“Well, Inter remain a strong team. I think, tactically, they’re probably one of the best in the Champions League” Sagna began.

“They’ve been performing really well. Last year, of course, it was a massive blow for them and disappointment to lose the way they lost in the final.

“However, they know what it takes and what is the road to follow to reach the top, and they’ve been doing back-to-back.” Sagna continued.

“And I think they have the right mentality. They kept the same team, they have the same players. And I think they have maybe that environment that pushed them to succeed in the Champions League” he added.

“Now it’s the group stage, and it doesn’t mean too much the defeat to Arsenal. Of course, they lost at home, they must be disappointed.

“However as I always say, it’s a marathon. When they will play, direct matches in the knockouts, this is when it will really matter” Sagna continued.

In conclusion Sagna argued: “The main target now is to qualify from the group stage. And then they will probably take it more seriously.”
