Romelu's post-match thoughts after bagging the winner


Romelu Lukaku bagged the winning goal against Porto in tonight's Champions League round of 16 first leg at San Siro. This is what he had to say after the game:

“We’re delighted with this victory. It was so important to win tonight. Although we wanted to score a second, the main thing was to come away with a victory. I’ve had a difficult few months due to injury, but I’m happy to be available so I can help the team achieve our objectives. I’m not individualistic; I’m focused on doing what is best for Inter, and I’m happy that I’ve helped the team and we’ve won. Barella’s assist? I’ve always said that he’s the first player I’d pick to go to battle with. I’m happy that he provided the assist, and we need to carry on in this manner. We played as a team and are happy with the result because winning a match like this isn’t easy. We had a great mentality and will be involved in an equally difficult game in the return fixture. ”
