Former Inter President Massimo Moratti was not impressed with the 1-0 Champions League win over Liverpool. ‘We threw that opportunity away and lacked courage.’
The result of the second leg was 1-0 at Anfield thanks to a Lautaro Martinez strike, but they still went out 2-1 on aggregate at the Round of 16.
Simone Inzaghi’s men earned applause for their performance and victory, but Moratti couldn’t help but feel they deserved more.
“We threw that opportunity away, because with a bit more courage at the end perhaps we could’ve done something more,” Moratti told reporters at a charity event.
Inzaghi was criticised for his substitutions after Alexis Sanchez was sent off and his team reduced to 10 men, introducing only Joaquin Correa for Lautaro Martinez.
Edin Dzeko, Robin Gosens and Felipe Caicedo all remained on the bench throughout at Anfield.
