While preparing for Inter’s Scudetto defence, Simone Inzaghi surely mustn‘t have given Scott McTominay’s Neapolitan arrival too much thought.
Sure, Napoli, title winners two seasons ago, had appointed Antonio Conte, but they hadn’t done all that much in the transfer market to best place the Italian up for guaranteed success. What Inzaghi didn’t realise, however, was that Campania’s San Marzano tomatoes had converted the previously unheralded McTominay into 'McFratm'.
That’s how Inter lost their league title.
However, the Nerazzurri can swiftly atone for domestic heartbreak in Munich, where Paris Saint-Germain await in the Champions League final. Inzaghi’s men are returning to club football’s grandest stage just two years on from their defeat in Istanbul, and this group of players have another shot at etching their names into club folklore.
They’re no strangers to success on the continental stage, but how many times have they won the Champions League?
