Inter Milan primavera coach Armando Madonna is delighted with his young players after victory over Rennes.

The result sets up a Wednesday UEFA Youth League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

Madonna remarked, "It wasn't easy after so many months without playing competitively. We've worked a lot in this period, but playing a match is something else entirely. Our attitude was the right one, we entered the field with some real determination and the desire to win."

"Rennes are a really physical team, we suffered but we defended well, then we found the net and created several chances that could've doubled our lead.

"I think, all in all, we deserved this victory. It's difficult for me to pick my starting eleven, and the players who come in from the bench are a key factor because holding on for 90 minutes isn't easy at the minute. The quality we've had coming off the bench has made the difference, but today I want to praise the whole group."
