Simone Inzaghi could have done like so many others: praising the merits of her own club, especially at a time when Inter Milan is shining on the European and national scene. Engaged in an exceptional season, the Italian team aims for a historic quadruple. However, on the eve of a crucial match in the Champions League, Inzaghi surprised by his modesty … and a declaration which risks waving the debates.
Asked at a press conference on the opponent of the day, Simone Inzaghi did not hesitate to praise Bayern Munich. And even more, to classify it among the global references: “It will be a big match against the best club in the world with Real Madrid. »» An indirect tackle at FC Barcelona, often quoted in this kind of record, but totally ignored this time. A position that undoubtedly reflects the reality on the ground more than historical prestige.

Inzaghi also had very strong words with regard to Bayern coach Vincent Kompany: “An intelligent coach, with an assertive personality, who was able to quickly give an identity to his team. »» An unusual recognition between technicians, which underlines the seriousness with which Inzaghi approaches this European shock.
