— Feb 22nd 2023The Coach's thoughts after the Nerazzurri's 1-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League round of 16 first leg
The Champions League anthem at San Siro, a wonderful atmosphere and a determined and victorious Inter side: this is what Coach Simone Inzaghi had to say following tonight's match against Porto:
"We played really well against a strong side on both a physical and technical level; they're an excellent team. We've won the first round but know that another game awaits at their ground. There's a bit of regret due to the chances that we had and didn't take in the first half. After the restart, we got caught on the counter and Skriniar and Onana did really well. The changes we made then helped us and we scored. Although we wanted a bit more, we're happy with the win and the fact that we produced a strong performance. All those who came on did well. I need everyone; playing so often and against teams like this where you expend a lot of energy isn't easy. We were aggressive and determined and used our heads, which is what I asked for. Lukaku? He is a great asset for us and is training really well."
