Rodrigo Palacio was interviewed by Sky Sport after Inter beat Sampdoria 4-0 away at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Marassi district.

“A very important win. We knew that it would be very difficult but we played the match with great personality and we are happy. We suffered a lot in the first half after we took the lead, but Samir was fantastic today.”

Then he was asked if Inter only play well against good teams to which Palacio replied: “I don’t know, you can win and lose against all the teams. Close to qualifying for Europe? Yes but there are many competitors for that place. We have to continue like this.”
