Witsel confident Atletico will come from behind against Inter

Atletico Madrid's Axel Witsel lamented the 1-0 defeat suffered in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie against Inter because his side had played "a good first half" and had "defended well", but remarked that there remains "a chance" at home.

"It's a great pity about that goal. The first half was good. We lacked something in attack, a different thing that we normally do. The second half was a little bit tougher, where we didn't have the ball much. It was tough in the second half, but in the end we defended well. It's a pity we conceded this goal," he told 'Movistar Liga de Campeones'.

"A pity. If we had played in the second half like we did after the goal, the game could have been different. We have the second leg at home, with our fans, we're going to have a crazy atmosphere. We can do it," Witsel continued.

"It's the Champions League. It's the highest level. But we have one more chance. We know that coming here is not easy. It's a difficult pitch. Of course the draw was much better for us, but we're going all out for the second leg," he said.
