After the first goal, where we had to do better as a team, we created many potential chances but we missed several last passes unfortunately,” Inzaghi told Sky (quoted from bavarianfootballworks.com). “We brought more pressure in the second half and had opportunities to reopen it. It is clear that you have to play the perfect match against such opponents, we were facing a team of the highest quality, among the best three in Europe in my opinion.”
The Inter manager highlighted that the team should prepare and practice more for this caliber opponent like Bayern Munich (one of the top football clubs in all Europe).
