"We know that we might have to go through the play-offs, that is not a problem for us. The regret is that in these three games we could've had more, perhaps not [against Arsenal], but against Atletico [Madrid] and Liverpool, a little more maturity and concentration could have made the difference. I think a month on from those matches, if we had the same attitude we did this evening, then it would've been a different result."
"After winning their opening four games of this season's Champions League, Inter have since lost each of their last three, marking their joint-longest losing run in the competition along with 2006 and 2011. And it was a potentially damaging defeat for Inter, who have slipped out of the automatic qualification spots and into ninth, with half of the penultimate round of fixtures still to be played."
Cristian Chivu expressed regret about Inter's three-game Champions League losing streak but said the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal was not the main source of regret, crediting Arsenal's intensity. Arsenal won 3-1 at San Siro with Gabriel Jesus scoring twice and Viktor Gyokeres also scoring, while Petar Sucic had equalised in the first half. Inter began the campaign with four wins but then lost three straight, matching their joint-longest losing run in the competition. The defeat dropped Inter to ninth and jeopardised automatic qualification, though the squad showed courage, growth and the right attitude despite difficulties.
