Five Inter Milan players are almost certainly gearing up for their final shot at winning the Champions League against PSG tomorrow.
Today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note how all of Francesco Acerbi, Yann Sommer, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marko Arnautovic, and Matteo Darmian are 35 and older.
Inter Milan face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final tomorrow.
For every one of the Nerazzurri’s players, there is certainly a feeling that this could very well be their last chance.
No team or player is ever guaranteed to reach one final. Let alone two, as a big part of Inter’s squad have.
There are a number of players in Inter’s squad who should have quite a few years ahead of them playing at the Champions League level, however. Whether for the Nerazzurri or for another club.
But there are also a few players who are very unlikely to get to another final.
Matteo Darmian is 35 years of age. Meanwhile, All of Yann Sommer, Henrikh Mkhitaryan , and Marko Arnautovic are 36.
And Francesco Acerbi, despite still being a starter for Inter in the Champions League, is 37.
While it’s not outside the realm of possibility that these five could get to another final, time is certainly not on their side.
Therefore, the Corriere note, tomorrow will be a huge do-or-die opportunity for the veterans.
