APPIANO GENTILE – Dejan Stankovic spoke on Inter Channel after the midweek Champions League match against Manchester United.
"It’s a pity, a real pity because their first goal didn’t take our legs away, although it came too soon," said the Serbian midfielder. "Everyone was expecting Inter to do nothing but we still played a good game and created chances, and with a bit of luck we could have equalised.
"It still would have been a difficult match if we had scored in the first half but we didn’t give up when we let in the second goal in the fourth minute of the second half. We had many more chances, especially with the post Adriano hit, and there were still 28 minutes to go and anything could have happened. I’m very disappointed about the elimination but we faced a very strong opponent and we made it hard for them.
"We go out with our heads held high but unfortunately we are out of the Champions League. We have to recover immediately because we have two and a half months of fireworks. We mustn’t throw away the championship. The Champions League is over now, but we can learn from this match, take the positives from it and continue on our path. Now we have the league clash against Fiorentina and there are some decisive matches after the international break."
