Inter Milan supporters unveiled a banner reading 'this is what you deserve' after their poor Europa League campaign

INTER MILAN fans boycotted their match with Sparta Prague in the Europa League in protest against the state of their club. 

The Italian giants have been in disastrous form with four defeats in five games which has led to the Inter Ultras to voice their disapproval at the results.

A banner was unveiled in a stand which read ''four defeats in five games that's all you deserve for your undignified efforts shame on you!''

Inter were already out of the Europa League before tonight's round of matches but have finished bottom of their group which included teams Hapoel Beer-Sheva and Southampton.

Supporters feel humiliated to be finishing bottom of a Europa League group when just six years ago they beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

Inter have lost to Israeli side Beer-Sheva twice which infuriated supporters and they have now had enough of not challenging at the top of Serie A or in Europe.

Inter are 10th in the league and their chances of qualifying for the Champions League are very remote which meant winning the Europa League would have been their best chance of getting back in to Europe's elite competition.

After winning the treble under Jose Mourinho in 2010 the club have only won the Coppa Italia in 2011 since that famous season, and it does not look like they win another trophy anytime soon.

Inter beat Sparta Prague in this evening's game 2-1 after a 90th minute winner from Eder, the fact that there were no fans to celebrate with tells the story.
