Interviewed by Corriere della Sera, Henrikh Mkhitaryan It starts from a curiosity that perhaps not everyone knows about. His surname “in Italian can be translated as consolation, comfort”. And then the newspaper’s question comes naturally, rewinding the tape to the bitter defeat against Manchester City in the Champions League final.
Could one consolation be to return to play another Champions League final, after the few minutes in Istanbul, where he wasn’t at his best?
“Yes. Everyone thought that City would score four goals against us, but we played very well and deserved to draw and then also win. Going back would be a dream, even if the road is longer than two years ago. But we believe in it: we are confident that we can do it come again.”
Is it true that your mind is more on the Champions League than on the Scudetto?
“No, all goals are the same.”
