There are matches that tell much more than the result, and Inter-Bayern Munich is one of them. After the 2-1 win in the first leg in Germany, the Nerazzurri needed only not to lose at the San Siro to continue their path in the Champions League. But no one was satisfied. The 2-2 draw came at the end of a real, vibrant match full of twists and turns.
Harry Kane opens the scoring, deluding the Bavarians. The Inter response is all in the competitive rage of Lautaro Martinez, who finds the equalizer with a paw of his own. Then, even, Benjamin Pavard puts Inter ahead with a header off a corner kick. Bayern doesn’t go for it and finds the final equalizer with Eric Dier, but by then it’s too late. Inzaghi’s team flies to the semifinals, to the applause of a delirious Meazza.
It wasn’t a cakewalk, it couldn’t be. But this Inter has learned to hold its own on big European nights. A strong signal in a European journey that continues to write heavy pages.
Giovani, italiani e affamati: il piano di Marotta
While fans are celebrating, there are already those at the club who are looking ahead. Beppe Marotta, key man in the Nerazzurri project, has very clear ideas: “We have a defined plan, regardless of how the season will end,” he told Sky Sport microphones. And the plan speaks clearly: to invest in young and Italian profiles, to be flanked by the more experienced elements of the group.
A mix of experience and freshness, of continuity and perspective. It is not just an economic question, it is a question of identity. Inter wants to be a protagonist today, but also tomorrow. And to do that, it needs players who have hunger and a sense of belonging. It is in this direction that the management is moving, with careful and targeted scouting.
It is not just about names, but about characteristics. Players who can integrate into an already broken context, but bring something extra, especially in terms of dynamism and depth of the squad. Marotta knows that every season is also made up of difficult moments, and to overcome them you need a solid group, with spare parts that are up to the task.
Acerbi e De Vrij: la decisione definitiva di Marotta
Meanwhile, while laying the foundations for the future, the pillars of the present are also being consolidated. According to reports from Sky Sport, the club is set to confirm Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij for next season as well. Two defenders who, despite their age, have guaranteed reliability and performance throughout the year.

Acerbi has been able to take a starting place thanks to his tactical intelligence and charisma on the field. De Vrij, after an up-and-down period, has returned to excellent levels, regaining confidence and leadership. An extension is looming for both, testifying to the club’s desire not to lose its mainstays.
In a fast-paced and ever-changing soccer, having fixed points is not a given. Inter wants to build, but without forgetting what has worked. And keeping in men like Acerbi and De Vrij also means this: believing in a group that has shown it can compete at high levels.
Now it’s up to the semifinals, but always looking one step ahead. Inter is there, on and off the field.
