Luciano Spalletti said his side were too caught up in the pressure surrounding their 1-1 draw against PSV in the final group stage match of the Champions League.

Inter finished third in the group after the result, tied on points with Tottenham. They are now in the Europa League.

Spalletti lamented his side's inability to tactically calm down the match, saying how PSV's counter attacking ability increased the tension in his side. 

Spalletti added that "we did not manage to remain calm even though everything was still possible and we got nervous by losing a few too many balls due to some tactical disorder. They counter attacked a lot, something that increased the tension and nervousness and these are things that make you lose focus on the game. We suffered too many counter attacks, counter attacks that did not cause us too much damage but it was how we wanted to manage the game when we set up the game plan. We were too affected by the tension surrounding this game.”
