Mehdi Taremi was ‘so glad’ to get his first competitive Inter goal and said their aim must be to at least reach the Champions League Final this season.

Hakan Calhanoglu opened the scoring with what was surprisingly his first direct free kick goal for the club, then Taremi’s high press won back the ball twice to set up Marko Arnautovic and Lautaro Martinez goals, before the Iranian converted the late penalty himself.

Taremi named Man of the Match after 4-0 victory

“I am glad to score tonight, to play good, thanks to my teammates. It was great,” Taremi told Sky Sport Italia.

It was his first competitive goal for the Nerazzurri and he was deservedly named Man of the Match by UEFA.

“I am so excited, it took a while for me to score, but I always tried to do my best in training, I fought for this moment and managed to get the goal tonight.”

They are the reigning Champions of Italy after winning the Scudetto last term and famously reached the Champions League Final in 2023, losing narrowly to Manchester City, so what does Taremi believe their target is this time around?

“Our goal as a big club is to reach the Final, as Inter must try to win every game. We will take it step by step.”
