Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi admits he was left with major regrets after their Champions League elimination at Liverpool.
The 1-0 win for Inter saw them eliminated 2-1 on aggregate, with Lautaro Martinez scoring the winner, but Alexis Sanchez being sent off a minute later.
“There are certainly great regrets, as we wanted to reach this Round of 16 with all our strength, we were up against Liverpool, who along with Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the best team in Europe right now, and we fought them on an even keel,” Inzaghi told Sky Italia.
“We are probably paying the price for the final 15 minutes of the first leg, because I think we had two very good games against an excellent opponent.”
He continued: “I think the first 75 minutes saw us deserve far more, then we conceded on a corner, which wasn’t even a good one, and the second goal really knocked us down.
“We came to Anfield to give our best and we emerge fortified from this meeting with a top team. During our best period of the game and the worst for them, Alexis Sanchez was sent off, that was bad timing.
“The regret is Sanchez, because Liverpool really were shaken by Lautaro’s goal and I wanted to see what happened after that.”
