So you don’t think the Inter fans with work tomorrow are happier getting home by 10 instead of midnight?
Possibly, but that's not the reason they've made this change. Hence half of the Champs Lge games taking place in Italy this season are kicking off at at the later kick off time of 9pm local time - including Inter's game against Barcelona which I'm sure more Inter fans will be interested in that tonight's fixture.
Also, a quick glance at Serie A fixtures indicates that Serie A midweek games tend to kick off at 8:30pm CET, so I don't think your argument holds when it appears that Italy's own preference for their own fixtures is to kick off games closer to the traditional 8:45pm kick off than this new 6:55pm slot.
