Former AC Milan head coach Arrigo Sacchi has offered some harsh comments about the meaning of Inter’s imminent Scudetto in a recent interview.
This season, the Scudetto has been destined to head Inter since the early game weeks. Whilst Juventus offered a challenge early on, they have gradually lessened as the season has progressed and now sit behind Milan, who have had an exceptional start to 2024.
The gap between the two Milanese clubs, though, stands at 14 points, and with seven games left to go, it seems the trophy is all but lifted for Inter. Their Scudetto success could hurt the Rossoneri even more, given the possibility of lifting the trophy at San Siro when the two clubs play later this month.
However, the credibility of their successes has been looked into this season, with several reports offering worrying information about their financial situation. As a result, when speaking to Corriere Adriatico, Sacchi gave his opinion on the current state of the Nerazzurri’s finances, and how it affects their Scudetto – his words have been relayed by Football Italia.
“The trend in Italy is becoming that of wanting to get to the goal by being clever, it is not right. We need to get out of this situation. Otherwise, we will always remain in this state of crisis. Winning by incurring debts means cheating. Are Inter cheating? Yes.”
