Diego Simeone Waxes Lyrical about Inter Boss Simone Inzaghi | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has named Inter among the top three European teams, alongside Barcelona and Manchester City. During his recent interview with Telemundo Deportes via Calciomercato, Simeone highlighted Inter’s meteoric rise to the continent’s elite under Simone Inzaghi.

Despite lacking a ‘classic‘ superstar, Inter boast a star-studded squad. Above all, Simeone appreciates the team’s chemistry, crediting Inzaghi for creating a perfect mix of seasoned veterans and up-and-coming talents.

“Today, which are the three best teams in the world? Barcelona, Inter, and Manchester City. I like Inter a lot; it’s a team without a star but with many important players,” the former Nerazzurri star said.

“The work of Simone Inzaghi has created the ability to compete in the best way possible with a practical and dynamic style of play. He has done very well in recent seasons, reaching the Champions League final and winning the Scudetto. They are a team, they are a team!“

Simeone’s statement isn’t far from the truth. Despite last midweek’s late heartbreak at Bayer Leverkusen, Inter have been a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League and Serie A under Inzaghi. They’re well-positioned to secure automatic knockout qualification at Europe’s top table and are firmly in the running for a second consecutive Scudetto.
