The Inter Milan midfielder Philippe Coutinho has said that the club are not just looking to get back into the Champions League group stages, but are also looking to win the title further first time since 2009. It has been two seasons since Inter Milan lifted the Italian Serie A title.

Juventus and AC Milan have secured the titles in the last two seasons. Inter Milan missed out on the opportunity to play in the Champions League this season after a disastrous season last time around. This is expected to have a huge impact on the financial situation of the club, but it has not prevented the players from aiming to lift the Italian league title this season.

The 20-year-old midfielder Philippe Coutinho is expected to play an important role for the club this season. Despite being extremely young, he is expected to be the next big thing from the San Siro. After starting the new season with a very impressive victory over Pescara, the midfielder said that the club are not only looking at reaching the top three positions in the table, which would guarantee Champions League football, but also winning the title as well. The 3-0 victory on the opening day of the season has put Inter Milan top of the table.

"Our objective is to win the Scudetto and we want to improve game after game in order to achieve this objective. Nothing has changed for me with Cassano here. He is a champion, like a lot of the players at this club. I'm just looking to do the best I can and to keep improving," said Philippe Coutinho after the 3-0 win over Pescara. Antonio Cassano was the most important player in the match after he gave an assist to Diego Milito, while Philippe Coutinho also scored.
