“Big teams must have the best players,” Figo, who won four Scudetti with the Nerazzurri, told Sky Sport Italia.

“With them, they have a better chance to reach their objectives. However, there must be a balance between sporting and economic levels.

“Inter started this season very well but encountered a harder time in December and January, which took them out of the Scudetto running.

“I hope they can qualify for the Champions League, it would be an important accomplishment for Inter because it would mean a lot financially.

“Inter are a big team. The transition they made after Moratti’s departure was negative in terms of the results.

“They walked through the desert a bit, but I hope they recover and go back to winning like the old days.”
