Inter Players Share Their Thoughts on the Serie A and Coppa Italia Double
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
At 37 years old, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has not yet decided on his future. “I haven’t decided what I’ll do next year yet,” the midfielder told DAZN after the match. “I will speak with the club in the coming days and make my decision. I will decide whether to continue or retire.”
Matteo Darmian
The veteran full-back, whose contract expires at the end of June, is set to depart the club. “It’s definitely been exciting, six fantastic years. Now we’ll enjoy the party that awaits us,” he stated. “It’s been a difficult season, and we’re taking home two trophies. The fans have been fantastic, making me feel at home since day one.”
Josep Martinez
Josep Martinez is eager to become Inter’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper next season, especially with Yann Sommer’s potential departure. “It’s been a somewhat challenging season for me, but I’m happy we’ve managed to win two trophies. It’s an unforgettable feeling,” he commented. “I was fortunate to have a greater role in the Coppa Italia, and the coach gave me the confidence I needed. Everyone has helped me, and ultimately, we’ve won two trophies.” When asked about his desire to be the team’s number one next term, he replied, “Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
Marcus Thuram
Despite his father Lilian Thuram’s strong ties to Juventus, Marcus emphasized his father’s pride. “He’s a ‘Juventino,’ but he’s my dad, and he’s very happy for me,” Marcus shared. “I was speaking with my dad recently, and he told me to remember those who have always supported me. When I think of that, I think of Marco (Materazzi), because he always believed in me and sent me messages when I wasn’t performing well. A player like him having faith in me is incredibly important.”
Regarding when Inter’s season truly turned around, Thuram noted, “It’s true that we spoke to each other after the international break and decided to push forward and do everything we could to win the Scudetto.”
When questioned about whether he and Lautaro Martinez could have made it into Inter’s 2010 treble-winning side, he mused, “Maybe we might have played in the cup games. Comparing eras is always difficult. Inter has always had great players, and I’m proud to be part of its history.”
Piotr Zielinski
The Poland international has now won two league titles with different clubs. “I’m happy that, without injuries and with the trust of the coach and his staff, I’ve been able to show my worth. I’m happy there’s something to celebrate now,” he said. “These are two special titles. I hope to win it again and compete on all fronts next year.”
Hakan Calhanoglu
The Turkish international expressed his confusion regarding the strong transfer rumors surrounding him last summer. “Everyone was talking about me in the summer; I had nothing to do with it and didn’t know why my name was being mentioned everywhere,” he stated. “As I said when I returned, I’m happy at Inter and in Italy, my family is doing well, and I never doubted that we would win this year. I’m even happier with the double.”
“I think people can see that I’m doing well. I always prefer to do my talking on the pitch; I don’t like to speak too much off it, even if they’re always talking about me from the outside. There’s always chaos,” he added. “When I see my name out there, I wonder why, given that I don’t like to talk. I had a few injuries, but I always responded whenever I was on the pitch. I like being in Italy, I have a contract here, and we’ll see what happens.”

Inter Players React to 2025-26 Serie A and Coppa Italia Double
Inter Milan’s squad is celebrating a historic achievement, having lifted the Serie A trophy in front of a packed San Siro and preparing to parade their two pieces of silverware through the city of Milan, having secured both the Scudetto and Coppa Italia titles in recent weeks. Here’s what the jubilant Nerazzurri players had to say.
Inter played their final home game of the season on Sunday afternoon, ending in a 1-1 draw against already-relegated Hellas Verona in a match with no bearing on the standings.
This result came just days after a 2-0 victory over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, which clinched the Coppa Italia title and completed the domestic double. Inter had not won both domestic trophies in the same season since Jose Mourinho’s treble-winning campaign in 2010.
Today marks their celebration. The trophy presentation has concluded, and the players are now embarking on an open-top bus parade around the city of Milan. Here are the latest reactions from the Inter squad on the day they are celebrating their double triumph.

At 37 years old, the Armenian midfielder has not yet decided if he will continue playing or retire. “I haven’t decided what I’ll do next year yet,” Mkhitaryan told DAZN after full-time on Sunday. “I will talk to the club over the next few days and make my assessments. I will decide whether to continue or retire.”
Matteo Darmian
The veteran full-back is out of contract at the end of June and will be leaving the club. “It’s definitely been exciting, six fantastic years.

The Spaniard has made it clear that he hopes to be Inter’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper next season, especially with Yann Sommer’s departure. “It’s been a slightly difficult season for me, but I’m happy that we’ve been able to win two trophies. It’s an unforgettable feeling,” he stated. “I was lucky to have a bigger role in the Coppa Italia, and the coach gave me the confidence I needed. Everyone’s helped me, and in the end, we’ve won two trophies.” When asked if he wants to be Inter’s number one next term, he replied, “Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.”
Marcus Thuram
While his father Lilian Thuram has strong connections to Juventus, Marcus says his dad will still be proud of him. “He’s a ‘Juventino,’ but he’s my dad, and he’s very happy for me,” Thuram commented. “I was talking to my dad recently, and he told me to remember those who have always stuck by me. When I think about that, I think about Marco (Materazzi), because he always trusted me and sent me messages when I wasn’t doing so well. A player like him with faith in me is really important.”
When asked where Inter’s season really started to turn around, he said, “It’s true that we spoke to each other after the international break and decided to move forward and do everything we can to win the Scudetto.”
On whether he and Lautaro Martinez could have succeeded in Inter’s treble-winning side of 2010, Thuram responded, “Maybe we might have played in the cup games. Comparing eras is always difficult. Inter has always had great players, and I’m proud to be part of its history.”
Piotr Zielinski
The Poland international has now won two Scudetti with two different clubs. “I’m happy that, without injuries and with the trust of the coach and his staff, I’ve been able to show my worth. I’m happy there’s something to celebrate now,” he said. “These are two special titles. I hope to win it again and fight on all fronts next year.”
Hakan Calhanoglu
The Turkiye international stated that he doesn’t understand why he was so strongly linked with a move away from the club last summer. “Everyone was talking about me over the summer; I had nothing to do with it, and I didn’t know why my name was being thrown about everywhere,” he explained. “As I said when I came back, I’m happy at Inter and in Italy, my family is doing well, and I never had any doubts about us winning this year. I’m even happier with the double.”
“I think people can see that I’m doing fine. I always like to do my talking on the pitch; I don’t like to talk too much away from it, even if they’re always talking about me from the outside. There’s always chaos,” he continued. “When I see my name out there, I wonder why, given that I don’t like to talk. I had a few injuries, but I always responded whenever I was on the pitch. I like being in Italy, I have a contract here, and we’ll see what happens.”
