Inzaghi is disappointed with Ajax missing out in CL: “Second draw worse”

Inter would initially face Ajax in the eighth finals of the Champions League, but due to a serious error during the draw, a new opponent had to be determined. In the renewed attempt, the Italian champion was linked to Liverpool. It led to frustrations with coach Simone Inzaghi.

“It was not going well for us during the first draw”, the coach at  Striscia la Notizia sighed . “But the second draw was a lot worse. But that is a concern for later. We will only deal with the match against Liverpool in February. Ajax and Liverpool both finished in first place in their group stage and made a big impression.

Ajax was linked to Inter in the first draw, but will be happy that a new draw had to be done. It became clear from this that the team from Amsterdam will compete against the Portuguese Benfica. That team was still too strong for PSV in the play-offs for the Champions League and trumped FC Barcelona in the group stage in the battle for the winter.

Inter decided not to protest against the new draw. Real Madrid did, but got zero on the bill. The Madrilenians would initially face Benfica in the eighth final, but were now linked to Paris Saint-Germain.
