STADIO GIUSEPPE MEAZZA (Milan) – After Inter were dumped out of the Champions League, coach Antonio Conte lamented the difficult of the teams in the group.

Inter were paired with Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund, and were beaten by the former on Tuesday meaning they finished Group F in third place.

“I really think that in this group we were in contention until the end,” Conte told the press, “and I think it was the most difficult Champions League group of all.

“I am sorry that we couldn’t move into the knockout stages.

“Of course there is regret and disappointment, as today we had a number of good chances to score. In the end football is simple, you have to put the ball in the net

“Whoever does that wins games. If you don’t, things become complicated.

“If we had capitalised on the chances we had, we would have qualified.

“The players gave everything, and the approach was good. I am sorry for the fans. The atmosphere at the San Siro was unique and beautiful.”

In terms of individual performances. Conte was nothing but supportive of his players.

“I have nothing to criticise my players about,” Conte stated. “Not just tonight, but also since the start of the season.

“Something is always learned from failure and disappointment. We leave stronger after playing well in the group.”
