MILAN – He was tonight’s matchwinner after his double helped Inter clinch a 2-0 win over Cluj, but Rodrigo Palacio‘s first thoughts were for the man he replaced, Diego Milito: “I was sorry to come on because Diego got injured. It was an important win tonight but these ties are played over 180 minutes,” the Argentine striker told Mediaset Premium moments after the final whistle.
He continued: “I feel the same as I did when I first joined this club: like an extra man. We’ve got lots of forwards here and there will always be someone doing a good job. Kovacic? Mateo had a great game, he’s incredibly talented. Yes, I felt comfortable playing with a diamond formation, but then I always do.”
