We must learn lesson, says Moratti
Thursday 27 November, 2008

Inter President Massimo Moratti feels the Nerazzurri's humbling at the hands of Panathinaikos was an important lesson.

The Italian champions were unexpectedly beaten 1-0 by the Greek giants at San Siro.

Although Inter have still squeezed through to the last 16 of the Champions League, the defeat has made an impact.

“The glass is half full because we qualified, but although we are happy about that, we aren't pleased with our performance because it was a horrible showing,” Moratti told Inter's website.

“There are no excuses, Panathinaikos played really well and they took a clever approach to what was a difficult game.

“Jose Mourinho criticised himself and the way the game was played. He was professional and did it with humility.

“I saw the players after the game and they were annoyed but sometimes these lessons need to be learned,” he concluded.
