ROME - "Juan was incredible, he negated the threat of Lamela, we must congratulate him, and not only for tonight because he's been performing well for a while now." Captain Javier Zanetti was quick to single out the Brazilian for praise as he spoke to Inter Channel.
"We're disappointed with the defeat but there's still the second leg to play. We hope to have the strength to turn the tie around, it means a lot to us."
Praise too for Ricky Alvarez: "Alvarez is back, he played well, let's hope he can be consistent and play his part, I think he's an asset to us."
