Simone Inzaghi threatened to leave Inter Milan, but managed to qualify the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. After the aggregate score of 5:3 against Lisbon “Benfica”, the Italian coach spoke about the criticism he received.

Simone Inzaghi: “I work to make the fans happy”

“We are very happy, this is a very important evening for “Inter”. This is a well-deserved qualification. We are in the semi-finals, it is a dream and we will do our best.

We got through a tough group and we did it because we were united. We are working to experience the kind of evenings that “Inter” have not enjoyed in the last many years.

I know why there is criticism, I have been in football for many years and I am used to it. I work to make the fans happy” – Simone Inzaghiquoted by Football Italia.

“Derby della Madonnina” in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League

With a rather weak course of the championship, especially in the last period, Inter played a pretty good match at home, leading 3:1, but in the end tied with Benfica (3:3).

Barella, Lautaro Martinez and Joaquin Correa all impressed for Simone Inzaghi’s side, and although the Lusitanians scored twice late on, it was Giuseppe Meazza who got the party started.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Inter will face their great rival Milan.
