Sneijder: Inter can send Real Madrid a message, but only one player from the Treble team makes the cut
Former Inter midfielder Wesley Sneijder has given his assessment ahead of Inter's meeting with Real Madrid, suggesting the Nerazzurri have what it takes to trouble the Spanish champions. However, he was blunt about the current squad's standing compared to the 2010 Treble winners, naming only one player — widely understood to be Lautaro Martinez — who would break into the legendary José Mourinho-era side. Sneijder's comments frame the upcoming Champions League tie as a measuring stick for the current Inter generation, while acknowledging the gap to the club's historical peak.

By holding the team up against the 2010 Treble winners, he raises the bar while still endorsing Inter's credentials against Real Madrid. The implicit message for supporters is that this is a transitional Inter — capable of competing at the highest level, but not yet the finished article.
