Torino 2-2 Inter Milan – Italian Veteran Rues Wasted Opportunity: “Shame We Didn’t Win” | OneFootball

Inter Milan veteran Matteo Darmian delivered his verdict on Sunday’s gut-wrenching 2-2 Serie A draw at Torino. 

Speaking to Rai Radio Uno via FCInterNews, the 36-year-old rued missed opportunities in an awkward fixture at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Torino held Inter to a high-scoring stalemate at home despite lagging two goals behind heading into the last 20 minutes.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri secured a narrow halftime lead through Marcus Thuram, who scored in a fourth consecutive league outing.

Meanwhile, Yann Bisseck doubled the visitors’ advantage just after the hour mark with a thumping header.

However, the runaway Serie A leaders failed to take home all three points as Giovanni Simeone and Nikola Vlasic salvaged a point for Torino.

Darmian, who made maiden league start this season, couldn’t hide his frustration in his post-match interview.

With Luis Henrique injured and Denzel Dumfries lacking match fitness, Cristian Chivu gave Darmian his first Serie A start in the 2025/26 campaign.

Overall, it was just his fifth league appearance this term.

“We took the lead but didn’t manage the result in the best way,” Darmian admitted. “We conceded the first goal, then, riding the momentum, they managed to equalise.

“But it changes relatively little for us; we already knew before the match that we needed four points. We went out onto the pitch as we always do, to try to win.

“We didn’t manage it, but now we’ll recover and prepare for next Sunday’s game against Parma.”

Asked whether fatigue had anything to do with Inter’s late collapse, Darmian replied: “I don’t think so.

“We’re used to playing every three days; we’ve always done that in recent weeks.

“That wasn’t the problem. We were aware of the difficulties Torino could create. It’s a shame we didn’t win, especially after going two goals ahead.

“But we’ll prepare as well as possible for the next one and try to reach our objective as soon as possible.”
