Denzel Dumfries admits Inter players discussed Simone Inzaghi exit rumours ahead of Champions League humiliation against PSG and vows they are fired up to win European title after upset

In an interview to Gazzetta Dello Sport, the Inter defender opened up on what it was like in the dressing room prior to the Champions League final.

Inter were defeated 5-0 by PSG at the Allianz Arena in Munich in the Champions League final, after which manager Simone Inzaghi headed to Saudi Arabia to sign a lucrative deal with Al-Hilal.

Dumfries spoke about the impact of Inzaghi when he said: "It was very difficult for me and for everyone, we were very close to Inzaghi. I arrived here at Inter with him, everything I built at Inter was with him. For four years we were like a family.

"The rumours did not influence us in the preparation for the final, but it is clear that we were reading. We heard rumours that we carried inside, but without talking about them among ourselves because everyone was focused only on the final. I assure you that in our heads there was only PSG and nothing else.

"My Inter dream is simple: to win the Champions League, the only thing missing. I'd like to bring the trophy to Milan and celebrate it in a sea of fans like I did with the second star."

Dumfries and Inter are set to take on River Plate in the final game of the FIFA Club World Cup group stage on Wednesday night.
