Inter does not want to play with Real in the Champions League final

Although he did not say he wanted to face Manchester City, Zanetti said he wanted Inter to avoid Real, who won 14 games.

“This group deserved to play in another final after 13 years. We look forward to tomorrow, but what matters is what we have already done.

I would like to avoid Real Madrid, this competition seems to be made for them.

It was a long road, facing an opponent in the semi-finals is not easy. And I also felt it as a player. It was difficult.

This is football and the biggest compliments are to the team and the coach. He spoke a little and proved in deed that he is worthy to be in Inter” – Javier Zanetti for SkySport Italia.
