Mauro Icardi was upset that “the first half performance was not up to Inter standards” in their 2-0 defeat to Barcelona.
Rafinha scored the opener, then the Nerazzurri remained in the match with chances – largely thanks to Samir Handanovic – until a Jordi Alba angled drive.
“I think the difference today was in the first half, where we didn’t play up to Inter standards. We left too many spaces and allowed them the initiative,” Icardi told Sky Sport Italia.
“In the second half, we did better and forced Barcelona to misplace passes, but could’ve done more to make the most of the situation by finishing off the chances.
“I am not very happy with the performance, because we could’ve done well from the start and instead were pinned back. We’ve got to put in a great shift at San Siro and get points to go through.
“We knew that we were up against world class champions who have won everything over the years. If you allow them a goal, it becomes difficult to recover.”

first of all I never saw this man called Icardi.i believe he is over rated. and secondly I hope Luis Enrique is watching jordi Alba. thirdly I am very proud of both pique and lenglet .Barcelona have played 2 big match with just 2 central back. then fourthly, that man called xavi that the club have been looking for is back to the club. I love the team spirit .bring on woeful Madrid.

King Arthur out of this world who said he's just a 22 years old kid.Look at his game so much maturity so much confidence bhe played like Xavi he has Barça DNA..When he has the ball in his feet nobody dare to win it..Very mature passes.He just played 3 matches so far but looks like he's playing for Barça for years..He is the future of Barça and Brazil.Whole team's performance was top class..Another player who stunned me with his performance Jordi Alaba He is best left back in the world..He made chances,his interceptions in midfield,his defense was awesome..we could have 5-0 score that chances we missed..You guys made my night thanks.... My man of the match
