Champions League qualifying place -- with four games remaining.
