Tomas Zanetti indicates his father's most beautiful goal in the '98 final

Tomas Zanetti, son of Javier, is growing up in the Nerazzurri youth sector and has won the 2025/2026 Ballon d’Or awarded by the publication Sprint e Sport. Born in 2012, the young midfielder finished the season with the Under 14 team of Accademia Inter by scoring 27 goals in the league, despite playing as a defensive midfielder.

Father and son were interviewed together by the same publication. When asked about their favorite player from the Argentine national team competing in the 2026 World Cup, both answered Messi. When it came to talking about Inter, the vice president preferred to emphasize the importance of the collective: “When you are part of a group that has won like Inter did this year, you have to mention the whole team.” Tomas, on the other hand, took a stand and named captain Lautaro as his favorite.

Both Zanettis confirmed their bond with Argentina, choosing Buenos Aires over Milan and asado over pizza. On the son’s most beautiful goal, Javier recalled the one scored against Milan at Vismara. Tomas, instead, indicated his father’s goal in the 1998 UEFA Cup final as the most beautiful.

To the final question about the World Cup, the former Nerazzurri captain answered from the heart: “If you ask me, I say Argentina, we know it will be very tough, but I hope Argentina wins.” The son simply added: “Me too.”
