Now Rafa Benitez is the man at the helm and Eto’o is pleased with the start to the campaign, claiming he is in good personal shape. “It is not bad, we were down 2-1 away from home, it is very difficult away from home to come back, and we showed again we are a strong team,” he told skysports.com.

Inter up for the Treble

Inter Milan kept their treble hopes alive with a 1-0 victory away to Fiorentina in the Italian Cup semi-final, second leg on Tuesday to reach May’s final 2-0 on aggregate.

Samuel Eto’o scored the only goal of the game 12 minutes into the second half to ensure Inter reached their fifth Italian Cup final in six years.

If AS Roma manage to hold onto their 2-0 first-leg lead over Udinese next week, it will also be the fifth final between the two sides in those last six years.

Inter assistant coach Daniele Bernazzani told Rai TV he was satisfied.

“We played the game we needed to, we didn’t take many risks, we defended in the first half and Eto’o’s goal finished the tie,” he said.

“In these months we’re playing for everything but fortunately that means we’re improving.

“I’d give anything to be in this situation.”
