Javier Zanetti examined Inter’s exit from the Champions League in mid-week and spoke on the other competitions which Inter can still win.

“The goal last season was to qualify for the Champions League and unfortunately our path ended with the match against PSV but that does not mean that we have no more goals. Serie A, Coppa Italia and Europa League are three very important competitions for us, we will continue to look to perform well in all of them,” he said in an interview with Chinese news outlet Xinhua.

Zanetti then proceeded to discuss club captain Mauro Icardi.

“His contribution is always very important. I hope he can stay here for many years and become a legendary player in the team’s history.”

He concluded the interview with a message for Inter’s many Chinese fans.

“Every time we arrive in China, there are many fans waiting for us at the airport, I thank them for their support.”
