Inter Milan's hopes for a treble remain alive following their Champions League quarter-final victory over Bayern Munich. Benjamin Pavard expressed that the team is not imposing any limits on themselves. In the match at San Siro, Bayern initially took the lead with Harry Kane's goal, but Inter quickly responded with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Pavard. Eric Dier scored for Bayern, making the final moments tense, yet Inter secured a 4-3 aggregate win.

Pavard's goal in the 61st minute was crucial in determining the outcome of the tie. Inter currently leads Serie A and is tied 1-1 with AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final after their first leg. Pavard sees no reason to hold back from pursuing all available titles. "I'm happy for my first goal in the Champions League, but I'm even happier for the team that reached an important milestone like the semi-final," Pavard told Amazon Prime.

Inter has reached the Champions League semi-finals twice in the last three seasons, including this one. This achievement contrasts with their earlier history when they only made it to this stage twice in their first 15 attempts. The club won a treble in 2010 by defeating Bayern to claim the Champions League title, and Simone Inzaghi aims to replicate Jose Mourinho's success.

Pavard highlighted their defensive efforts as key to their victory, stating, "We suffered a lot on the pitch, we knew that one of the keys to the game would be the defence." He added that when defenders contribute offensively, it enhances their performance. "We don't set ourselves limits; since we have come this far, we want to move forward," he said.

Simone Inzaghi expressed his delight after Inter's triumph against a formidable opponent at home. "It's a beautiful evening, lived in our stadium, in front of our fans against a very strong team," he remarked. He praised his players for delivering two outstanding performances and credited them with putting everything into these matches.

The manager acknowledged that this season has been filled with emotions and shared his joy with everyone associated with Inter. "The boys were splendid; it's a victory to share with the whole Inter world," Inzaghi stated. As they progress through this challenging season, they continue to experience numerous thrilling moments.

With their current form and determination, Inter remains focused on achieving further success across all competitions they are involved in this season.
