The Nerazzurri coach's comments after the defeat to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16


It was a disappointing evening for Inter, who were eliminated at the last-16 stage of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros won 3-2 on penalties in a hard-fought, tense game that went right to the wire. After 120 minutes of play, the side from Madrid led 2-1 . At the end of the game, Simone Inzaghi spoke:

“There is real disappointment for everyone. However, I told the boys to be proud of this campaign. We didn't lose, but unfortunately in the key moments of the game tonight we should have done better. In extra time we were in control of the game, but made a lot of mistakes. In these games you pay the price. In the first leg, we certainly could have had a bigger lead. This evening, as soon as we took the lead we needed to keep hold of it, but instead they scored immediately and got back into the game. The team is not used to losing; it is a shame because we had qualification to the quarter-finals in our hands. We are disappointed, but I am proud to coach this group; they have given me some real satisfaction. Now, we have to dust ourselves down and finish off well our league campaign because we have a big aim to attain.”

Simone Inzaghi
