de Vrij: "Shakhtar never threatened, we were only missing a goal"

KYIV – Caught between disappointment at missing the chance to grab victory and an awareness of the team’s solidity, Stefan de Vrij analysed Inter's draw in Kyiv when speaking to Sky Sport: "It's a shame we couldn't win, this was our aim. Although we created multiple chances, we didn't get the result we were hoping for. We’re disappointed, but it was important that we didn’t concede. In August, it was a different match, but the performance was there again tonight: we were only missing a goal. They defended in numbers and didn’t create anything. Now, we must try our best to win, even against a great team like Real Madrid. We’re looking forward and will try to pick up three points in our next match.”
