Inter are not shying away from aiming for a domestic double this season, midfielder Piotr Zielinski declared ahead of the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final tie versus Como.

The Nerazzurri travel to the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia to face Cesc Fabregas' men on Tuesday, before hosting the return fixture at San Siro in April.

The winners of the tie will take on either Atalanta or Lazio in the final, which is due to take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, on May 13.

Inter are 10 points clear of AC Milan at the top of Serie A, and they will have a chance to all but end their rivals' Scudetto hopes when they face off in the Derby della Madonnina this weekend.

Though Cristian Chivu's side had plenty of regrets after exiting the Champions League at the hands of Bodo/Glimt, Zielinski still believes they can make 2025-26 a roaring success. 

"Winning the double would be fantastic, and we'll do anything to win these important trophies," Zielinski told Sport Mediaset. "It's all still in our hands."

Asked about the threat of Como, who are currently fifth in Serie A, the midfielder said: "They have a lot of quality, so we’ll have to pay close attention.

"I was struck by their organisation. They play fantastic football with outstanding quality and have a great coach in Fabregas. Nico Paz is a star; he has great numbers, and we'll have to watch him."

Como eliminated Napoli in the last round of the Coppa Italia, and Fabregas' side have also beaten Juventus and drawn with Atalanta and Milan in Serie A this term. 

The former Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona midfielder is hoping for an electric atmosphere, saying Como's fans should hope to replicate the feeling of Boca Juniors' famous Bombonera ground.

"An important moment in our season is coming. We have to treat this match with the importance it deserves," Fabregas told Sky Sport Italia. "I hope our stadium can be like a little Bombonera! We will see.

"We must always think game by game because the season is long, we will see how many games we can win from here to the end. 

"Inter have been the strongest team in Serie A for many years now, they have great players. We will try to play a great game, knowing their strengths and their small weaknesses, we will try to hurt them."
