(Reuters) - Inter Milan's false start in the Champions League with a home draw against Slavia Prague has only strengthened the idea that coach Antonio Conte is good in Serie A but less so in Europe, which the Italian had dismissed as a cliché before the match.

After winning their first three domestic league matches under Conte, Inter might have expected to cruise past the Czech champions whose close season transfer spending of around eight million euros (7.1 million pounds) was around one eighth of what the Italian side spent on forward Romelu Lukaku alone.
