Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi
remained positive after his side lost their opening Champions
League group game against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The Serie A champions were the better team for much of the
match, but had nothing to show for it after Rodrygo's late
winner for the visitors.
"Unfortunately we needed to be more focused. There was a minute
to go and it's disappointing to talk about a defeat after a
performance like that," Inzaghi said.
"We have to look ahead while remembering how we held our own on
the pitch against Real Madrid.
"I asked the players to show character and bravery, and they
gave me a positive response.
"We were up against a goalkeeper who was very difficult to score
past tonight. Courtois turned in a top performance.
"We played very well and if we keep doing that, I'm confident we
can get through to the next round."
Inter's city rivals AC Milan also lost their Champions League
opener on Wednesday, going down 3-2 to Liverpool at Anfield.
