LILLE - Javier Zanetti was beaming this evening after the Lille match, which was his 100th match in European competitions. "Winning tonight was by no means easy, especially here," said the Nerazzurri captain on Inter Channel. However, these hard-earned victories, where the spirit of the team shows through, are very important. I think our squad really showed what they could do tonight, showing great character and sacrifice after losing two consecutive matches in the league."
These defeats lead us to think of the fans and today was a new leaf for them, too. "I think the fans know what we're going through and that we're coming through it now together; just as we won today, from now on we'll all need to pull together. We need to stick together and react. This was a victory we needed, we suffered quite a bit to get there, but showed great character doing so. It's not so important to think about where we are in the league at this stage, we should look ahead."
