We were hoping to finish the championship unbeaten," commented Roberto Mancini after Inter's 3-1 defeat against Roma. "We didn't play in the first half today, just like what happened against Palermo on Sunday evening. We did very well in the second half and their goal from the free kick was lucky. It means we will win the Scudetto a few weeks late."
The Inter boss added: "We knew a win would have secured the Scudetto, maybe we had a bit of tennis elbow today. We were a bit tense in the first half, but we played very well in the second half. Everyone has been saying the championship has been over for weeks, and it's probably true, but there can be a bit of fear when it's time to finish it off. The team did very well in the second half today. We created several chances to win and we were unlucky. We certainly didn't deserve to lose. But matches are played until the end, and you can let in a goal in the last minute.
"What happened against Palermo and Roma will definitely come in handy for the match in Siena. Now we have to stay calm and try to finish it off as soon as possible. You could see that it was meant to go like this today."
