It's time for Media Day at Inter. Five days before the Champions League final in Munich against PSG, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi spoke at a press conference.

The match in Munich is in the spotlight, but also the Saudi temptations with the super offer from Al Hilal: many topics on the table for the Piacenza coach.

Emotions and the league

"Two years have passed since the final and I still have great emotion. A beautiful and great goal. We played great games. We know that we are missing the last step to fulfill a dream and enter history. We will prepare in the best way. The league left us with something inside. There is a lot of suffering in me and the players. It's right to congratulate Napoli, it was a point-to-point game. You have to know how to lose and win. We missed something. Talking about something else would be to belittle an excellent journey of another team".

Sensations

"The week begins to arrive in the best way. I hope to have everyone. There is confidence for Pavard and Zielinski. The sensations will change day by day. We know that the opponent will be".

Heart

It will be decisive. We have always shown that we have it on the field. I am proud to train a group like this. PSG is a great opponent like all the others we have faced so far. We will suffer and we have to be good, as a real team. PSG also comes from a lost final. We are among the few who make a final in two years".

"Winning for history"

"We know that making two finals in 3 years I don't think has ever happened. Only Herrera managed to do it. To enter history, we have to win. We meet a super team. They will find a team that has the same goal".

PSG more difficult

"It's a great team, with great individualities. Very strong players, great quality. I highly respect Luis Enrique, he has already made Champions League finals and has given an identity. A great Inter will be needed to win".

Arabia

"My company knows me well. It's the usual. There are requests from Italy, abroad, and Arabia, but it would be crazy to think about that. The day after the game, we will sit down and talk with the only goal: the good of Inter. If there are prerequisites, we will move forward as we have always done."

Difference between Barcellona-Bayern and PSG

"All great teams but different. A complete team with a very large squad, but they will also have to look at Inter. He has made a great journey. The episodes will be decisive, we must direct them in our favor".

How is Lautaro?

"He's fine, he was available for Como. He will have a normal week. If he had been in Como, he would have entered".

PSG favorite: how to beat them?

"The spirit and organization can help us. In the final, you find great opponents. All the components we have already shown we have will be needed".

The final goes beyond disappointment

"Extraordinary guys in these 4 years. Fantastic group. I like the sense of belonging. I like how they are on the field, how they are together. Friday wasn't easy, it's a difficult championship to swallow".

About the future and the meeting

"There is unity with the company. I have a contract and I'm fine. The focus is on Inter. We know how important it is. We will talk with the good of Inter first. There is Saturday's game that goes beyond".

Conte's words on the differences between the Champions League and the league

"Everyone has their own ideas, the important thing is that there is intellectual honesty. I don't agree, even in the Champions League, the unexpected is always around the corner".

Having played a final is a resource?

"We know and at the same time, we know that there are coaches who have made finals and won World Cups, there is a coach who has won the Champions League. Let's hope that all the things put together can do well for Inter, knowing that we will play the game against a very high-value opponent".

League motivation

There is disappointment for the league. We could have done something more, despite what happened to us, but I don't talk about it to avoid disrespecting Napoli. The journey to get to Istanbul was not easy. But it's the past, the future is called PSG".

How much does the judgment change based on the Champions League?

"We know that it makes a difference, but the guys have been extraordinary. We played 59 games giving everything. We had some unexpected events, but without looking for alibis".
