Alessandro Costacurta believes Inter’s slip-up in Serie A will lead to a positive reaction from the team ahead of the imminent Champions Final: ‘They have understood they can’t give up one centimetre.’

Inter wasted a golden possibilità to overtake Napoli at the top of the Serie A table last night as they were held to a 2-2 home draw by Lazio, while the Partenopei picked up a point in a 0-0 stalemate in Parma.

This means the Nerazzurri are still second in the table, one point below Antonio Conte’s men with one game remaining.

Inter are also preparing for the Champions Final, and Sky Sport asked Italy and Milan legend Costacurta how the team would react to the latest disappointment in the league.

Costacurta expects positive Inter reaction

“I believe positively. I think Inter have understood they can’t give up one centimetre,” Costacurta replied via FcInter1908. 

“These kinds of challenges are beneficial. Those goals help you grow, and then you know how to react well. We saw it against Barcelona. The team knows how to respond well when they come out of moments like that.”

The Nerazzurri will play the final game of the Serie A campaign away at Como on Friday, while Napoli will host Cagliari.

The Champions Final has been scheduled for May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich against Ligue 1 giants PSG.
