Inter 1-3 Arsenal: Sucic Praises Nerazzurri After Another Champions League Setback
Match overview
Inter Milan suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Arsenal at San Siro, a result that underlined both the team’s attacking intent and its finishing woes. Arsenal took the win after Gabriel Jesus restored their lead and Viktor Gyokeres sealed the visitors’ victory following Petar Sucic’s impressive leveller.
Sucic shines despite the scoreline
Petar Sucic, making only his second Champions League start of the season and his first competitive start since early January, delivered a bright individual display and scored a stunning goal to draw Inter level in the first half. He stressed the positives after the game: “They are a good team and they play good football, but we played a good match as well. We had chances, especially in the first half, when we also managed to score.”
Clinical edge missing
Sucic was clear about the difference-maker: Inter created opportunities but failed to convert them. “In the second half, we weren’t able to make the most of what we created, which is a shame. At the moment, Arsenal have the best defense in the world; we put them under pressure, we created chances, but we need to be more clinical.” His verdict was blunt: goals decide matches, and Arsenal scored three while Inter managed one.
Tactical takeaways
Inter’s pressing and chance creation suggested a game plan that troubled Arsenal at stages, but a lack of composure in the final third and occasional defensive lapses proved costly. The balance between attack and defensive solidity will be the key adjustment required if Inter are to turn tight fixtures into points.
