Former Inter Milan player Antonio Cassano shared his thoughts on the team’s Champions League semifinal performance during an appearance on Viva el Futbol. While he expressed joy as an Inter fan, he was candid in saying that Inter didn’t deserve to reach the final based on how the matches went.
On his emotional reaction as an Inter fan:
“There are very few matches that really move me. I can only recall three others like that. As an Inter supporter, the joy was double. As a player and fan, when Acerbi scored, I was emotional. I know him and everything he’s been through.
It was a stunning goal—like something Harry Kane would score. I felt deeply moved when I saw it, and I was twice as happy because I’m an Inter fan.”
On Davide Frattesi’s contribution:
“Why is nobody talking about him? He gets no attention, yet he scored away against Bayern and also scored against Barça.”
Did Inter deserve to qualify over the two legs?
“I don’t think they did. Even in Tuesday’s match, it was one-sided.
Even when Inter were up 2-0, Barça still dominated possession and created many chances. The game could easily have ended 4-2.
Sommer made some incredible saves—ones he’ll remember for the rest of his life. That stop on Yamal was unreal.
As a fan, I’m beyond happy—but if we’re talking performance, Inter didn’t deserve it.”
