Rafael Benitez: "Milan" is Inconsistent, "Inter" is Focused, and "Juventus" is Strong Defensively

 Former Napoli and Inter head coach Rafael Benitez shared his thoughts in La Gazzetta dello Sport on the performances of Italy's top clubs in the Champions League, highlighting the inconsistency of Milan, the focus of Inter, and Juventus’ struggles this season.

Benitez pointed out that Milan’s recent results have been mixed, including a 0-0 draw against Juventus. Despite having a strong performance in Madrid, Milan still lacks stability, with the team experiencing ups and downs that affect the overall atmosphere at the club. "Milan" seems to have unresolved issues, but Benitez expressed hope that their Champions League campaign could help them find consistency.

As for Juventus, Benitez acknowledged their solid defensive record, noting that even without key defender Bremer, they remain unbeaten in Serie A. However, he highlighted concerns about their attack, especially with Dusan Vlahovic’s injury. Despite these struggles, Juventus’ upcoming match against Aston Villa could provide a challenge for both teams, as Villa, too, are not in peak form but are determined to fight for a win.

Regarding Inter, Benitez emphasized the importance of focus, especially when facing German teams, which are always tough competitors. He praised Simone Inzaghi’s squad for their key matches ahead, noting that the team has strong attackers in great form, as shown in Serie A. Benitez is confident that Inter will stay focused and maintain their momentum in the coming fixtures.

In conclusion, Benitez gave his insights on Italy’s top clubs, underlining their strengths and challenges as they continue their Champions League journeys.
