Lautaro: We Deserved a Better Result, But the Champions League Comes Down to Details

On September 9 Beijing time, in the first round of the Champions League league phase, Inter Milan lost 1-2 away to Real Madrid. After the match, Lautaro gave an interview to Inter TV.

"Of course we are very disappointed. We played a great match and showed real character and tremendous courage. We had possession and we deserved a better result, but as I always say, this competition often comes down to details. Two mistakes caused us to lose the match," Lautaro said.

Like against Napoli, how important is it to keep the match in suspense until the final moment?

"It is important from start to finish. From the opening, we showed our true strength and carried out all the tactics prepared before the match. Although we ultimately came away empty-handed, we know our level, our ability, and the team's position. I always emphasize that we need to work hard to reduce mistakes; that is the nature of this competition."

Will this result provide motivation for the upcoming match against Udinese?

"Of course. Every match is different, but for us, every match is crucial. Now we need to recover physically and prepare for next Monday's match. Our opponents are a team with strong physicality and have caused us problems in recent years. It will be vital to recover well and prepare for this match in the best possible condition."
