Parma goalkeeper Gigi Buffon insists they can be proud of last night's Coppa Italia defeat to Inter Milan.

The 45 year-old was outstanding in the 2-1 defeat.

He said: "We fought to pursue a dream. We really gave everything we had, but unfortunately it wasn't enough.

"It's always sad to lose but evenings like these can only make us understand our real value.

"Thanks to all those who have pushed up to the 120th!"
