Simone Inzaghi “Proud” Of Inter Milan Season Despite Busted Treble Dream | OneFootball

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi insists he is ‘proud’ of this season, even though the Nerazzurri could end up empty-handed.

Speaking to Prime via FCInterNews, the 49-year-old also previewed the upcoming clash against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Despite exiting the Coppa Italia and falling behind Napoli in the Serie A title race, Inter still have a lot to play for this term.

Indeed, with four games left in the domestic championship, they can still hope to defend their crown.

However, the Nerazzurri must park their domestic ambitions today and focus on the task ahead.

Barcelona have returned to be a formidable force under Hansi Flick and enter this semi-final tie as a favorite.

Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi must beat the odds again to guide Inter in the second Champions League final in three years.

The Italian powerhouse overcame Bayern Munich in the previous knockout round.

Per Inzaghi, the same approach could be a recipe for success against Los Blaugranas.

“All matches are open,” Inzaghi said. “Even two years ago we played against Barcelona and put in two great performances.

“We’ll need to do the same again – like we did against Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

“The team knows that it will take two great games, with focus and constant decision-making.

“We’ll try to play it in the best possible way; qualification is over 180 minutes, and we always start to win.

“We didn’t have the best final week, and against Roma we had Pavard’s injury.

“I still have some doubts about Thuram’s condition.

“We’re fully aware we’re playing a Champions League semi-final with great enthusiasm. We’ve analyzed what happened in the past week.”

Meanwhile, Inzaghi doesn’t believe the ‘treble’ hype undermined Inter’s campaign.

“Absolutely not. I’m proud, I repeat, of what we’ve done,” he insists.

“We’ve put everything we had on the pitch without making calculations, reaching this stage with maximum commitment.

“Now we’ll see what happens. We’re still in the running for two titles and we’ll tally things up at the end.

“By looking at the first 50 matches of the season, leaving aside the last three that we could have played better.

“We have a few injuries, like other teams we’ve faced. It’s been a long and demanding season.

“Even speaking with other coaches, the Champions League this year has been much more challenging than in the past.

“But putting aside the last three matches, I’m proud of this excellent season.”
