Inter Milan Veteran Argues Mood Was Good Before Champions League Final Fiasco: “Too Fired Up”

Inter Milan veteran, Francesco Acerbi, thought about the mood of the team before the Champions League last season (UCL) against Paris Saint-Germain.

Addressing Sky Sport via FCinternews, the 37 -year -old man admitted that the players had entered the Munich final in a good mood.

Despite the dispute of two finals in three years, the Inter has still awaited his first title of the Champions League since 2010.

Indeed, PSG demolished the 5-0 Nerazzurri in the centerpiece of last season.

In addition, it was the last match in charge for former manager Simone Inzaghi, who left the club in June.

Francesco Acerbi began as the leader in Inter Defense in this match.

However, the PSG fast front line was too hot to manage for the San Siro Club.

In one of the most unilateral finals of recent memory, the Parisians beat Inter to claim his very first trophy in the Champions League.

Although there were speculations that the Inter was exhausted before the match, Acerbi suggests the opposite.

Instead, he insisted that he and his club comrades were mentally and physically ready.

“After the match, we looked at each other,” said Acerbi. “We were not even angry because it was such a game that ended almost as soon as it started it was difficult to treat even.

“I saw mental fatigue,” added Acerbi. “We did Bayern, Barcelona, ​​we had to win against Lazio and Drew, we were in the Como with the League at stake, while waiting for Napoli …

“We had already wasted a lot of energy to this point,” he continued. “Then, a week later, we played PSG and we really built for this match.

“After defeating Bayern and Barcelona, ​​you think:” Here we can win “.

“Many people said we were favorites, there was this pressure, fatigue … and we arrived a little drained.

“Then we faced an so prepared and strong PSG that they played the perfect game, and we couldn’t do anything.

“You know, you are 2-0 down, maybe if you are marking 2-1 in the second period … But we were too much …

“We are not 100% ourselves, and if you are not 100% against this PSG, you risk losing, and we have lost, and rightly so.”

However, he refuses to let this disappointment derail his mind.

“Enough of the shock of the final, because we are strong and experienced.

“This defeat hurts,” he added. “But we had months to think about it.
