Inter Milan made Benjamin Pavard (29) his hero. Wednesday evening, on the occasion of the quarter-final return of the Champions League between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich (2-2, 4-3 for the Inter cumulative), the French defender allowed the Nerazzurri to score a second decisive goal of the head to take a big step towards qualification. His very first in the jersey of the Italian club made a lot of talk, especially on the side of his former club, since some fans saw the celebration of the 2018 world champion as a lack of respect.

But on his social networks, Benjamin Pavard wanted to answer: “This club was my house for many years. I will never forget the honor that it was to be the last player to wear number 5 and to perpetuate the legacy of a legend. FC Bayern allowed me to become the player I am today. My celebration was only the joy of a child who plays a quarter -final of the Champions League. There has never been a question of a lack of respect for FC Bayern fans ”. Enough to calm the Bavarians.
