Inter Milan Coach Hails Collective Effort After Reaching Second Champions League Final In Three Years: 'Credit To Everyone'

“It’s been a long journey to reach the final,” Inzaghi started. “We took it step by step.

“Everyone remembers the last two legs against Barcelona.

“But even beating Bayern was incredibly difficult because they’re such a great team, organized, and physical.

“The quarter-finals were as intense as the semi-finals. Those were four games of incredible intensity.

“We’ve had an outstanding journey over the past few years.

“Reaching two Champions League finals is the result of everyone’s hard work and sacrifice.”

Then, Inzaghi recalled Inter’s heartbreaking defeat in the Istanbul showpiece.

“We all remember that final very well as we played on equal footing against a very strong Manchester City side.

“We probably deserved to take that game to extra time, but that performance gave us great confidence in our abilities.”

Finally, he admitted the age difference between PSG and Inter shouldn’t be a factor in the final.

“I don’t think being a slightly older team is a problem. In fact, it really helps in certain moments of big matches.

“I have a group of excellent footballers, but above all, great men who always work in the best way and try to stay composed.

“Winning would be the crowning achievement of the incredible work we started four years ago.

“It’s a hugely important final. We want to give our fans this great joy, and we’ll give everything we’ve got to make it happen.”
