Cagliari 0-2 Inter Milan – Argentine Captain Inspires Nerazzurri As Young Striker Seals Win

The same score went to Nicolò Barella, who rediscovered his energy back in his hometown despite being booed off by the Cagliari crowd.

Esposito matched him with a 7 after netting his first Serie A goal, a strike that effectively sealed the contest.

Federico Dimarco also received praise, with the substitute seen as “lively and decisive” after coming on.

Chivu’s Changes Work, Luis Henrique Criticised

Coach Cristian Chivu was rated positively for his substitutions, especially the introduction of Esposito.

The Romanian celebrated the youngster’s goal passionately on the sidelines as his side earned a third straight win.

Elsewhere, Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Vrij, and Hakan Calhanoglu were rated at 6.5.

A series of “political sixes” went to players such as:

Josep Martinez, Manuel Akanji, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto, Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi.

The lowest grade went to summer signing Luis Henrique, who was handed a 5.

La Gazzetta criticised the winger for appearing “timid and untrained tactically” during his outing.
