Inter Milan took part in the contest in April 2025, winning the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia. Like 2010.
Inter Milan spends a season behind Napoli for most of the Serie, fighting to prove to everyone that they are ready to fight.
They are currently sitting at the top of the table, leading Napoli to three points. This comes after a key 0-2 victory over Atalanta.
The three points may not seem so, but the psychological benefits of exceeding and now extending the lead to Napoli are huge.
Conversely, Naples may have lost steam.
Once a team fights towards the top, it’s hard to see them give up on their leadership position. Especially considering Inter’s offensive firepower and the team’s overall craving for victory.
Inter Milan’s captain Lautaro Martinez rediscovered his scoring form with perfect timing. When the team needed him the most, as illustrated for Atalanta in Bergamo.
He is an Instrument not only in Serie A but also in the Champions League, his goal is to keep Inter and the Serie A team remains in the competition.
This hunger, drive and consistency makes him the biggest candidate for victory, both domestically and European.

Meanwhile, Juventus, who was considered a strong Scudet Challenger just two weeks ago, is behind the difficult 12 points.
This was after losing to Atalanta 0-4 at home, then losing to Fiorentina 3-0. This gap highlights the strength and consistency Inter has demonstrated throughout the season.
Nerazzurri’s ability to maintain momentum and control key equipment sets it apart from its nearest competitors.
What makes Inter even more formidable is their offensive style. This season, 17 different players from the team scored.
It presents an unparalleled level of contribution across the team. This ability to score diverse goals makes Inter one of the most statistically impressive teams on a global scale.
The offensive breed of a team means that even if one player is tired, there are plenty of others ready to step up and find the back of the net.
Inter Milano shows off pitches clearly
Behind the scenes, the fitness to victory for Inter is also a story of smart management and smart transition.
The club’s new owner, Oaktree Capital, has strengthened its responsibility to wisely allocate capital to technical director Beppe Marotta.
Rather than indulging in flashy spending, Inter builds and maintains the competition squad through smart capital allocations. This means that investment funds are the best.
This attentional approach allowed them to strengthen their critical position without compromising their financial stability. A model that many other clubs should pay attention to.
But despite their success, Inter faces serious scrutiny, criticism and judgement injustice.
Every time a team ties up a match, the media quickly criticizes them, often exaggerating small set-offs.
Lautaro Martínez himself is unfairly targeted, and critics question his form every time he experiences a drought of a short target.
Even some club fans have expressed doubts about the new ownership. I believe that player acquisitions are too conservative.
If Intermilan wins the Champions League and Serie A, then defense and midfield key
However, Inter proves that a highly structured team does not require excessive spending to succeed.
Instead, their systematic approach has built a team that can deliver results on both the Italian and European stages.
In addition to the strength of Inter, their defensive solidity. With a well-organized defense and an impressive midfield supporting both offensive and defensive, the team is barely broken.
Players like Nicolo Barrera and Hakan Charhanor are committed to directing theatre, allowing Inter to control the match from start to finish.
When the team lost steam like in the match against Monza, they regained inter and lead after being down 2-0 and finished the game 3-2.
The ability to quickly transition from defense to attack is a major factor in their success and will return if necessary. Inter’s hunger for success can be seen in both Italy and Europe.
The Champions League represents a great opportunity for Nerazzuri to win the trophy and bring in a total prize of around 100 million euros.
Inter Milan can win the Champions League
Their performance against top clubs shows they can go toe toe with the best, and their chances to win in Europe look stronger than ever, as Lautaro leads the charges.
In the future, Inter Milan could be its biggest season to date. My prediction? Jackpot. Inter takes the 21st Scudetto and lifts the Champions League trophy at Allianz Arena in Munich.
With unstoppable offenses, well-balanced teams and defenders like DiMarco scoring at any time, Nerazzuri is set to bring it all home in both Italy and Europe.
Brava Inter!
