Lautaro Martinez says that he is “sorry to everyone” after Inter Milan faced a humiliating 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final.

The Nerazzurri captain reflected on the loss in a message on his Instagram account. And in spite of the result, he defiantly proclaimed he is “more proud than ever” to wear the Inter shirt.

Inter Milan did not just lose the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Nerazzurri fell to an absolutely humiliating 5-0 defeat. That was the widest margin that any team has ever lost a Champions League final.

Therefore, it was certainly a result that left Inter wondering what would come next. Not least after Simone Inzaghi decided to step down just a couple days after the final.

“Since the first day I arrived in Milan, all my teammates and I have worked for Inter,” writes Martinez. “To take its place in history, return it to where it deserves to me.”
