Inter Milan reunites at “La Pinetina” to refocus ahead of PSG clash

After two days off and the Scudetto disappointment, Inzaghi and his players regroup over lunch, leaving regrets behind to focus on Champions League glory

The “Pinetina Pact.” Not referring to the training center named after Angelo Moratti—Inter Milan’s usual base—but to the nearby La Pinetina Golf Club, which also has a restaurant. That’s where yesterday Inzaghi, his staff, and the entire squad gathered for lunch.

The choice was partly practical—since the actual training ground was occupied by journalists for Media Day ahead of the Champions League final—but also symbolic. After two days of rest granted by the coach from Piacenza, it marked a moment of reconnection.

Following the final (albeit meaningless) league win away to Como, the team had broken camp. 

But over the weekend, amid Napoli’s celebrations, a lingering sense of regret hung over the Inter squad—frustration over the missed chance to retain the Scudetto.

So, yesterday’s gathering wasn’t just lunch: it was the reset moment, the start of the final push toward Champions League redemption.

Togetherness, grit, and regret: Inter Milan's fuel for the Final climb

One of the secrets behind Inzaghi’s Inter Milan is the locker room: its strength, unity, and deep sense of belonging. 

These qualities haven’t only fueled victories and trophies but have helped the squad overcome adversity and bounce back from defeats.

Missing out on the Scudetto may now serve as extra motivation to conquer Europe. That’s the message shared by Lautaro and his teammates: the Champions League is the best way to move on—and make history.

The Nerazzurri are ready to give everything and more for this final goal. Having already beaten heavyweights like Bayern Munich and Barcelona, only Paris Saint-Germain now stands in their way.

A win can’t be guaranteed—but giving their all certainly can. And the players believe they have the tools and mindset to pull off something historic.

The defeat in Istanbul taught them a lesson: the gap with Manchester City was smaller than expected, and Inter Milan arguably deserved more. 

The PSG challenge won’t be easy, but based on what the players are saying, they’re fully focused and fired up for the big finale.

It’s a match that could reshape the entire narrative of Inter Milan’s season.
