Former Inter owner and president Massimo Moratti was among the special guests at last night’s annual Inter Christmas dinner and spoke with the gathered reporters at the event.

“Inter were in a difficult group in the Champions League, a group in which there were many pitfalls,” he began.

“Inter are first in the league standings though and I do not think that anybody could have been sure that that would be the case. They have really been very good.”

He was then asked for his thoughts on the current state of the team ahead of the January transfer window.

“I believe that the makings of a team is already there but it will be up to the manager to evaluate whether or not he thinks he needs some help.

“In January all of the injured players will come back. Inter are well placed and do not have a need to go all out in the transfer market.”

In conclusion, he was asked if he thinks Inter can go all the way and win the Serie A title this season to which he simply responded: “Yes.”
