Inter midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has spoken about the team`s current campaign, emphasizing the importance of every fixture as they push for silverware.
Every match is crucial for us. It doesn`t matter if it`s in the Champions League, the league, or the Coppa Italia; ultimately, they are all significant. This is a challenging season, and we are determined to win something because we possess a truly exceptional team.
Speaking to UEFA ahead of a match against Barcelona, Mkhitaryan acknowledged the difficulty of facing top opponents.
It won`t be easy, as they possess great talent and very experienced players. These kinds of matches are always very interesting, particularly semifinals and finals, which are always enjoyable to both play and watch. We hope to give our best performance in both legs and ultimately reach the final.
The Armenian midfielder also commented on his relationship with coach Simone Inzaghi.
My relationship with him is excellent. I understand the balance between being serious and having a lighter moment; I know the boundary. He`s a very intelligent and friendly coach, and his approach is evident both on and off the pitch.
I`m pleased to have worked with him at this point in my career. Joining Inter at 33 wasn`t straightforward, as performance can typically decline at this age. However, I`m thankful because he allows me to continue playing and showcase my abilities to myself and everyone.
