Speaking to Sky Sport, Inter President Beppe Marotta talked the day after qualifying for the Champions League semifinals:

**SEMIFINAL –** “It is a great source of pride for the club, for the fans, but above all for our coach who deserves enormous credit, and for our team. It’s a particularly happy moment, but it’s not the end of our journey in this competition.”

**SEASON –** “Regardless of the final result, this is undoubtedly a positive season, the continuation of a cycle that began with Inzaghi’s arrival and in which we have been protagonists in Europe like never before. We are always competing in Italy, so this season should definitely be considered a positive one.”

**TROPHIES –** “Choosing between objectives or wanting to win everything? We are Inter, with a history full of success behind us, so it is obligatory to aim to win every competition. On Sunday, we have an important match in Bologna, perhaps the most important match of the year. We’re playing for a chunk of the league season, but Inter is used to playing every three days to compete at this level.”

**LEAGUE –** “The league is certainly still at an intermediate stage, there are lots of points available and anything can happen. But this is a fundamental test for us against one of the most in-form teams at the moment. We need to be champions until the end and understand that our role requires us to face valuable teams in just a few days’ time. Bologna is a strong team and that’s the mindset we need to start from.”

**INZAGHI –** “I consider Inzaghi a young coach, but one who has gained a lot of qualities. He’s a winner, a good manager tactically, and he’s also very good at managing a group that itself has grown in mentality over the years. I believe that this group has been able to turn defeats into opportunities for growth.”

**INZAGHI RENEWAL –** “A renewal? Yes, he has another year on his contract, but I think it’s right that a coach shouldn’t go into the final year of a contract. We’ll sit down to extend the deal, but it will be a pleasant and quick meeting where we’ll find a new agreement.”

**LAUTARO –** “The contract has sealed a great sense of belonging between the player and the club, further strengthened by the fact that he is our captain and should possess greater qualities than his teammates. I believe he has grown as a man alongside his footballing maturity; today he is our leader, a player who has clearly experienced exponential growth.”

**CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DREAM –** “Winning a Champions League is the only thing I’m missing; it would be a source of great satisfaction. I consider it a dream, but since dreams do come true, we must believe in it. We’re not underdogs compared to Barcelona, and we have an obligation to believe in ourselves and in what we can do.”
