Zielinski: winning the Champions League is Inter's dream
Post
๐ฐ Inter's Piotr Zielinski has set the bar high, calling Champions League glory 'our dream'.
๐ Key points
๐ Zielinski said winning the Champions League is the team's dream.
๐๏ธ He felt Inter controlled the game at Real Madrid despite a 2-1 defeat.
๐ฎ๐น He named Roma, Juventus, Napoli, Milan and Como as title rivals.
๐ Inter have 13 points from five league games (four wins, one draw).
โฝ Their first game after the break is at home to Parma on 10 October.
๐ What happened
๐ค Zielinski spoke to reporters at the Premio Gentleman awards in Milan on 7 October. "Of course it is our dream to win the Champions League and we'll give it our all," he said, adding that Inter want to do better than last season.
๐ช๐ธ He pointed to the defeat in Madrid as a source of belief. "Not everyone can go to the Bernabeu and dominate the game the way we did, keep possession and create chances," he said. "Unfortunately, we lost on the night, but it showed us we are strong."
๐ Asked about the title race, he listed "the usual suspects" Roma, Juventus, Napoli and Milan, plus Como. He also said it is good that Inter can come back from two goals down, but it would be better to win without needing to.
๐ By the numbers
โข League record: 5 games, 4 wins, 1 draw, 13 points
โข League goals: 15 (the most in Serie A)
โข At the top: Roma, Inter and Lazio all on 13 points
โข Champions League at Real Madrid: lost 2-1
๐ญ Why it matters
Inter are the defending champions after winning their 21st league title last season. Zielinski's words make clear the squad wants to retain the Scudetto and go further in Europe. Inter host 15th-placed Parma (4 points) at San Siro at 6pm local time on 10 October in Serie A Matchday 6.
