Kevin De Bruyne is pleased with the performance of Wolfsburg in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie with Inter, but is not getting carried away after the 3-1 win.

Nicklas Bendtner could return to Wolfsburg's starting XI when the Bundesliga side take on Inter Milan in Thursday's Europa League round-of-16 second leg, according to coach Dieter Hecking.
Bendtner, 27, joined Wolfsburg on a free transfer last summer after the Denmark international had been released from his contract at Arsenal.
The striker has repeatedly made headlines during his career, saying in February: "I meet people who think that I am the greatest person in the world, and I also meet…

Inter manager Roberto Mancini refused to blame Juan Carrizo for Inter Milan's 3-1 UEFA Europa League defeat to Wolfsburg.

Internazionale's 1-1 draw with Cesena on Sunday was not met with the horror or shock that it would have been in days gone by. It's true that boos bellowed around San Siro after the final whistle, but that is nothing new — it is perhaps something that was more prevalent under the reign of Walter Mazzarri rather than Roberto Mancini but it is still a common feature of the season.
Like their city rivals Milan, it has been a disappointing campaign, but unlike the Rossoneri there is a sliver of light…

Inter have to overturn a 3-1 deficit against Wolfsburg at the San Siro to progress in the Europa League.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has all but given up hope of qualifying for the Champions League via Serie A this season, but says he hopes still to create a shock in Europe.
Speaking after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Cesena which left the Nerazzurri nine points behind third-placed Lazio, who have a game in hand, Mancini admitted he was probably being too optimistic thinking his side would be able to bridge that gap in the final 11 games of the season.
"Of course I can't be happy," he told Sky…

Inter manager Roberto Mancini refused to blame Juan Carrizo for Inter Milan's 3-1 UEFA Europa League defeat to Wolfsburg.

Inter crashed to a 3-1 defeat in Germany against Wolfsburg in the Europa League in a game where their defence was exposed yet again. Roberto Mancini may look back at the defeat and agonise about various recurring issues that have caused his team to fall apart at an important juncture in the competition. He has bemoaned Inter's failings at the back in the past and this made his choice of custodian a major talking point.

Mancini made a decision early on in his tenure that originally seemed both sound…

Nemanja Vidic has not enjoyed the best time in Serie A.

Nemanja Vidic's agent insists claims that the Inter Milan defender has fallen out with coach Roberto Mancini are "lies."
The Serbian has struggled to make his mark with the Nerazzurri this season, first under Walter Mazzarri and more recently with Mancini. Vidic has played 15 league games this season for the ninth-placed side, scoring one goal, and has been used just four times in the Europa League.
Indeed, there have been reports the 33-year-old could be on his way back to former club Manchester…
