Inter Milan midfielder Petar Sucic praised his side’s performance despite an underwhelming 3-1 home defeat to Arsenal.
Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, the 22-year-old lamented a lack of finishing in tonight’s clash.
Cristian Chivu handed the Croatian star only his second Champions League start this season.
And he wasn’t wrong as the former Dinamo Zagreb ace scored a stunning goal to draw Inter level in the first half.
Unfortunately, Sucic’s goal was in vain as Arsenal restored their lead through Gabriel Jesus before Viktor Gyokeres sealed the visitors’ win.
However, Petar Sucic delivered a promising performance in his first competitive start for Inter since the beginning of January.
Petar Sucic Praises Inter Milan Performance In 3-1 Loss to Arsenal
“They are a good team and they play good football, but we played a good match as well.
“We had chances, especially in the first half, when we also managed to score.
“In the second half, we weren’t able to make the most of what we created, which is a shame.
“At the moment, Arsenal have the best defense in the world; we put them under pressure, we created chances, but we need to be more clinical.
“In football, you have to score goals – they scored three and we scored one, and that’s what matters.”
Asked about his brilliant goal, his first in the Champions League since arriving at San Siro, Sucic replied: “It was a nice goal..
“However, it’s not important right now; it’s a different kind of feeling.”
Inter’s third consecutive Champions League defeat has cast further doubt on their hopes of securing a top-eight finish.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri could drop out of the top eight if their nearest competitors win tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Chivu’s side will face Borussia Dortmund in a must-win final-day clash at Signal Iduna Park next week.
now I don’t wonna head shit from that coach about beating Genoa and Caligari !!!! Susic is a player whom u keep on the bench all the time. while that Barrella has been playing like TRASH for a YEAR AND HALF !!!! put a 38 year old in the middle of the defence while Bissic is on the bench !!!! keep playing Thuramn who has been TRASH for months while hving Boni on the bench !!!!! u are a pathetic coach. if u are a young player and have talent you shouldn’t go to inter. they will aonlyplay old men and the same losers who keep losing every big match possible. AC Milan i the only club who truly raised the flag of italian football throughout history.

Ac Milan??? hahahahhhahah
