“What a joy to bring home the match ball after a game like this. I won’t let anyone touch it”. This is what Mauro Icardi had to say to Inter Channel after the win against Atalanta. The Argentinian continues: “The penalty? It came out like this, I took it a bit high because the goalkeeper is tall. I prepared it with Ansaldi. The hug with Andreolli? After he lost his father this was a way to show him that we are close to him”.

Then Icardi continues to talk about the game: “We had been preparing exactly this kind of match knowing how the opponents would play. But even we didn’t expect this many goals. You can always improve (laughing). If it was a red card on Toloi? The referee told me that there was another defender and that it wasn’t a clear chance to score, but I was heading towards the goal all by myself. I scored a bit later on the penalty.”
