You always need to improve, and this team is also capable of doing great things in the future too.”
DE VRIJ: "CAN’T WIPE THE SMILE OFF MY FACE"
"I’m feeling enormous joy today, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. It’s a feeling I won’t forget: these are the objectives that footballers have during their careers, and it’s wonderful when you achieve them.
“Getting my hands on the trophy was amazing. We’ve achieved this objective with sacrifice and hard work over a long period. We all showed willingness to achieve this Scudetto triumph. A wall in defence? I’ve always given my all, just like everyone else. We’ve helped each other out and have been a tight-knit team. And we managed to reach our goal.”
RANOCCHIA: "A SPECIAL FEELING AFTER MANY YEARS"
“I’m so happy! There’s a great feeling of satisfaction after so many years… It’s really emotional, and many of us are experiencing this for the first time. All of this is special.”
DARMIAN: "A DESERVED SCUDETTO SUCCESS"

STELLINI: "ENTHUSIASM AND DESIRE TO PUSH FORWARD”
"This is a wonderful moment. An important Club with a big fanbase like Inter shouldn’t have to wait for so long to experience joy like this. We’ve achieved excellent results in Italy thanks to a fantastic group, and this project should continue. The Club will give us the answers to this; however, if this project can continue, we have the enthusiasm and desire to push forward. When you work with a top coach, any projects must be of a high-quality standard. Inter are now a team that excels in Italy and has the ambition to grow in Europe too – this is our objective. It’s a triumph that was difficult to imagine and construct. It’s the result of extraordinary work from everyone, which is why Inter need to push on and have the energy to continue to grow.”
