Gasperini Admits Roma Took 'A Blow to Morale' in Inter Defeat

Gian Piero Gasperini acknowledged that his team endured "a real blow to morale" during their 5-2 loss to Serie A leaders Inter at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Gasperini saw his side fall behind within the first minute after a goal from Lautaro Martinez, but they equalized five minutes before halftime through Gianluca Mancini. However, Hakan Calhanoglu restored Inter's lead shortly after, and the hosts dominated the second half with three more goals to secure a convincing victory. Gasperini emphasized the psychological impact of the defeat but vowed to regroup ahead of Roma's upcoming fixtures.
