Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti spoke on Inter’s return to the Champions League but admitted the focus for now is on the game with Parma at the weekend in an interview held on the sidelines of the first Festival of Sport based in Trento.

“We are back where we have to be. We were drawn in a very tough group but with enthusiasm and the right conviction we can succeed.

“Before the international break we had a great victory over Bologna. In the coming days, all the players who have been on international duty will be back and available to manager Luciano Spalletti. Now we have to focus on the match with Parma and then we will think about the many more commitments that await us.”

Zanetti also commented on the Festival of Sport itself.

“I believe that sport should play a fundamental role in everyone’s life. This first edition is an important event which I am proud to participate in.”
