Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte was disappointed with the loss against Real Madrid by 3-2 in the recently concluded Champions League encounter and described the loss as “Bitter taste in the mouth”.
“The result, of course, leaves a bitter taste in the mouth but these matches show that the team is improving. I don’t know how many teams would have the character to play this sort of game in Madrid. We went down by two, brought it back and could have made it 3-2. This team is taking strides to grow in all aspects,” the club’s official website quoted Conte as saying.
Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema scored the first goal of the match in 25th Minute and he was equally complimented by Skipper Ramos with his goal on 33rd Minute for Spanish giants. Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez and Ivan Perisic one goal each to level the match but eventually Rodrygo’s strike in the 80th minute sealed the victory for ace Spanish Club. Conte said that his side has to pay more attention to the “small details”.

“Unfortunately, the results aren’t rewarding us but these sort of performances have to give us more confidence and strength in our desire to return to being a respected team. The group is improving on the European stage but there are no shortcuts, we just need to pay more attention to the small details,” he said.
“We go home with a tough result but we’re convinced of what we can do. We played an excellent game against a side such as Real Madrid who had been talking of the match as though it was a final for three days,” Conte added.
