Indeed, he headed home Hakan Calhanoglu’s cross from the resulting corner kick to put the Nerazzurri in front.

Then, Lautaro Martinez landed a fatal blow on Gian Piero Gasperini’s side in the 87th minute.

“Of course, once we scored, the opposition had to open up in search of an equalizer, but we always managed the match well.

“I always talk about ‘us’ because, in the end, I can’t score alone. No one can.

“It’s the result of the work we all do together.

“We’re a group of friends, a family, and that makes a difference in a packed schedule with games every two days.

“The celebration? It was a dedication to a friend of mine – it was his celebration.”

Moreover, Augusto praised Inter’s overall showing in Bergamo.

“Of course, it’s a big win, but I think this league will be like this until the very last match,” he continued.

“We have to stay focused in every game and perform well because we can’t afford to approach a match poorly.

“Our opponents are right there.

“Every game is different in terms of physical and mental condition.

“But today, it was crucial to perform well. We won, and that was the most important thing.

“We are Inter. Every competition we play, we are there to win. We know it’s difficult, but we’re here to give it our all.”

Asked whether Inter’s team spirit makes the difference, Augusto replied: “Absolutely, that’s what makes the difference.

“We are all here to help Inter win, and that’s what matters most.”
