Simone Inzaghi believes Inter ‘could’ve won’ their 0-0 draw away to Shakhtar Donetsk, but failed to make the most of their chances.
The Nerazzurri picked up their first point and clean sheet of the Champions League so far, but again failed to find the net in a 0-0 draw away to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Nicolò Barella hit the bar, while only two late saves denied Joaquin Correa and Stefan de Vrij.

At the same time, it’s also fair to say Roberto De Zerbi’s Shakhtar dominated possession, poured forward throughout the second half and Milan Skriniar made a miraculous block on Pedrinho from a yard.
“We faced a team in good shape that had a lot of the ball, while we must accept the blame for not making the most from our chances,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia.
“We could’ve finished better, we had five really good scoring opportunities despite it not being our sharpest performance. We could’ve won it.
“Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko really sacrificed themselves for the team. Correa and Alexis Sanchez were coming off injuries, we’ve got a lot of fixtures and we knew this would be a dangerous game.”
It is the first point of the group for both Inter and Shakhtar Donetsk, neither of them able to score a goal yet.
“Shakhtar are an unpredictable team, so considering how much we created, we should’ve scored. We hit the crossbar and their goalkeeper made some great saves. We’ll see what happens at San Siro.”
