One of the biggest boasts for Inter fans this season is certainly the European performance of their team, which continues to deliver impressive performances and satisfying results. With five rounds of the Champions League completed, Simone Inzaghi’s team is currently in second place in the new overall ranking of the competition with 13 points, gained through four victories and a draw.
Even better than the Inter first team is another nerazzurra formation that is excelling in this season’s European competition, namely the Primavera team. The boys of manager Andrea Zanchetta have won all five matches they have played so far against the same opponents as the first team in the Champions League, according to UEFA rules.
It’s truly a perfect performance for these young Inter players, who were all born between 2005 and 2007. No other team in this season’s Youth League 2024/25 has managed to match Inter, which now stands alone at the top with 15 points. The nerazzurri’s closest chasers are FC Salzburg and Sporting Lisbon, who are two points behind with 13 points so far.
Inter Primavera doing wonders in the Youth League: first in the standings and the best attack
For the U19 boys of Andrea Zanchetta, the first place in the Youth League standings after five rounds has been largely due to an offensive phase that works to perfection. They have already scored 18 goals in these first five matchdays, an average that is higher than three goals per game exactly 3.6.
No one has done better than Inter in terms of the number of goals scored. Fans can dream big hoping that this young group can continue at these exceptional rates and advance as far as possible in the competition. The team’s top scorer is Slovenian midfielder Luka Topalović who has scored three goals so far.
The five victories out of five for the nerazzurri came with impressive scores: 2-4 on the field of Manchester City, 4-0 at home against Red Star, 2-3 in Switzerland against Young Boys, 4-1 at home against Arsenal, and finally the victory with 3-2 on Tuesday against Leipzig’s peers.
There could be room for improvement in the number of goals conceded as seven in five games could eventually be a limiting factor. However, with an attack that well-oiled, coach Zanchetta and his team currently have no cause for concern.
In the next two months, the final three matches will be played – for the team of Simone Inzaghi these will be against Bayer Leverkusen, Sparta Prague, and AS Monaco – with the goal of seeing Inter’s Primavera team finish at the top of the Youth League standings to observe an excellent dual progress of both Inter formations.
