Sneijder targets Madrid final date

by setantasports.com staff , 16 March 2010

Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder believes that the Italian champions can go all the way to the Champions League final in Madrid, after they knocked Chelsea out to reach the quarter-finals.


Samuel Eto'o scored the only goal in the 79th minute for a 3-1 aggregate win for the Nerazzurri, set up by a sublime Sneijder pass.

Sneijder now believes Inter could go all the way to the final in May, telling Sky Sports: "This is an important result. Chelsea are one of the biggest teams in the world and to beat them, it's a big step. In Italy it's an important time.

"We are still not in the final (but) we can do it when we play like today, of course we can do it."

He continued: "They (Chelsea) want to fight and they did it in the first half but we dominated the whole game and there wasn't any danger for us.

"We knew we had to create chances and they came finally, really we should have scored more - two or three.

"In the first game we were a bit lucky but today we deserved to win."
