Milan's "Inter" on Wednesday failed to break through Shakhtar Donetsk's defense and not only ended their UEFA Champions League campaign, but also did not even earn the right to continue the season in the Europa League. After the match, "Inter" coach Antonio Conte had no complaints about his players and stated that throughout the group stage his team did not receive enough respect from the referees. "My players gave everything. It's unbelievable that we didn't score a goal against Shakhtar in two matches. It's disappointing for many reasons, but I don't think we lacked dedication. We simply lacked goals, and without them, it's impossible to win in football. We also had some bad luck in the Champions League due to the decisions of the referees or VAR. The "Inter" club simply was not respected. I suggest reviewing all the controversial situations we had this season. We could have definitely reached the quarterfinals," Conte said after the match with Shakhtar.
