Mancini offers no excuses as Inter Milan dumped out of Europe

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini offered no excuses after their Europa League defeat to VfL Wolfsburg.

Inter lost 2-1 at home last night to go out of the competition 5-2 on aggregate.

"We are as disappointed as the fans and they have every right to jeer. We had the chances to score more goals, but once we went behind it all became far more difficult," Mancini told Mediaset.

"We knew that we had to score two goals and not concede, but we never seem to end a match with a clean sheet. That changes the situation.

"Unfortunately we make mistakes and therefore concede goals. Wolfsburg are superior to us as a team right now, but the regret is that over two legs we gave them too many gifts.

"I probably haven't been capable of teaching them what I want 100 per cent. The players are working hard and giving everything they've got."
