INZAGHI: FEELS HIS SIDE DESERVED TO BAG FULL POINTS.

One of the selling points of the new expanded Champions League format was to bring together the continent's elite teams more often before the knockout stage.

A repeat of the 2023 final, won 1-0 by City, did little to set the pulses racing, but Inter will feel they should have inflicted a first home European defeat in six years for Pep Guardiola's men.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan blazed over the best chance of the match 15 minutes from time.

"I said 'well done guys' to my team in the dressing room. They put in a giant performance," said Inzaghi.
