Inter Milan Vice-President Predicts Champions League Final Vs PSG ’50-50′ – Adds ‘Lautaro Deserves The Ballon D’Or’

Nerazzurri Vice-President Javier Zanetti declared that “I’m proud of Inter’s performance” against Barcelona.

“Between the first and second legs the team showed commitment. They had to overcome some setbacks.”

“In the semifinals, two teams faced off with well-defined and different attacking styles,” Zanetti argued.

“Lautario and Thuram on one side. Yamal and Pedri on the other.”

Meanwhile, Zanetti said of the final that “I think it’s a 50-50 match.”

The Inter Vice-President argued that PSG “also deservedly reached the final.”

“It’s a one-off match,” Zanetti added. “And we have to play it and hope that we can keep up the level that we saw over these two semifinals.”

Then, Zanetti praised Inter coach Simone Inzaghi. “He’s an absolute leader of this team,” the Vice-President said.

“He’s been with us for four years. And he’s made everyone very competitive.”

“With him we’ve reached two Champions League finals in three years,” Zanetti noted.
