Former Inter striker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has claimed that even AC Milan do not know how they won the 2021/22 Serie A title.
Speaking at the Trento Sports Festival which was organised by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), the German former striker suggested that Stefano Pioli’s Scudetto winners were not exactly a classic example of champions.
It is true that the title win came sooner in Milan’s project than expected, but Rummenigge seems to think even less of the team that beat his former side, Inter, to the title.
“It was a great team. The only thing I haven’t understood to this day is that we didn’t win a Scudetto at that time. In 1984 the team was well put together in defence, midfield and attack,” Rummenigge said.
“Then in a certain period we let ourselves get a bit and lost precious points, a bit like what happened two years ago to Inter when Milan won the championship, and they don’t know how they managed to win it until today either.”
Rummenigge played for Inter between 1984 and 1987 but he is mostly known for his time at Bayern Munich, both as a player between 1974 and 1984 and then as the vice president and Chairman of the Executive Board of the Bundesliga side.
He failed to win any trophies with the Nerazzurri but he was very successful with Bayern and West Germany.
He is not wrong. But it starts with take Bologna seriously.
What is this clown blabbering about? This name reminds me of something, wasn’t this the same guy who said to Kroos that they won’t play him more than 10M/Season because he is not world-class, remind me if I am wrong. Anyway, he should be prepared to see them losing another Scudetto to us this season.
I am not sure who is more of clown here, but I bet it is you…
LOL, what is an Inter fan doing here. Do you really take Rummenigge’s words seriously, that guy has a history of blabbering bull$hit.
It’s your coach Simone Inzaghi.
He is mentally weak and that trickles down on to his players.
He and his team mentally fell apart after they lost the derby to Milan. Milan took advantage of that and beat your team for the scudetto.
Those 2 Giroud goals changed the whole season. Prior to the 75th minute, in a game where inter dominated, on the live table inter was 7 points ahead of Milan with a game in hand. 3 minutes later inter was only 1 point ahead of Milan with a game in hand. Inter collapsed after that game and the rest is history.
Grazie Giroud.
Both goals he created by himself. On the 1st he stole the ball from Alexis Sanches and then ran back to redirect an awful Brahim Diaz shot and on the 2nd he faked De Vrij out of his boots.
I think we won it because we had more points than inter, could be wrong though.
And for those who think we were lucky, reminder that we had 4 points against inter, that we would have won it even at parity of points, and that the refeering cost us a lot of points against Napoli, Udinese and Spezia.
Yes, we were not favourites, not the most talented or deepest bench, but we won it. All the rest doesn’t matter.
Agreed except if we did win it then perhaps we were “the most talented AND deepest bunch”?
I mean what measure do people use for that?
The league table?
Their feelings?
Also if you look over our form for the past say 3 years we’re basically level with Inter except we have a Scudetto.
How much luck do you need for that?
What I (and I assume most people) mean by most talented squad or whatever, is how good you rate each player individually. Now in order to win titles, that is not the only metric you need, and sometimes, not even the most important metric (otherwise psg will be european champion at least once these past years).
Also we could argue that in the season that saw inter champion, we were “unlucky” to have so many injuries that cost us in the long run.
Tbh I don’t even know how the heck we did it. But we did it anyhow and that’s all that matters. It was the most gratifying feeling after a decade of the doldrums
When Im saying “3 points, that all that matters” it’s important as these things get you over the line
I know how we did it.
We produced league winning form ever since the end of the Covid lockdown based off finally having a settled squad and a good coach and some genuine winners amongst the group.
Oh and then we undid a lot of that this summer but let’s see how we go…..
It did not come out of the blue, we were 2nd the season before (with the injuries clearly affecting us).
And in 21/22, we outplayed most of our opposition, won most of our big games, we were leaders for a good chunk of the compaign, so like do we have to demolish everyone like bayern for it not to count as lucky ?
True. We did have crazy form after the lockdown
But Inter’s form that season was great too.
We also had things go our way at the final stretch that are simply football gods taking over lol 😆 (Tonali goal vs Lazio and Inter goalie slipping up)
For both you and Maldini Heir
Milan won that scudetto because they played like championsa and they belived they could win
dont care what rummenigger thinks
He can add Ranieri’s Leicester City on the top of the list, if he may. No one on this earth will bet on them to be crowned as EPL Champions. I’d say it was the beauty of football.
Most of the time you don’t know. If you know, you probably won’t win.
ok… well i just hope we get our second star this season, so that we can give him more things to think about.
