Andrea Ranocchia admits Inter reached the Champions League with an “insane match” as they came back to beat Lazio 3-2.
The Nerazzurri needed to win at the Olimpico and were trailing 2-1 until the 78th minute, but a Mauro Icardi penalty and Matias Vecino header from a corner turned it around.
“I would’ve come on for that late corner even if there hadn’t been a substitution,” smiled the defender on Mediaset Premium.

“I felt good, I felt it was the night. I had to come on and take part. It was an insane match, but we achieved something fundamental.
“Lazio are such a strong side and proved it again this evening, but we believed from start to finish. We wanted this with everything we had.
“Every player was fundamental this season and everyone called into action gave their contribution. First and foremost, before being players, we are men and that is what’s important. This Inter is full of real men.
“Inter have always been crazy, that’s our DNA, and also why we have a rapport with the fans that few other sides in the world can boast. This is the reward for them believing in us, even when we lost our way and seemed to be out of the running.”
