Quotes

"Tonight we played the first 35 minutes very intensely, then in the last 10, we conceded a couple of counterattacks. In the locker room, we talked about needing to manage the ball better and occupy spaces more effectively.
"Lecce played well, but they faced a focused and hungry Inter that wanted the win."
