JAKARTA - Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez couldn't hide his disappointment over the results the Nerazzurri got when they visited Anfield Stadium, which is Liverpool's headquarters.
The reason is, Inter Milan was eliminated from the competition even though in the second leg of the 2021/2022 Champions League last 16, they won 1-0 over the hosts. As the only goalscorer, Martinez was clearly disappointed and felt this result was a big blow for his team.
Moreover, according to Martinez, Inter have also performed quite well in the first leg which took place at the San Siro Stadium. In addition, they can also overcome a great team like Liverpool.
"It's a big blow for us, because we had two great games, both at the San Siro and here (Anfield) tonight. There is a quality team, but we are able to play our own game,'' Martinez said, quoted from Inter's official website.
Furthermore, Martinez also said Inter had played with high spirits especially when the goal was created in the second half. But unfortunately, the Italian giants had to lose one player.
Martinez also said that on the European scene, matches can be won or lost only with such details.
''Like what happened against Madrid. We need to improve this area,'' said Martinez.
The 24-year-old footballer also added that his team also had to pay dearly for the defeat in the first leg. He said Inter had an extraordinary 70 minutes at the San Siro.
But unable to prevent the two goals scored by the Reds. Therefore, despite winning in this second leg, Inter were still eliminated because they lost 2-1 on aggregate.
“We are working hard every day to take Inter higher and higher. We showed that today, but it wasn't enough. Now we have to think about the league and the Coppa Italia."
