The 27-year-old is an inspiration for the people of Cameroon and could join the likes of Samuel Eto'o and Geremi Njitap as players from the Central African country to win the competition.

“We really hope to win everything,” Onana said, as quoted by SempreInter. “Because this is what we train towards," he added.

“We know it will certainly be difficult, up against a top-class opponent. But we’ll be there wanting to add to Inter’s already great history. We will give everything on the pitch. Our lives if needed!”

“But we have to be well-prepared, because a massive match awaits us, against a top-quality opponent.

“However, I’m convinced that if we keep working the way we have been, we’ll have our chances,” the Inter keeper said.

“Finals aren’t played, they are won.”

Onana has already won the Coppa Italia this season with Inter Milan.
