Thuram, who was named the best player of the match, said: "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me. Champions League games are always difficult, and any opponent may bring unexpected situations. We must stay focused and play the game we want. It's really important not to concede a goal in the early stages of the game, but at the same time, we sometimes have difficulties breaking the deadlock."

"As for the balance, we are looking for it every day and are improving and hope to keep it that way. I believe that in a few games we will reach the ideal state. The Champions League schedule is long, just like the league, and we have to play one game at a time."

In addition, Inter Milan midfielder Zielinski said in an interview, "We have the ability to go further in every competition. Although it is not easy, we will try our best. This victory is crucial and we have demonstrated our strength. The games in the Champions League are not easy, but we are very happy to play an excellent game with the right attitude."

"I can contribute more in terms of goals and assists, and that will definitely come. I need to be more aggressive defensively, but I felt I played well in this game. I haven't started for a while, so these performances are important for myself and the team. I'm really happy to have played, and it's important to play well and contribute."
