Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte insisted he was to blame for misjudging opponents Slavia Prague after the Chinese-owned club rescued a disappointing 1-1 draw in their Champions League opener against the Czech outsiders on Tuesday.

Substitute Nicolo Barella scored eight minutes into stoppage time in the San Siro after Nigerian forward Peter Olayinka put the Czech club ahead in the 63rd minute.

"Slavia Prague attacked us with intensity and showed a ruthless streak," said Conte.

"We didn't do well in terms of finding the right solutions and struggled too much."
"There must be no player who goes home happy. You have to go home pissed off, thinking about what to do to avoid this kind of performance."
"I'm the one who's primarily responsible, for selections made and obviously I didn't make the lads understand what I wanted from them well enough."
