Player of the match – Nicolo Barella
It was a game where almost every Inter player put in a very similar level of performance. Everyone did their jobs, without doing anything stand out. That being said, Nicolo Barella carried the ball forward excellently for Inter all evening. His decision-making in the final third was poorer than normal but, in the end, his side did enough.
