Inter Milan midfielder Hernanes has described his debut for the club as an "emotional experience".

The Nerazzurri claimed a 1-0 win against Sassuolo this weekend in the Brazilian's first match since his arrival from Lazio at the end of last month.

"It was an emotional experience to play at San Siro," he told the club's official website.

"The pitch was in excellent condition. It's a bit faster than the Olimpico because the grass is a bit shorter. The stadium is magnificent, as always – the best I've played in. It will always be a pleasure to play here.

"What's Inter like on the inside? Fantastic. I've been welcomed really well by everyone. The people who work here are all really nice folk, so I'm even happier with my decision to join."

Inter are currently fifth in the Serie A table.
