INTER-MILAN 2-3
(45’+1 Lautaro, 49′ Taremi; 53′ Theo, 80′ Pulisic, 90’+4 Abraham)
Summer 5 – He has great responsibility for the goal that reopens the match. He redeems himself with a couple of decisive saves, but that mistake weighs heavily.
Bisseck 4.5 – All was well until Leao entered: the Portuguese entered on his scooter and from then on the German no longer understood anything.
De Vrij 6.5 – Taremi’s goal was born from his relaunch, giving Inter the illusion of a downward path towards success. Few frills and no real problems with Morata. (From 85′ Darmian 5- Leao strips him at 3-2).
Sticks 5 – He sacrifices himself on Reijnders’ surefire shot: it would have been a difficult one-two to manage. He also goes crazy with the entry of Leao and loses Pulisic on the equalizing goal.
Dumfries 5.5 – Fresh from the brace against Atalanta, he lost the eternal duel with Theo, who in the final skidded away to provide the assist for the equalizer. Taremi does not collect an assist.
Stretcher 5.5 – Sombreros, closures, through balls for his teammates: the start is sumptuous, the only one truly worthy of a final on the pitch. Leao’s entrance makes him nervous and he leaves the evening. (From 85′ Frattesi 5 – He was also very bad about Abraham’s goal).
Calhanoglu 6 – Thirty-three touches of the ball: one per minute, without brightening up Riyadh’s evening. Then he says goodbye to the derby early. (From 34′ Asllani 5 – Orderly, without peaks, until he goes crazy like everyone else. A step backwards compared to Turkish: it’s nothing new).
Mkhitaryan 5.5 – He takes part in the action of Lautaro’s goal at the end of the first half, he has on his conscience the foul on Leao which led to the free kick that made it 2-1 for the Rossoneri and therefore the subsequent comeback. (From 66′ Zielinski 5.5 – It doesn’t sting and doesn’t help his teammates keep the double advantage).
Dimarco 6 – With his left foot he gives everyone chills: to his fans for a couple of back passes made with condescension, to Maignan for a great shot from outside. (From the 67th minute Carlos Augusto 5 – He comes close to scoring, but suffers from Pulisic, who goes on to score).
Taremi 6 – Third as a starter alongside the Bullhe broke the deadlock at the start of the second half by escaping the Rossoneri offside line: it was his second goal in over 900 minutes. Missing the appointment with an encore on a more than tempting assist from Dumfries from the right: it weighs.
Lautaro 6 – A goal from Bull: control, defense of the ball, poisonous shot. He persists in the search for the second, after having imperceptibly but decisively deflected Theo’s punishment.
Simone Inzaghi 5.5 – His Inter holds up (well) for an hour and then melts at the first sun in Milan. There are some reflections to be made about the defence, not his own: Acerbi has been missing for a long time and the blanket is short.
