Inter Milan has lived a nightmare for ten days. The sequence started with the loss of the title of Italian champion in favor of his Neapolitan rival. And on Saturday, the Nerazzuri was the laughing stock of Europe by bowing very heavily against PSG in the Champions League final (5-0).

But the Lombard club had not yet touched the bottom. In the process, Simone Inzaghi, who has managed to lead the Milanese club to two Champions League finals in three seasons, formalized his departure and above all a report written by a London banker and revealed by the Italian site Affaritaliani reveals more than doubtful financial practices when the Chinese owners arrive.

Thus, to stay in the nails of the financial fair play established by UEFA, the Chinese group SUNING would have declared 300 million euros in ghost sponsorship contract, which made it possible to artificially inflate the club accounts in the eyes of the European body, which had already sanctioned Inter Milan in 2015 for non-compliance with economic rules. The Nerazzuri would also have benefited from the extreme leniency of FIGC, the Italian League, the Covisoc, the financial monitoring body of Italian professional football (equivalent of the DNCG in France), undergoing pressures so as not to exclude the Milanese club.

Barça to replace Inter Milan …

The revelations, relayed on the other side of the Alps by the Rai, obviously did not go unnoticed and some see it asking that the Champions League final won on Saturday by PSG is replayed and that Barça, eliminated by Inter Milan in the semi-finals, replaces the Nerazzuri.

“The final must be replayed”, “that the final be replayed with the Barca in place of this corrupt club”, “the club must be harshly sanctioned and the final replayed with a club that respects the rules in its place”, “no the final must be replayed and the Barca must replace the Inter! “,” The final is canceled and PSG faces Barça “,” suddenly cancellation of the final against PSG and match replay against Barca? »… These are some of the reactions to heavy accusations against Inter Milan.
