- Messi's dad buying property near Giuseppe Meazza: Even though Inter's top brass distance themselves from links with the Barcelona star every now and then, Italian newspapers continue to suggest Leo's father Jorge is looking for a house in the Porta Nuova area of Milan - which is about two steps away from the club's headquarters.
- Argentinians historically playing for Inter: Javier Zanetti, Diego Milito, Esteban Cambiasso, Hernan Crespo. Not enough? Let's continue: Gabriel Batistuta, Mauro Icardi, Walter Samuel last but not least Lautaro Martinez.
