Tension and anticipation are rising just hours ahead of the UEFA Champions League final. Inter Milan is preparing for the most important challenge of their season, and ahead of the clash, the voice of club vice president Javier Zanetti has resonated with the confidence and motivation that define the Nerazzurri spirit.
In his statements, the legendary former Inter and Argentina national team captain shared the mood inside the squad: “We’re motivated to play a great match on Saturday and hopefully finish with a happy ending,” Zanetti expressed.
A major point of focus in the lead-up has been the physical condition of Lautaro Martínez, the team’s captain and top scorer, who dealt with a knock during the semifinal series. Zanetti, however, offered reassurance and dismissed any concern about Lautaro’s fitness and availability: “Lautaro is doing well. He had a minor injury, but we’ve been taking good care of him,” confirmed the vice president.
With optimism running high and Lautaro set to start, Inter Milan now turns its full focus to claiming European glory. The countdown to the final continues, and Inter fans are clinging to the belief and desire to make history in the German capital.
“Let’s hope we don’t suffer against him”
Beyond the imminent Champions League final, Inter is already looking ahead to the ambitious FIFA Club World Cup set to take place in the United States in June 2025. The tournament will feature top clubs from around the world—including Argentine giants River Plate.
With deep ties to Argentine soccer, Zanetti took a moment to comment on River and one of their rising stars, Franco Mastantuono. With a smile, he said: “Let’s hope we don’t have to suffer against him at the Club World Cup.” He didn’t hold back the praise either, adding: “He’s one of the most promising talents to emerge from Argentine football in recent years.”
Inter heads into both the Champions League final and the Club World Cup with motivation, key players in top shape, and the ambition to add more silverware to their storied history.
