Alexis Sanchez was essential to Inter’s great comeback, recovering from a three-goal disadvantage and securing a draw at Da Luz against Benfica. Here are the words of the Chilean forward for Sky Sport:
“Comebacks like ours are only made by teams made of champions and Lions. League matches are different from the games in the Champions League; here you have to be careful about every ball.”
“I’m happy because we stayed focused until the end. At halftime, we told ourselves that it was more our fault than their achievement; we had to start playing different football… and we did. We knew that if we score one goal, we could then try to score another.’
“I am happy with what we have done; we have shown a Champions League mentality. I am accustomed to playing important games in my career, and it showed with the penalty I took. I want to play more, I always want to play and the coach knows that. The more I play, the better I feel.”
