The 36-year old Slovenian has also said 'we must learn from our mistakes and do better'.

The Black and Blues goalkeeper said Inter Milan has little time 'to work on the defence' as they get ready to slug it out with German Bundesliga side Borussia Mochengladbach on Wednesday in their first UEFA Champions League preliminary match.

Handanovic has not kept a clean sheet since inception of the 2020-21 season as he has already conceded eight goals in only four matches.

At a press conference, Handanovic said: “A goalkeeper is always worried when he concedes eight goals. Goals are the life of the attack and the defence.

“But I’m not very worried because we create a lot of chances, we have to be more clinical in front of goal.

“It’s normal that they can catch us off guard. We didn’t have much time to work on the defence, we need to learn from our mistakes and benefit from them.

“We must raise our level in the Champions League, and everyone needs to do better.”
