Lautaro believes Inter ‘certainly deserved better’ in derby against Milan

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez believes that they ‘deserved better’ from the derby against AC Milan, which they lost on Sunday night.

The only goal of the game came early in the second half through a bit of opportunism from Christian Pulisic. An Alexis Saelemaekers shot from distance was parried by Yann Sommer into the path of the USA international, who buried from close range.

From then on it was a stoic defensive effort from Milan, and above all from Mike Maignan. In addition to keeping out Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty inside the final 20 minutes, he also denied Lautaro in the first half with an incredible diving save to tip his shot onto the post.

The Argentine spoke to Sky on the eve of Inter’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid and he revisited Sunday’s derby, which he believes his side deserved more from on the balance of play.

“The derby left a bitter taste in our mouths. We were disappointed because we knew we put in a great performance and certainly deserved better. But now we’ve turned the page,” he said (via MilanPress).

“Head-to-head matches? We’ve been missing something lately, and sometimes that worries us a bit, especially since we’ve never lacked in our performances.”

  1. LOL is he new to Italian futbol or Allegri? I think every Italian WC win and their entire culture is based on solid defense, organized teams and scoring the few chances you create. IF it was about deserving (inferring deserve means attacked more), then throughout history, Netherlands should have at least 2 WC, Spain another, Milan another UCL. etc. The one who scores more, deserves it. period.
