“Concentration and determination but without obsession,” insisted Inter Milan, Simone Inzaghi, this Friday on the eve of the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Germany.

“We have world champions, in Europe … we know how to prepare the champions League final, it is like a final of the Eurocup or the World Cup. We know that tomorrow's game will be played in a few margin,” warned the interist coach. “We are going to try to be clean and precise in the circulation of the ball, so as not to give possession to the PSG.”
Inzaghi said that French international defense Benjamin Pavard, in the process of recovery, could be available to play on Saturday. After the press conference, in which Lautaro Martínez and Nicolo Barella also participated, the Milan giant trained on the grass of Allianz Arena, just over 24 hours from the final.
