Crespo: Inter is a warship, unsinkable in Italy

Former Milan, Inter and Lazio striker Hernan Crespo said he believes Inter is the best-equipped team to win the 2026-27 Serie A title again. Crespo spoke at length about his former clubs in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Crespo said Inter's mental strength and competitive structure allow them to come back from difficult matches. The former player stressed that Inter's technical quality is superior to their rivals, and added that the club should be careful not to spend too much energy in the Champions League. In his view, Inter look almost unsinkable in Italy and in matches outside Europe.

Crespo also made notable comments about Milan. He argued that the Rossoneri have made significant progress since Amorim took over in the summer, while admitting he did not expect this to happen so quickly. Crespo said Milan show a compact side in both defence and attack, and added that the fans have learned to stand by the team in difficult moments.

Inter and Milan are currently separated by four points, with both sides unbeaten after eight Serie A matches. According to Crespo, Milan could catch up with Inter in the future. How the two teams perform against each other ahead of this weekend's Derby della Madonnina is a matter of interest.
