Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte
said he found it hard to accept that his side lost 2-1 at
Barcelona on Wednesday after giving the Catalan giants a run for
their money at the Camp Nou.
The Serie A leaders took an early lead thanks to Lautaro
Martínez but Barca came back to win with a double by Luis
Suárez.
"I struggle to find positives after a defeat because I really
suffer when I lose," said Conte, whose side are third in Group F
with one point, three behind Barca and Borussia Dortmund.
"A great team never go back home happy after a defeat, even
after playing well, as we did.
"It's hard to take because with all we created we deserved
more than Barcelona.
"But congratulations to them.
"In the end, a couple of cracks changed everything. It's a
shame.
"There is some satisfaction coming here against a team that
is set up to win the Champions League and we were able to hurt
them, just not as much as we could have".
Napoli, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw at Genk.
Despite the disappointing result, they are top of Group E
with four points after beating European champions Liverpool in
their opening game.
