Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard delivered his verdict on the club’s outstanding Champions League triumph against Bayern Munich.
Speaking to Prime via FCInterNews, the French defender confirmed this squad knows no boundaries.
Despite taking a 2-1 first-leg lead in Munich, Inter knew eliminating the Bavarians wouldn’t be a comfortable proposition.
Harry Kane made it even more daunting for Simone Inzaghi and his charges when he opened the scoring at San Siro.
Yet, Inter responded almost momentarily through talismanic captain Lautaro Martinez.
Indeed, El Toro netted his eighth Champions League goal this term, equaling Samuel Eto’o’s record.
Furthermore, it was his 150th goal in the Inter jersey.
However, Benjamin Pavard stole the headline moments later.
The 29-year-old couldn’t have picked a better moment to score his first Nerazzurri goal.
His thumping header to complete the turnaround sealed Inter’s aggregate victory in this blockbuster tie.
As a result, the Italian powerhouse will lock horns with Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Despite donning Bayern’s shirt for four years, Pavard couldn’t hold emotions after opening his Inter account.
Indeed, he burst into wild celebrations.
“The goal was a great emotion,” he said after the game. “I’m very happy, but most of all I’m happy for the team.
“They put in a great defensive performance and achieved an important milestone.
“It wasn’t easy, but we knew that, we did a great job.”
Asked how far this well-knit Inter side can get, Pavard replied: “We’re not setting any limits.
“Since we’ve come this far, we want to keep going. We’re a great group with an excellent staff that’s been working well for two years now.
“Now we have the league match against Napoli, who are fighting with us for the Scudetto. Then the Bologna clash, which will be very tough.
“We need to win that one too.”
