With the 2014 2015 Serie A football season half over, Inter Milan is in a distinctly less attractive position than they were a year ago. Indeed, during the 2013 2014 season, the squad barely ever fell out of the top five. This year, they are struggling to retain a slot in the top 10. Luckily for fans of the Inter Milan soccer kit, though, the club is on the right track for contention in the 2014 2015 Europa League.
Indeed, with just one match left to be played in the tournament group stage, Internazionale has already earned guaranteed advancement to the knockout phase.

This attractive Nike kit, with its black color and light blue pinstripes, could make a great gift for the football fan in your life this holiday season.

European Glory
Right now, the UEFA Europa League, or UEL, is the event to watch if you are a fan of Inter Milan.
Play for the UEL groups began back in September, with Internazionale drawing into Group F along with Azerbaijan's Qarabag FK, France's Saint Etienne, and the Ukraine's FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. Since then, they've made short work of Dnipro (1-0 away, 2-1 at home), logged a stalemate with Saint Etienne (0-0 at home, 1-1 away), and won an easy victory against Qarabag (2-0 at home).
Players will don the Inter Milan soccer kit on December 11th for one last Group F match: a rematch against Qarabag. Though the home field advantage will be with the opponent, Internazionale has the momentum thanks to their already-guaranteed advancement to the knockout phase. Expect Milano to win the football match easily.
The KnockoutsÂ
Thanks to their strong run in the group stage, the wearers of the Inter Milan home jersey 2014 2015 will now advance to the Europa League knockout phase. As of right now, there's no telling which team they will face in the round of 32. However, since the club will win their group, they will be seeded among the batch of 32 teams, which means they will surely face a lesser football squad.
In other words, Internazionale should have little to no difficulty advancing to the round of 16. That's at least what happened two years ago, the last time Inter Milan played in the UEL.
That year, they faced France's Lyon in the round of 32 and easily won both legs of play. In the round of 16, meanwhile, Milano lost 0-3 to Tottenham Hotspur in the away leg, but won 4-1 in the home leg. That brought the score for the round to 4-4, but Tottenham ultimately won based on the away goals rule.
Because of that razor-thin defeat, the wearers of the Inter Milan soccer kit will surely have something to prove in the 2014 2015 UEL.
Serie A Struggles
That's not the only reason that Internazionale will have something to prove when knockout competition begins in the UEL come February 2015. On the contrary, players will also want to make up for their struggles in the 2014 2015 Serie A.
Not that Inter Milan has exactly done badly in the premier Italian soccer division this fall. On the contrary, they've had a few big victories, like a 7-0 home win against Sassuolo back in September. However, substantial losses against Roma, Parma, and Fiorentina have not done Milano any favors.
As for the embarrassing 1-4 home loss the team suffered against Cagliari earlier this year, the less said of that, the better-at least as far as most fans are concerned. Needless to say, a successful run in the Europa League would give football fans a reason to be proud to wear the Inter Milan home jersey 2014 2015 again.
