Simone Inzaghi Leads Inter to Second UCL Final

Simone Inzaghi — the head coach of Inter Milan — has silenced critics questioning his team’s legitimacy in the UEFA Champions League. The Nerazzurri have now proven themselves by reaching their second final in the last three seasons.

Last season, Inter Milan faced criticism for what many considered an easy route to the final — defeating Porto, Benfica, and AC Milan, before losing to Manchester City in the decider.

But this season has been different. Simone Inzaghi’s squad had to battle through a far more difficult path, defeating:

• Feyenoord with 4-1 aggregate
• Bayern Munich with 4-3 aggregate
• Barcelona with 7-6 aggregate

The victory over Barcelona was especially significant, as the Catalan side had dominated European competition all season. A perfectly executed counter-attacking strategy by Inter dismantled Barcelona’s aggressive play.
