Inter were stunned 2-0 at home by Hapoel Be’er Sheva in their Europa League opener a fortnight ago, and standing in their way of a first victory are Sparta, who eliminated Lazio from the last-16 stage last season.

“We often go into games at a disadvantage and the problem isn’t only technical, but also in the head. We must enter the pitch with a different attitude,” the goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’re growing and we can only get better. Each game has its own importance, against Sparta Prague it won’t be easy and we mustn’t repeat the mistakes of Lazio, who were eliminated by the Czechs last season.”
