November 19th Inter Milan central defender Bastoni is the team's main player. In an interview with "Rivista Undici" magazine, he talked about last season's tragic defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final and coach Chivu and other topics.

About the defeat against Paris Saint-Germain

It was a very strange experience. We had just experienced a semi-final that will go down in Champions League history, but PSG were far better than us in the final. It's hard to explain what's going on, it's like we don't realize how powerful they are. Still, it's a source of pride to reach two finals in three years. It's not easy. Of course, we would have preferred to win the championship, but these are valuable experiences.

About restarting the journey

Football always gives you another chance. It wasn't easy and we didn't sleep well for several nights because of the deep disappointment. But over time, you say, “I want to try it again, I want to experience that feeling again.” It’s easier when you have a team that is aligned and supportive of each other.

About team coach Chivu

He has a very positive attitude and is a very good person. He has a passion for his work and that comes through to us in the right way and I think he fits in perfectly with the team.
