“First of all, I want to congratulate you all for this great achievement!” the Suning Group supremo told the club’s official website.
“After six seasons, Inter has finally returned to the Champions League, the most prestigious competition in European football!
“We have waited a long time for this day to come and this result is the fruit of your constant work. Congratulations!
“Looking back over this season, we had a good start and then we experienced a difficult and less calm period that we were able to overcome thanks to your dedication and effort.
“With the desire to compete and win, we have reached our objective. This return to the Champions League is the first step, the start of a long road to tread together with the passion and confidence that the whole Nerazzurri family has shown.
“Even though the Serie A competition has just finished, our work off the pitch continues, we are all already preparing for the next season.
“Many of our players will also be playing in the World Cup to honour their countries and I hope that they play with the same spirit that has always distinguished us: ‘Brothers of the World’. Forza Inter!”
