Antonio Cassano With Unhinged Attack: 'Even If Inter Milan Win The Champions League It Would Be A S*** Season'
Antonio Cassano With Unhinged Attack: 'Even If Inter Milan Win The Champions League It Would Be A S*** Season'
Antonio Cassano delivered a brutal verdict on Inter Milan's season ahead of a heavyweight Champions League (UCL) showdown against Barcelona.
Speaking on the latest episode of Viva Futbol via FCInterNews, the former AC Milan and Inter striker had no mercy for the Nerazzurri.

Despite vying for a second treble in 15 years until not long ago, Inter could finish the season empty-handed.
Indeed, in addition to a dismal Coppa Italia semi-final loss to Milan, Simone Inzaghi's men have slipped to second in Serie A.
Last weekend's 1-0 home defeat to Roma saw Napoli steer three points clear at the table's summit.
Therefore, the pressure is at an all-time high ahead of tomorrow's trip to the Iberian Peninsula.
Unlike Inter, Barcelona are on cloud nine after beating Real Madrid to Copa del Rey glory over the weekend.
Hansi Flick's high-flying charges are firmly in contention for a treble as they also lead the way in La Liga.

Unfortunately, Barcelona's scintillating form paints a grim picture for the reigning Scudetto holders.

Despite Inzaghi's impressive results in the dugout, Antonio Cassano is seemingly not a fan of the 49-year-old.
'When everyone was hailing Inzaghi as the new Guardiola, I always said he's not a top manager,' he stated. 'He has no Plan B, he hasn't improved the players.
'There's no organization. Inter are so much stronger than the rest. They should've run away with the league: they should be 15 points clear.
'Now we're looking at something unexpected even for me. Inzaghi is making the same mistakes again after already throwing two league titles in the trash.

'Now we're at the third.
'Even if they win the Champions League, it's still a sh*t season. Di Matteo won it too, and then never coached again.
'Whether he wins or not doesn't change anything for me.
'What's been happening in the last few weeks is exactly what I've been saying for a long time.
'What bothers me the most are his post-match comments.
'I lose it when I hear certain things. I'm reminded of Mazzarri talking about throw-ins taken a few meters further up the pitch.'
Meanwhile, Cassano hailed Inter's strength in depth.
'Besides the starting XI, they've got players like Bisseck, De Vrij, Carlos Augusto, Darmian, and Martinez as backups.

'What other Serie A team has better alternatives? None.
'Even when you take out the three starting midfielders, they have Asllani, Zielinski, and Frattesi on the bench – no one else has that. Same up front.
'They have 21 players who are far superior to the rest of the league.
'I still don't see a single player who has improved under Inzaghi.
'Inter don't play good football, even though I keep hearing that this is the best football in the club's history.
'I see something completely different.'

Florian Wirtz set for Liverpool medical later this week
Florian Wirtz will undergo a medical on Friday ahead of completing his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. The plan, as things stand, is for Wirtz to arrive in the United Kingdom later this week ahead of the medical but both elements are subject to change. The Athletic reported on June 13 that Liverpool had agreed a fee of €136.3million (£116m), with €117.5m (£100m) due upfront and a further €18.8m in potential add-ons, to sign Wirtz. Advertisement The fee represents a club-record purchase for Liverpool and sale for Leverkusen, and would be a British transfer record if the add-ons are achieved. Leverkusen had reportedly set an asking price of €150m for the 22-year-old, which the Premier League champions did not intend to meet. Wirtz's Leverkusen contract runs until June 2027. The playmaker had also been targeted by Bayern Munich this summer but the Bavarians were informed last month that he favoured a move to Liverpool if he were to leave Leverkusen. Wirtz registered 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 matches in 2024-25 as Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga and reached the Champions League round of 16. In the previous campaign, Wirtz was key as Leverkusen won their first-ever German top-flight title with an unbeaten domestic season, alongside reaching the Europa League final. The Germany international scored 18 goals and assisted 20 in 49 matches, winning the Bundesliga player of the season award. Liverpool and Leverkusen have been in dialogue for a number of weeks after the Merseyside club met the €35million (£29.6m; $39.3m) release clause for Jeremie Frimpong. The full-back's arrival at Liverpool was announced on May 30, following the sale of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup. Wirtz and Frimpong have joined head coach Xabi Alonso in departing Leverkusen this summer, with the Spaniard taking over from Carlo Ancelotti at Madrid. Leverkusen have appointed former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag as their new head coach. ()
