Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti spoke in an interview about the Nerazzurri's goals in the new season of the Champions League and said the team would do its best to go further in this competition.

In the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan successfully advanced to the final after overcoming various challenges. Unfortunately, they lost to the French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain 0-5 in the final and missed the championship throne.

Javier Zanetti said, "Reaching the final is a huge achievement in itself, even if the outcome is disappointing. But football always teaches us that there are new goals ahead. This is a new season, and in this competition that we love so much, we will give our all as always and strive to go further."

Speaking about Inter Milan coach Chivu, Javier Zanetti said, "Yes, I always expected Chivu to become a coach. He is an extraordinary teammate on and off the court. From his intelligence, you can see that he is destined to take this path."

"He has this great opportunity now and all we need to do now is to support him fully and give him everything he needs to succeed in Serie A and Europe."

In addition, Inter Milan coach Chivu said, "The Champions League is an extremely important and prestigious competition, and Inter Milan hopes to play an important role in it again."

“We will face top and very competitive teams and play in stadiums filled with an exciting atmosphere. I am confident that we will be ready and give back to this tournament in the best possible way.”
