Inter's 'bitter' Europa League defeat to Sevilla can be 'starting point' - Handanovic

Inter were left with "a great bitterness" after their Europa League final defeat to Sevilla but Samir Handanovic believes it can be a starting point for more positive things.

The Nerazzurri last won a trophy in 2011 and in his pre-match news conference Inter captain Handanovic said securing the silverware would enable the club to head back towards their previous heights.

They appeared to be on course to do just that when Romelu Lukaku fired home a penalty after being felled by Diego Carlos in the fifth minute in Cologne, before a pair of headers from Luuk de Jong put Sevilla in front.
