Handanovic: "A crucial win"

BOLOGNA – You could say Samir Handanovic’s stoppage time save is worth just as much to his side as the winning goal from Gabriel Barbosa. Speaking after the victory, the Inter keeper said: "It’s always great to get three points, but it’s maybe an even better feeling today because we didn’t have the same level of intensity as we usually do."

"So, we were even more thrilled with the win. Having played so many games, it’s normal to be a bit worn out. In that context, the win means even more," he added.

The Inter stopper then turned attentions to the next game, against Roma.

"It was key to win and we managed to do so; now we await the match with Roma. It was important not to concede. We know that in Italy the best defences win. If you manage not to concede in several games, that gives the team confidence. Against Roma it’ll be a great challenge for all of us."
