Inter Milan 1-3 Arsenal – Luis Henrique Admits: “They Were More Ruthless In Front Of Goal” | OneFootball

Inter Milan wingback Luis Henrique explained one key difference between the Nerazzurri and Arsenal after tonight’s 3-1 home defeat.

Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, the Brazilian star admitted that the Italian giants were not clinical in the front third.

With Denzel Dumfries on the sidelines, Cristian Chivu handed Henrique another Champions League start.

Though the former Marseille star fared reasonably well against Leandro Trossard, his attacking contribution was minimal once again.

Meanwhile, Petar Sucic seized his opportunity to shine on the biggest stage, scoring a superb goal early in the first half.

However, it wasn’t enough to prevent Inter’s third consecutive defeat at Europe’s top table.

“I think we played a great match,” Henrique said. “Arsenal are a strong team.

“They may have shown more ruthlessness than us in the box, and that’s what we lacked.

“We weren’t able to impose our tempo or score.”

Asked whether he feels more confident playing in a wider role, he replied: “Yes, I feel more confident there, and I’m improving with every game.

“I feel good physically. The more I play, the better it is for me.

“If we have to go through the playoffs, so be it – the important thing is to play and perform well.”

Chivu’s men are now at risk of dropping out of the top eight.

Furthermore, they’ll face Borussia Dortmund in another mouth-watering Champions League fixture on the final matchday.

Anything other than a win at Signal Iduna Park would probably send the Nerazzurri into the knockout playoffs.
