Inter Milan head coach, Antonio Conte has rule out missed opportunities that cost his side exit from the Coppa Italia semi final game.
Milan drew 1-1 against Napoli at Naples. Eriksen had put Conte side in the lead as he scored directly from a free kick under two minutes.
Just before half time, Diers Mertens equalised from a counter attack as Napoli took an 2-1 aggregate.
"Looking at both matches, we deserved much more," the Inter boss said in his post-match interview with Rai Sport.
The Italian manager added that his side deserved to have won the game based on their performance but believes David Ospina produced some fantastic saves.
He added :"In terms of the performance, I have very little to reproach the boys about. This is the football we want to play; we created a lot and were aggressive. Maybe we should have been more clinical in front of goal, but Ospina performed miracles.
"Their goal was disappointing because it was a careless situation that we could have avoided. But I'm satisfied because we're on the right path, we controlled the game against a strong Napoli team.
"My glass is half-full. We created numerous opportunities and had 18 efforts at goal. Ospina was the best player on the pitch.
"Obviously, we can improve, and we need to be more ruthless in the future, but I don't have anything to complain about in terms of desire and determination.
"We did what we'd worked on in training. It's disappointing for the lads not to qualify for the final because, based on what we did over the 180 minutes, we deserved to do so."
Napoli will now play Juventus in the final after Juventus held AC Milan to a goalless draw but advance on aggregate of 1-1.
