Against Atletico, Inzaghi regrets that Inter Milan only won 1-0

Jakarta, Beritastu.com – Simone Inzaghi regrets that Inter Milan only won 1-0 over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 first leg match at the San Siro Stadium, Wednesday (21/2/2024) early morning WIB.

Inter Milan won thanks to a goal from Marko Arnautovic who appeared to replace the injured Marcus Thuram in the first half.

“This is only the first leg, the second leg will be tough, and of course there is regret about this result considering everything we have created. We deserved a bigger score,” said Inzaghi.

However, Inzaghi still praised his team's tireless play in their efforts to break down Atletico Madrid's goal.

“The players performed extraordinary against a team that relies on physicality and technique,” said Inzaghi.

Marko Arnautovic, who scored a goal from the ball bouncing off Lautaro Martinez's attack, thanked his teammates who worked hard to create various opportunities.

Based on match statistics, Inter Milan fired five shots on target, while Atletico were unable to get a shot straight towards Yann Sommer's goal.

“This is of course one of the most important goals in my career,” said the 34-year-old Austrian striker.

The second match of the last 16 of the Champions League was held at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid, Spain, on March 13.
