GRANDMA INTER

THE OLDEST IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

At almost 32 years old: its average age is the highest among the 16 teams in the knockout round.

Milan - One thing is certain: Inter are the most outdated team out of the last 16 teams that took the field in Champions League knockout round.  The oldest in other words.  A statistical analysis that certifies what you could already envisioned: with an average of 31 years and 11 months old, the team coached by Claudio Ranieri represents the Old Style in this version of the Champions League.  A response that answers many questions.

Starting eleven These statistics have taken into account the average age for the starting eleven in the first game in the knockout stage: 38 years for Javier Zanetti who however was one of the better players in the game, 33 years for Stankovic, Cambiasso at 31, 32 for Julio Cesar, 33 for Lucio and Walter Samuel.  Translation: beyond the indisputable values of those who were champions of everything and on the top of the world, there is no doubt that Massimo Moratti and his staff must give another touch of freshness to a team that right now always seems to suffer physically more than then stamp on their identity.

Renew in June It's true that the renewing process has already gone underway for two years with the signings of Coutinho, Ranocchia, Castaignos, Juan Jesus, Alvarez, Nagatomo and Pazzini who are 25 and 27 respective but it is equally true that even more must be done, much much more: and for this changes are going to be made at the end of the season because guys like Lucas Moura, Yann M'Vila and others are the protagonists in the viewfinder of a rebirth that the fans can no longer wait.
