“In these two years with Arteta, they’re playing great football, with quality.
“Tomorrow, we will need a great performance to bring home the victory.”

“Everything, because in these matches, it is the details that make the difference,” Darmian replied when asked what is the thing Inter must pay attention to.

“Not really about him, but Manchester City played and still plays beautiful football.
“Many watch them to learn, and it is a team to watch.

“So we will try to do our best to achieve our goals.
“We know we must work as a team both defensively and offensively.
“Our attackers are crucial, we know how important they are and how they make a difference.
“They will do it again this year.”
