Everyone Contributes & New Star Excels For Inter Milan In Dream European Night | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi stole the spotlight as Inter Milan put Red Star Belgrade to the sword in Tuesday’s 4-0 Champions League victory.

According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, all players fielded by Simone Inzaghi lived up to expectations.

The Turin paper was perhaps too harsh to Stefan de Vrij, giving him 6/10 for a reckless yellow card in the second half.

Despite an avoidable booking, the Dutch center-back had a field day against Cherif Ndiaye, keeping him in his back pocket all night.

Carlos Augusto picked up an identical rating for his unfathomable miss shortly after Marko Arnautovic made it 2-0.

Perhaps bereft of confidence due to his relatively sparse game time, Augusto fluffed his lines when he should’ve scored.

However, Arnautovic refused to let the same thing happen to him.

Determined to seize a rare chance to start, the Austria captain grabbed his first goal of the season with a clinical finish.

Benjamin Pavard found his feet last night following some unconvincing performances in Serie A, while Yann Sommer got another clean sheet.

It was long coming. Taremi went from strength to strength in Inter’s pre-season.

Unfortunately, injury setbacks have plagued his early contribution in Serie A.

Despite his goal drought in the domestic championship, the Iranian has been impressive in the Inter shirt thus far.

Last night’s showing only reaffirmed his credentials as a top striker.

He was top-notch. Indeed, two assists and a goal rightfully earned him a ‘man of the match’ reward.

Unwilling to be left behind, Lautaro Martinez chipped in with a goal to consolidate his confidence after a shaky start.

But special credit goes to Hakan Calhanoglu.

Becoming the first Inter player to score from a direct free kick in the Champions League in 14 years is no small feat.
