Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while preparing for the 2026/27 season, has given a candid interview to the Italian press. The footballer emphasized that the team is working intensively despite the challenges posed by travel and changing time zones. Speaking about their ambitions, Mkhitaryan noted that the club is ready to fight for all possible titles, including the Italian Super Cup and the Champions League. He stressed that an athlete's life includes both victories and defeats, but the key is to be ready for any challenge.
In response to a question about complete sporting happiness, Mkhitaryan singled out one goal. He admitted that his greatest unfulfilled dream is to win the Champions League trophy. Despite his rich career, he noted that he has been very close to that success twice and hopes that sooner or later he will achieve it. It is worth recalling that last season, Mkhitaryan became the Italian champion and won the domestic cup with Inter.
Mkhitaryan’s candor demonstrates that even for top-tier professionals, certain benchmarks remain elusive, compelling them to continue the fight. The Champions League is a level where every detail matters, and coming close to the final twice already highlights his high class.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how Inter balances their domestic league campaign with their European ambitions. Unlike national championships, the Champions League is more unpredictable, and the team’s success will largely depend on the form of key players and tactical flexibility.
