A 99th minute extra-time winner of Davide Fratesi saw Inter Triumph 4-3 in the night and reached the last 7-6 on total.
Paolillo said to L'Or Interista: “I first feared a heart attack for Frattesi, then for me because we all risked it. A beautiful match, nobody can say that Inter did not earn this historical performance completely. Everyone, from the first to the last player.
“It was like Italy-German 4-3: it is already in the history of football.
“It would be crazy to say that I expected it, it shows the greatness of this team. Character, technology: fantastic.”
Inter can beat both Arsenal and PSG
When asked about the favorite opponent for the final, he continued: “I prefer PSG, but I am convinced that both can be beat. They are both great, but I am convinced that this inter can think of to beat someone.
“(Simone) Inzaghi has given this team a great game, it's wonderful to watch and it's a huge group. The credit goes to him.
“The group, the skill of Inzaghi when creating it, of (Beppe) Marotta who chose Inzaghi and built this team. You can see when they celebrate how they are united.”
