COLOGNE – Inter Milan manager, Antonio Conte said his “must show we want the cup more than them” in their Europa League final with Sevilla on Friday, in an interview with Sky.

 Conte, 51, is looking to pick up his first-ever trophy in European football with an already impressive pedigree as a manager, winning both Serie A with Juventus and the Premier League with Chelsea. Inter’s first season under Conte has been a success that will be truly memorable if they win on Friday night, as in a press conference on Thursday he reflected “There’s only way to enter the history of a club, win.”

 Sevilla will be stiff opposition however, having played five Europa League finals and returned back to Spain with the trophy on every occasion. Inter’s goalkeeper, the Slovenian Samir Handanovic, said the final should be a “starting point” and that “these matches should become a habit for Inter like they were ten or fifteen years ago.” Inter have not won a trophy for nine years, and have only competed in one European final, the Champions League they won in 2010, since they won the Europa League in 1998, then called the Uefa Cup.

 Inter head into the game on the back of a 5-0 drubbing of Shakhtar Donetsk in which both their star strikers scored two goals. Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian signed for 74 million pounds last summer from Manchester United, has scored in his last ten consecutive games in the competition. He stands on 33 goals for the season and will equal Ronaldo’s record of 34 goals in a single season for the club if he scores on Friday.
