Motta hails his Bologna players after stunning Coppa win against Inter Milan

Bologna coach Thiago Motta was proud of their Coppa Italia victory over 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.

Motta said: "We played a complete match, I'm sure that those who started did an extraordinary job. The changes brought us energy with freshness in our legs to give us another rhythm.

"It was a complicated match against the last Champions League finalist, I have to congratulate everyone. The management was extraordinary, we live for moments like these to give to our people. The victory was extraordinary.

"This moment is fantastic, I thank you for the praise towards me and the boys. Getting to a moment like this involves a lot of daily work, it's easy to say that there are little problems but this group never complains. This is why they deserve an evening like this. It's not true that we haven't done anything, we've done extraordinary things but we're only halfway through the season and another important match awaits us on Saturday against Atalanta."
