The 26-year-old spoke to InterTV, via FCInterNews, after yesterday’s 3-3 draw against Barcelona.

Inter Milan played out a spectacular 3-3 draw against Barcelona in the first leg of a Champions League semifinal tie yesterday.

It was yet another impressive result for Inter in Europe, in a season that has been full of them.

In the previous round, Inter eliminated Bayern Munich. They won their quarterfinal tie 4-3 on aggregate.

Meanwhile, Inter got a draw away to Manchester City in the league phase of the competition. Meanwhile, they beat the likes of Arsenal, RB Leipzig, and Monaco.

In the second leg, therefore, Inter will have plenty of confidence that they can get the better of Barcelona.

Then, in the final, the Nerazzurri could face one of Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal.
