Inter Milan Captain Praises His Teammates After Spectacular Triumph Vs Barcelona: 'This Team Never Dies'

Lautaro had to overcome a slight thigh problem to feature tonight.

A true warrior he is, El Toro didn’t let fatigue stand in his way as he rejoined the squad in time and led by example.

“I was struggling a bit, I felt my leg differently and couldn’t lift it,” he admitted after the game. “I spent two days crying at home, doing double training sessions.

“Though I wasn’t at 100%, I wrapped my leg tightly and stepped onto the field. That’s just how I am.

“I cried a lot with my wife and kids, but I promised that I would play today.

“Even my mom was worried; she called me in the morning, and I didn’t answer. Now she’ll send me a thousand messages.

“I didn’t finish well, but I’ll work to recover because there are many important games ahead.

“There are a lot of pressures and thoughts in here. Barcelona is strong, but Inter has been raising its level for five years.

“Today, we were almost out for a moment, but this team doesn’t die.”

Finally, he revealed how badly he wants to lift the famous ‘Big Ears.’

“A lot, from day one. From the day we lost the final.

“Now we need to recover our energy, then enjoy the final because we can still make history for this great club.”
