I'd say Inter really want to do well in Europe. They've ended their wait for a domestic league title and seeing as their walking Serie A this season I'd say they feel they can focus most of their attention on Europe now. Also, if media reports are correct (:eek:) then Mancini could lose his job to Mourinho if he doesn't do well in the Champions League. I can't really comment on the other clubs though, but I'd say that if Juventus get into the Champions League next season they'll want to have a good run in it to boost their revenue.

Simply put, the reason Serie A and La Liga ARE better than the premiership is this, The top 2 or 3 in them all are pretty even...Man u, arsenal, chelsea, Inter, Milan, Juve, Real, Barca, Seville, but after that....Liverpool being liverpool aside, the also rans, the nearly there but not quites....The premiership is well behind. Everton Spurs and Villa are not the same level as Valencia, Athletico, Roma, Lazio etc...
Look before anyone goes picking holes in that Milan are behind roma bla bla bla....i am not saying i have exact figures, but lets just say Everton or Spurs were to meet Roma/Atheltico/Lazio/Valencia in Europe......would you back the English side.....I wouldnt. Those leagues have far greater strength in depth

The money men at Inter and Juventus would wnat them to do well, that's beyond dispute, but the fans seem to put far greater emphasis on domestic achievements rather than European
