Following his side’s elimination from the Coppa Italia on penalties, Inter captain Mauro Icardi has launched a broadside at the club’s critics on Instagram.
The Nerazzurri trailed 3-0 to Juventus from the first leg, but fought back to win by the same score at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the second only to lose on penalties.
Although it was ultimately in vain, the performance and spirit shown by Roberto Mancini’s side in the second leg was commendable, which Icardi was keen to point out.
“Well done to everyone,” he posted, “there are no words to describe such a night. We fought, we made it a memorable game and we were on the verge of making history.”
“We knew it was not easy to overturn a 3-0 deficit, but I said from day one that this is a great team and we saw it today on the field.
“To think that there are still some people who say this team has no guts.”
