After a tense and dramatic semi-final of the Champions League, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi gave a detailed account of his team's victory and the two matches against Barcelona at a press conference. According to him, this victory was not a coincidence, but a result achieved through real work and heart.

It is not easy to beat Barca

"First of all, I congratulate the opponent - Barcelona. They are a complete and fully formed team in every way. But our players showed the whole of Europe today how much they can fight, both physically and mentally. I am proud of them, they give me the honor of being a coach every day," said Inzaghi.

Two terrible games and team spirit

Both games against Barcelona were not easy. We had various injuries, structural problems, but the team played with heart. This is a very important aspect of football - playing with heart, not just tactics and technique. The guys showed that.”

Yamal and de Jong - team impressions

When asked by journalists to comment on the stars of “Barcelona”, Inzaghi said:
“A lot has been said about Yamal - he is really young, but he has a great talent. But I was surprised by another player - this is Frenkie de Jong. He showed with every move on the field that he is the heart of the team. But despite such stars, I would not trade my team for anyone. Their passion, enthusiasm and loyalty are the greatest values for me.”

The goal is the final and beyond

Inzaghi concluded his speech by emphasizing that the team is striving for maximum results in the final as well. According to him, Inter are not just trying to get to the final, they are trying to win it.

“We haven’t won anything yet. Even though we have reached the final, we still have a very serious test ahead of us. But with this team, with this character, we dream not only of getting to the final, but also of winning it. And I believe that these guys deserve it.”

With these thoughts, Inter’s performance in the final will undoubtedly become even more interesting and inspiring for the fans. Now all attention will be focused on the decisive final.
