Mourinho declares Inter Milan Italy’s best team after Real Madrid win

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho named Inter Milan the best team in Italy after his side’s 2-1 Champions League victory over the Nerazzurri on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Speaking in the post‑match interview, Mourinho said Inter are “by far the best team in Italy,” dominating Serie A with an extraordinary squad and only seeing Roma as a potential challenger. He added that Inter have played two Champions League finals in the last four‑to‑five seasons, possess the ambition to win Europe’s top trophy, and are coached by a manager who creates empathy with the players. Mourinho, who previously led Inter to the 2010 UEFA Champions League title, gave the praise immediate credibility.

For Nigerian football fans, Mourinho’s endorsement highlights Inter’s current strength and may influence viewing choices for Serie A matches, while also signalling the growing competitiveness of Italian football that could affect transfer markets and betting odds.

Consider following Inter’s upcoming Serie A fixtures or Champions League matches, and note that their squad depth makes them a strong pick for fantasy leagues or match predictions.
