Inter Milan keeper Handanovic: Real Madrid wanted it more

Inter Milan captain Samir Handanovic was left frustrated with his teammates after their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.

The Nerazzurri fought back from 2-0 down to get to 2-2, but then another defensive error allowed Rodrygo to snatch the victory.

“There is a lot of bitterness. We had got it back on track and wanted to win, that was the sensation we got on the pitch," the goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia.

“We had two chances and didn't take them, whereas Real Madrid did, and the incidents made the difference. Ultimately, they were more determined.

“In wins and defeats, there is always something positive to take, but we have to become more determined, because we really felt that we could've won it and that is not the first time we've experienced this situation.

“I think we were on a par with Real Madrid, even superior for long periods, but the difference was they were more determined."
