"It's not every year you play in the semi-finals; we were motivated"

Inter's Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko, who opened the scoring against Milan in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, said that although he is 37 years old he "felt fresh".

"I'm 37 years old, but I feel good and that's what's important. I felt fresh, maybe because I had rested three days ago," the striker told 'Amazon Prime Video' Italia after the match.

"The whole team were motivated. It doesn't happen every year that you play in the Champions League semi-finals. We prepared and were focused from the start. It paid off," added one of the stars of the night.

Dzeko, who went more than three months without scoring this season, was at his best. "Whoever knows me knows that I'm like that, I give a lot more than goals and I'm happy even if I don't score them. I'm very happy to have scored, that's for sure," he said.

The Bosnian's contract expires at the end of the season: "My renewal depends on the club," he said.
