"Inter captain Lautaro Martinez believes that they 'deserved better' from the derby against AC Milan, which they lost on Sunday night. The only goal of the game came early in the second half through a bit of opportunism from Christian Pulisic. An Alexis Saelemaekers shot from distance was parried by Yann Sommer into the path of the USA international, who buried from close range."
"From then on it was a stoic defensive effort from Milan, and above all from Mike Maignan. In addition to keeping out Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty inside the final 20 minutes, he also denied Lautaro in the first half with an incredible diving save to tip his shot onto the post. The Argentine spoke to Sky on the eve of Inter's Champions League match against Atlético Madrid and he revisited Sunday's derby, which he believes his side deserved more from on the balance of play."
Inter lost the derby to AC Milan 1-0 after Christian Pulisic scored early in the second half following a parry from Yann Sommer off an Alexis Saelemaekers shot. Milan then defended resolutely, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan producing a series of important interventions, including a first-half diving save that tipped Lautaro's shot onto the post and a late stop to keep out Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty. Lautaro Martinez described the result as leaving a bitter taste and said the team felt they deserved more, while noting recent head-to-head performances have produced some concern.
