00:00The worst thing of the night for sure is the result, because the performance, the attitude,

00:19the dominance that we showed against one of the best teams in Europe in this stadium.

00:23I haven't seen it, all the games that I watched, but the reality is that the end is the result.

00:29We participated in that because we have many situations that we can resolve much better

00:33in front of goal, and score at least two goals.

00:37And then extremely frustrated as well, because there are two decisions that at the end marks

00:41that result and the course of the game.

00:43How much do you think the one that went against you, or both went against you, the Camarena

00:49hampered easily?

00:50Well I don't understand, it's just a deflection, there is no danger at all, you cannot react

00:55because the ball is very close.

00:57But okay, they decide there is a penalty, but then if that's a penalty, the one on

01:01Mikel Merino when he punches in the head, it has to be 1,000 per cent a penalty.

01:06And these are the margins in this game, and very, very difficult to accept.

01:11Is the concern now that you're not finishing the chances you're creating, or maybe you're

01:15not creating enough chances in front of goal, is that your main concern?

01:19The concern tonight is the result, and obviously that in both boxes at the end we didn't do

01:24what we have to do.

01:26When we didn't, then someone else didn't, and that's it.

01:30But for sure this is the way that I want to see my team, and all the big games that we

01:35have played in Europe, by far this was the best one that we played in the last few years.

01:40When such decisions go against you, such penalty decisions go against you, how painful is that?

01:45Because obviously the ramifications are, as we've seen today, the loss.

01:49There's nothing unfortunately that we can do, and we're not going to be able to change

01:55it.

01:56So, unfortunately we have to accept it and move on.

01:59Does the rule need to change, because a lot of people say it's sort of ruining games?

02:06Can you give us a word on how it happens, and how bad that injury could be?

02:11Yeah, well we were told at the start of the season that was in a penalty, that was clear.

02:16But today was a different story regarding Kai, he's got a big cut, so he needed to

02:22come off because he needed some stitches, but hopefully he's going to be OK for the weekend.

02:28Gentleman here in the green, at the front.

02:32Yes, mate.

02:33Ciao.

02:34Salve, mister.

02:37Sì, dai.

02:38Le volevo chiedere se si aspettava un Inter che è venuto a giocare così bassa, con un

02:47parteggiamento, diciamo, diverso dal solito.

02:50E se questo ha in qualche modo negato altre opzioni offensive alla sua squadra, che ha

02:56prodotto principalmente una serie di cross verso l'area di rigore?

03:01No, perché ellos tienen dos fases, juegan dos partidos muy diferentes a nivel defensivo.

03:05La primera fase, donde se tiran al hombre y son muy agresivos, y una segunda fase, donde

03:09meten un bloque de 5-3-2, que son muy flotantes, que no quieren saltar, que defienden con mucha

03:14gente fuera.

03:15Es una sorpresa la dificultad de atacar ese bloque, pero la cantidad de situaciones que

03:20les hemos generado, yo todos los partidos que he visto, no los he visto sufrir de esta

03:23manera, ni ser los sometidos de esta manera, ni que salgan de atrás siempre jugando en

03:28largo.

03:29Pero ya está.

03:30Al final ellos han llevado el resultado y es lo que queda del partido.

03:33Jordan Sun.

03:34Hi, Mikel.

03:35Can I just check, with Moreno coming off at halftime, was that because of the punch to

03:39the head?

03:40Yeah, yeah.

03:41Was he concussed?

03:42No, no, he was not concussed, but yesterday and today he was already not feeling great,

03:48and after that, when I looked at him, I decided to take him off because I needed him 100%.

03:54Okay, finally, Phil.

03:55Mikel, the ref came over to you in the second half to have a word with you.

03:59Can you just explain what he said to you and how difficult is it going to be to pick the

04:03players up for Sunday's match?

04:04It's a private, interesting conversation.

04:08And how difficult will it be to pick the players up for the match against Chelsea?

04:11If we play the way we play, we have a big chance to win against Chelsea.

04:14That's the way we have to go.

04:16I told them that I'm proud of them.

04:17I haven't seen them play in Europe in the manner that we have today.

04:21And we are very disappointed because we didn't get what we wanted out from the game, that's

04:26for sure.

04:27Thanks.

04:28Good evening, everyone.
