— Aug 28th 2025The thoughts of Inter Vice President Javier Zanetti after Inter's eight League Phase opponents were revealed
From Monte Carlo, where the League Phase draw for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League took place, Inter Vice President Javier Zanetti commented on the Nerazzurri's upcoming journey, which will see them face Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Ajax, Slavia Praha, Kairat Almaty and Union SG in Europe's premier competition.
“We're starting again with the great enthusiasm of this group: it's the beginning of a new journey with a new coach. Reaching the final was a major achievement. It didn't go our way, but we have to look forward. Football always gives you new objectives. We like this competition, and we'll honour it as always. Going for it again won't be easy, but the aim is always to go all the way. Chivu? When we played together, it was easy to imagine that he would become a coach. The same goes for Cambiasso - I always thought that of him too. I know Chivu very well; he was an outstanding teammate, on and off the pitch. He had an important spell coaching in our Youth Sector with the Primavera. Now, he has this great opportunity, and it's up to us to support him and give him everything he needs to have a successful season.”
