Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh MKHITARYAN denied that his team had launched too much after defeating Bayern Munich In the first stage of their quarter -final of the Champions League.
Bayern Harry Kane Accused Inter Players of having celebrated “as they won the draw” after the surprise victory of Nerazzurri over Bayern – the feelings taken up by his coach Vincent Kompany.
“Everyone is free to say what they want,” said Mkhitaryan on Tuesday before the Return to San Siro match on Wednesday. “We know what we did, we know that we were just happy after the first game – it was not a massive celebration.
“We want to stay focused on our match, on our game, and nothing else. Because there are a lot of people who talk about the field, outside the club, and we try not to hear or listen to all this.”
Inter goes to the match with an advance of 2-1 after an exciting match Germany. Substitute Thomas Müller seemed to have saved a 1-1 draw for Bayern when he canceled the opening of Lautaro Martínez in five minutes of time, but Davide Frattesi marked the winner three minutes later. It was the first home loss of the German team in the competition almost four years against the day.
Frattesi was reserved for tearing off his jersey to celebrate and Bayern believes that the overexube continued after the final whistle.
“I know they celebrated as if they had won the draw at the end, but that’s it to play. It’s a goal and 90 minutes to play,” said Bayern Kane striker after the first leg.
THE England The captain was more measured on Tuesday, saying that emotions were high.
“Maybe it was right in the moment at the time and emotions after the match, maybe it was a bit like a little,” he said when he asked why he thought that Inter celebrations stood out. “I am sure that if we win tomorrow and pass, there would be a celebration for us. It’s football, that’s what it’s. “
Mkhitaryan and Inter Simone Inzaghi coach agreed with the last part of this declaration, both reiterating several times that they were only at half-time in the quarter-finals on two legs.
Inzaghi also pointed out that Bayern is a Bogey team for the Nerazzurri at home – with the Bundesliga The giants who won the four times they played at San Siro and Inter scoring a single goal on these games.
“We must not look at the previous ones, which was obviously not always positive in the history of Inter against Bayern here in San Siro,” said Inzaghi. “But the boys are mature, they know that we play against a very big opponent.
“We respect them, as we should, but with the right attitude. I think we can have an excellent game. ”
Inter beaten Bayern in the 2010 final to win a triple from the Champions League, Serie A And the Italian cup – something that the side of Inzaghi is looking to repeat this year.
