Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez addressed the media after the hard-fought 1-0 UEFA Champions League win against Arsenal.

During his post-game chat with Prime via FCInterNewsThe Argentine international praised the team’s performance in today’s mammoth duel.

Simone Inzaghi headlined another iconic European evening.

Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty just before half-time gave Inter a crucial home win against the Gunners.

It was never going to be a routine task for the Nerazzurri.

However, they passed the test with flying colors and kept a clean sheet in as many Champions League games this season.

With ten points and zero goals conceded, they occupy fifth place in the overall ranking of the 36 teams.

In fact, Simone Inzaghi’s high-flyers are only separated by two points from league leaders Liverpool.

More importantly, another impeccable defensive performance saw Inter extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.

That’s why they will go into the delicious Serie A duel against Napoli next weekend with high spirits.

Martinez failed to find the net.

But he fought with all his might for every possession and set a good example for his team.

“It’s wonderful to play these cup games and it’s great to play against top teams like Arsenal,” said the 27-year-old.

“We have done our part; In the first 25 minutes we showed quality and caused them problems.

“Then we lost intensity and suffered a bit. We showed character for over 90 minutes and stuck together as a team.”

Additionally, he played down talk of an on-field coaching role.

“No, no, it’s the coach’s job,” he added. “Sometimes I also want to convey things from the outside.

“When you win, it’s better to stay on the top line.

“I played 90 minutes with Venezia. The more I play, the better I feel.

“Those are the coach’s decisions, now let’s think about what’s coming in the league.”
