The comeback, the win, Icardi's role: Spalletti's comments after Inter-Tottenham

Inter had a fascinating return to the Champions League this evening, coming back to beat Tottenham 2-1 in the dying moments of the match. Their manager, Luciano Spalletti, spoke to Sky Sport after the game: "The fact that we overturned the result gives greater enthusiasm than winning in a normal manner. You could see how the whole stadium participated. You saw in the flow and balance of the game, we were always high enough. Like this you give a lot of space to the defensive line, and that which the team needed to do, they did tonight, as well as a great game. A victory like this gives you different convictions of our potential. To unlock a player like Mauro is fundamental, he is a strong reference point for us. Icardi is a serious person, a great guy. He loves Inter. He is a leader inside the group. But there are other great players and we must win even without Mauro."
