Bologna goalkeeper Ravaglia: I just knew I'd save Lautaro penalty

Bologna goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia was left delighted after their Coppa Italia win against Inter Milan.

Bologna won 2-1 thanks to two extra-time goals from Sam Beukema and Dan Ndyoe after Carlo Augusto had given Inter the lead. Before extra-time, Ravaglia saved a 65th minute penalty from Lautaro Martinez.

Ravaglia said: "I'm very happy with this result, we believed in it until the end. I really have no words. Every time I enter San Siro I am enchanted.

"The penalty was a crazy adrenaline rush, I couldn't wait for the referee to blow the final whistle. The penalty? As soon as the referee blew the whistle, I immediately said to myself 'I'll save it'.

"Even on the bus I will look at it again. We are all involved and training as hard as we can. When I decided to stay as second this year, I always tried to be ready. I worked a lot and it went well."
