Augusto: Inter aiming to compete on all fronts
Inter are aiming to win every competition they remain in after booking their place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals in midweek, so says Carlos Augusto.
Augusto was part of the team that reached the final four by beating Torino on Wednesday, with Cristian Chivu's side winning 2-1 at U-Power Stadium, despite making several changes.
The Nerazzurri have now reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals 19 times across the last 30 seasons, with only Juventus (35) managing to do so on more occasions.
However, Inter's attention now turns back to Serie A, with MAPEI Stadium the venue for their clash with 11th-placed Sassuolo on Sunday.
It is the start of a busy period for the Serie A leaders, who face Juventus in the league next week before the first leg of their Champions League play-off with Bodo/Glimt.
And while Inter finished empty-handed last season, despite going to the latter stages in all competitions in 2025-26, Augusto is confident his team can lift silverware this year.
"We know what happened last season, but we are Inter, we play every tournament aiming to win and will do everything possible to win," Augusto told Sport Mediaset.
One of the standout performers from their Coppa Italia win was Ange-Yoan Bonny, who opened the scoring in the 35th minute against Torino.
His strike meant he has now scored two goals in his last four appearances across all competitions, the same number of goals as in his previous 15 games in Serie A, the Champions League and the Coppa Italia.
Bonny has 12 goal involvements in all competitions this season overall, a total only bettered by Federico Dimarco (14), Marcus Thuram (16) and Lautaro Martinez (23) for Inter.
"Torino are always a complicated opponent, but we are happy that we go through to the next phase," Bonny said of Inter's midweek win.
The striker went off with a cut to his knee, but it does not seem to be anything particularly serious ahead of their trip to Sassuolo.
"In a game like this, you have to do battle, and we're glad we did," Bonny added.
"There are many strikers who are doing well, we are all at the disposal of the team and want to continue like this."
