Inter defeated Roma 6-5 on penalties after an exciting 2-2 draw at the Giuseppe Meazza to clinch the SuperCoppa. Ibrahimovic played a key role in the win, as he tucked his penalty away in the shoot-out, and insisted his side deserved to win the match.
"The whole team played very well and we dominated for 70 minutes," said the Swedish international, who had a hand in setting up the opening goal.
"But then they scored and took courage from that. To play 120 minutes at the beginning of the season is never easy."
Ibrahimovic played the entire match and hoped it would not aggravate his previous knee injury.
"My knee? I played a lot today, we must hope that tomorrow it won't hurt. Now, I hope the situation is better and I can play continuously."
Finally, Ibra spoke about Mourinho's methodology on the pitch.
"How am I doing under Mourinho? Well, today I enjoyed it, but the important thing was to win," explained the striker who missed two good opportunities in the first half.
Expectedly, Ibrahimovic seemed to be in good spirits due to Inter winning the trophy. Ibra and Inter open their Serie A season next weekend, when they will take on Antonio Cassano’s Sampdoria.
