Despite suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Final, Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez remains proud of his team`s achievements this season.
Speaking to Inter`s official website following the match in Munich, Martinez acknowledged the disappointing result but emphasized the positives from their campaign:
“We weren`t able to execute our game plan tonight. PSG delivered an exceptional performance and deserved the victory. While I`m disappointed with the outcome, I`m incredibly proud of our team, coach, and the entire club. We had an outstanding season, even though we didn`t secure any trophies. There`s a sense of disappointment, but also a determination to come back stronger. We gave everything we had throughout the season.”
The final in Munich saw PSG dominate the game, setting a new record for the largest goal margin in a single-game European final.
Martinez`s teammates also shared their thoughts on the match. Nicolò Barella suggested that PSG showed more desire on the night, while Francesco Acerbi noted that the French side`s pace was “twice as fast” as Inter`s.
Despite the setback, Martinez`s comments reflect a sense of resilience and optimism within the Inter camp. The team`s journey to the Champions League Final, coupled with their strong domestic performance, provides a foundation for future success.
As Inter look ahead to the next season, the experience gained from this campaign, including the disappointment of the final, may serve as motivation for the team to push even harder in their pursuit of silverware.
