Lautaro Martinez and theInter Can they stop City? Pressed with this question by colleagues from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Alejandro Gomez spending sweet words for Toro while maintaining that the Nerazzurri’s mission in Istanbul is “very, very difficult. Lautaro is playing very well, he’s at an incredible level and I like Inter a lot. But City today as today as a team is a step above all the others, all of them”, says Papu.
In the City there is Julian Alvarez.
“With Lautaro, he represents the offensive future of the Argentine national team. They are young and strong, we’re fine for about ten years. There is important competition between them today, they are two very great players, important in their clubs. Julian is starting but he’s already gained weight at City and after the World Cup he’s aiming for a treble at 23. They’ll give us great joy.”
Mourinho has 225 European benches, Mendilibar 6.
“Experience counts up to a certain point: I’m thinking of Scaloni, who hadn’t coached anyone. We won the Copa America, the Finalissima and the World Cup with him.”
What ending do you expect?
“Difficult, closed. The Italian teams know how to defend themselves, Roma more. They won the Conference, and are now in the Europa League final: the merits are obvious. Among her talents, she also has cunning, and she is good at restarting counterattack. They’ll let us have the ball, we’ll have to try to make good use of it. And then we know Mourinho well, he’s someone who prepares the finals very well: he’s won them all in Europe.”
