Diouf praised his compatriot Kylian Mbappé, saying he's the best player in the world. The 26-year-old midfielder also acknowledged that Inter made mistakes, which ultimately cost them the game. "We had the quality to do that today. And there was a lot of space. So it's quite frustrating when we make mistakes, but that's top-level football. You learn a lot from these kinds of games," Diouf said.
Inter's defeat was largely due to mistakes from players like Curtis Jones and Josep Martinez, who were at fault for Real Madrid's opening two goals. Despite Lautaro Martinez's late goal, Inter were unable to mount a comeback. The Nerazzurri will look to bounce back from this defeat when they host Udinese at San Siro in the Serie A Round 4 next Monday.
