Nerazzurri CEO Beppe Marotta feels that Inter Milan have reclaimed their rightful place on European football’s grandest stage.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final against Manchester City, via FCInterNews, the Inter CEO stressed that from his perspective, the team have gotten back to where they belong by reaching European club football’s most high-profile match.
After thirteen years away, Inter are back in the Champions League final.
In the meantime, it’s been a tough road for the Nerazzurri. Numerous ups and downs have marked the past decade and change.
Over the last few seasons, however, the trajectory has been decidedly upwards.
Even despite some serious financial issues that have plagued the club, the trophies have returned to Inter. The Nerazzurri have won the Serie A title, and two Supercoppa Italiana and Coppa Italia trophies over the past three seasons.
Nowever, however, they have the chance to win a bigger prize than any of those.
In under a week’s time, Inter will face off against Man City for a chance at the big one. The Champions League final.

“I say this with pride on behalf of the whole club,” he continued. “On behalf of Zhang.”
