Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski isn’t hiding his ambitions for the season after going top of the Champions League table against RB Leipzig.
The Polish international spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, after the 1-0 win.
Inter seemingly put one foot in the knockout rounds of the Champions League with their victory over Leipzig this evening.
The Nerazzurri are now top of the table for the “league phase” of the competition. At least until Liverpool face Real Madrid tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in Serie A Inter are right in the thick of a fierce title race. They are vying with the likes of Napoli, Fiorentina, Atalanta, Lazio, and Juventus at the top end of the table.
Then, there will be matches in the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana on the way in the next couple months.
Clearly, with all of these commitments it will be tough for Inter.
But Nerazzurri midfielder Zielinski wants to be ambitious.
Piotr Zielinski: “Inter Milan Want To Go All The Way In All Competitions”
“Clearly winning in the Champions League is always tough, and always beautiful,” Zielinski said after Inter got a 1-0 win over Leipzig in the competition.
“Particularly in front of our fans.”
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy because Leipzig are a physical team,” Zielinski said. “And we did have to give a lot physically.”
“In the last fifteen minutes we had to suffer. But we did well.”
Then Zielinski said that “of course” Inter would like to get back to the Champions League final.
“That’s what every player dreams of,” the 30-year-old said. “For me, it would be the first time.”
“On the other hand, the other guys in the team know what it means to play in the final and would like to reach another one.”
“But we have to win as many matches as possible to get there and then win it.”
“We have a strong team,” Zielinski said. “And we want to compete on all fronts and go all the way on all of them.”
