Fabregas: Inter deserved the win

Como lost 2-0 to Inter at the San Siro in Sunday evening's Serie A match. Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram scored in the first 20 minutes, giving the hosts a two-goal lead. Inter kept that lead until the final whistle.

Cesc Fabregas admitted the opponent were better on the pitch. Speaking to DAZN, Fabregas said they started the match badly, made mistakes and lacked confidence.

Fabregas said Inter are the strongest team in Europe in build-up play. He explained that with only two central midfielders available, he brought on Smolcic to find support. He said they gave the ball away cheaply and that this shook their confidence.

Fabregas said Inter were very good on the counter-attack and from set pieces. He pointed out that the opponent committed 13 fouls but did not receive a single yellow card. He stressed that details like these are a sign of experience, and said Como fell short in this area.
