Handanovic hopeful over European berth

Samir Handanovic has not given up hope of Inter sneaking into the European places in Serie A after their morale-boosting win over Lazio on Sunday.

A Hernanes double saw Roberto Mancini's men come from behind at the Stadio Olimpico to record a 2-1 victory over nine-man Lazio.

Inter's campaign has been largely disappointing, but, after going seven games unbeaten, Handanovic is confident they can secure a UEFA Europa League place.

"We need to keep fighting for Europe until the end of the season," he told the club's official website. "We have a duty to.

"It was an important win [against Lazio] and I am pleased. We have to produce more of the same. 

"It is our duty to keep trying until the end because anything can happen in football."
