Antonio Conte insisted Inter could not be compared to Juventus after a 2-1 loss in the Derby d'Italia on Sunday.
Paulo Dybala's opener was cancelled out by Lautaro Martinez's 18th-minute penalty at San Siro, but Gonzalo Higuain scored a late winner for Juve.
It ended Inter's perfect start to the Serie A season and saw eight-time reigning champions Juve return to the top.
Despite Inter's bright start, Conte claims his growing team should not yet be measured against Juventus.
"We could certainly have done a lot better, even in the two goals we conceded in Barcelona [in the Champions League] we could have done a lot better," the Italian head coach stated post-match.
