In the current renaissance for Italian club soccer, Inter Milan’s impressive performance in a losing cause at the Champions League final stood out.
Inter gave Manchester City as many if not more problems than either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich did in the previous two rounds before falling to an unlucky 1-0 loss on Saturday in Istanbul.
Inzaghi's team also looked capable of chasing down Napoli, the most compelling and admired Serie A champion of recent years, a period that includes Inter’s own 2020-21 title that was its first for 11 years. Inter had no European soccer in 2017-18 and Italian clubs were hit much harder by lost revenue during the pandemic than the Premier League with its billions in international broadcast rights.
It was maybe notable after Saturday’s game that Inter chairman Steven Zhang, the 31-year-old scion of the family that owns the Suning corporation in China, talked of trying to build a stronger squad. It is a tough goal to promise. The difference between City’s and Inter’s global sponsorship revenue last year was already 371 million euros compared to 90 million euros , according to UEFA research published in February.
