Javier Zanetti admits Inter feel “very bitter at the situation and did not deserve the defeat” in Marseille. “We hope this negative period ends soon.”

The Nerazzurri have now lost six of their last seven games in all competition, failing to score in all of those defeats.

They were beaten 1-0 by Olympique Marseille in the Champions League this evening, falling with the last kick of the game.

“We are very bitter at this situation,” said captain Zanetti after the final whistle.

“I think we played with character, but at the end we conceded a goal. This is football. We just have to start again.

“Bad luck? There was a bit of everything involved. We did not deserve the defeat tonight, but it’s part of this negative period and we hope it ends soon.”
