Dimarco delivered his 15th assist of the season, just one short of the all-time record, while wearing the captain's armband. Mkhitaryan's goal was described as "the Armenian's roar that launches Inter towards the escape" by Tuttosport.
The match exposed flaws in Inter's attack without their Argentine star, as several players received lower ratings. Only Mkhitaryan, Dimarco and Chivu earned a 7 from Tuttosport, while Thuram, Bonny, Sucic, De Vrij and Diouf all scored below 6.
