Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti was pleased with their 1-0 win at Europa League opponents Rapid Wien.

Lautaro Martinez earned and converted the decisive penalty in Austria for the Europa League Round of 32.

“The result and the performance were both important. We could've done better, but we were up against a team that is organised and strong on the counter," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“I found the pitch a bit sticky and it was tiring to play on it, at least that's what the players told me. It affected our passing game, but we did well anyway.

“We always seem to get into trouble when it looks easy on paper, so we have to be wary for the second leg. Nothing will change for Rapid Vienna, they'll still try to play on the counter."
