""I don't think there's two different Inters," he told DAZN Italia. "The games we lost in the Champions League, most of them at least, were against big teams. "We have the chance to turn it around with Bodo/Glimt in a few days. "Sometimes it works better, sometimes a bit less. I know before people would say we didn't win big games, now they say we are two different teams in Europe and Italy, but we always try to do our best."
""I am trying to think of all the team-mates I've had, but he's definitely in the top three," Akanji said when asked where Dimarco's left foot ranked among the players he has worked with. "Dimarco has so many assists already, he might be the best, but I don't want to say anything other than that to not discredit anyone else. He's amazing.""
Inter beat Lecce 2-0 with late goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Manuel Akanji, recording seven straight Serie A wins and extending a lead over AC Milan to 10 points. The club has struggled in the Champions League, suffering three group-phase defeats, dropping into the play-offs and losing the first leg 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt. Akanji insisted the team gives full effort in every competition and highlighted the opportunity to reverse the Bodo/Glimt result. Federico Dimarco provided the assist for Akanji and has 13 assists in 24 Serie A appearances, marking five consecutive games with an assist. Inter registered 14 first-half shots and secured a ninth straight away victory.
