Sainsbury and Inter seeking Champions League qualification

The Australian defender has backed the Serie A side to return to the top three, and get back to Europe's biggest competition
Trent Sainsbury insists Champions League qualification is the goal for Inter Milan as the Italian giants look to re-join Europe's elite.
It has been a whirlwind fortnight for Sainsbury and the Australia international defender has arrived in Milan with Inter vying for a spot in the Champions League, having not featured in the competition since 2012.
Inter's struggles were evident under former boss Frank de Boer, but with Stefano Pioli at the helm, the 18-time Italian champions find themselves fifth in Serie A, eight points adrift of third-placed Roma, who occupy the Champions League play-off berth.
Speaking exclusively to Omnisport, Sainsbury said: "A massive club like Inter are always looking for silverware and Champions League spots.
"It's always on the agenda. You can see that with the way the team trains and the staff prepares every session.
"Everything has to be done with perfection here and that's no different with the staff behind the club.
"Everyone wants to achieve greatness."
