Inter-Benfica testimonials
Inter started slowly, then dominated Benfica undisputedly, but made a lot of mistakes: in the end, however, they got three points thanks to a goal from Thuram, who became more and more the protagonist. READ the match report HERE
Summer: 6.5
He puts out his big hand to block Aursnes’ shot and trains his reflexes on Bernat (who was also offside). He does what he has to do, he instills confidence in his teammates.
Pavard: 7
Benji, the Inter player, brings fans to their feet with the way he elegantly but relentlessly pounces on his opponents. Also precise in the setting. An added value.
Immature: 6
Just a careless throw-in that sends Aursnes flying towards the goal. It could have been expensive. He then takes over the chairmanship and leads the management as a professor.
Sticks: 6.5
The air of San Siro is good for him. After the mistake in San Sebastian, he found composure and when necessary, he was not afraid to resort to strong methods.
Dumfries: 7
He is in a moment of excessive physical strength. Sgasa is on the wing of competence, almost approaches a double hit, but is not very precise, finds his target again and provides Thuram with the decisive assist. A tractor.
Wear: 6.5
He drives Inter with his energy. For the Nerazzurri it was the first real shot on goal, for Dumfries it was the catalyst that led to the goal. Always helpful.
Calhanoglu: 7
Di Maria’s gliding recovery despite being offside photographs his game. Indispensable in both phases, a real leader.
Mkhitaryan: 7
A few too many mistakes at the beginning, then it reappears in its sparkling version. It rises like a tide, slowly and yet unstoppably. Valuable.
Dimarco: 6.5
He has a delicate task: managing Di Maria. It ends up making him feel old. And in the second half he turned into an additional attacker.
Lautaro Martinez: 7
How many goals could he score? A crossbar, a post, three miracles from Trubin and one from Otamendi. Not very cynical, but also very unfortunate. He is a constant threat, always dangerous.
Thuram: 7.5
Lukaku who? First the derby, now the Champions League evening with Benfica. Ice cold in the three-point shot, and then he finishes, invents, presses. San Siro holds his breath as he stops, lying at his feet. Demonic.
Sanchez: 6
When he loses a bad ball, he makes up for it by hitting himself like a damn man.
Darmian: 6
Enter with the right face. A warranty.
Inzaghi: 7
It’s impressive how his Inter change tempo in the first twenty minutes of the second half. He puts Benfica under pressure, controls the game, the substitutions and the result. He never makes mistakes in these games.
