welcome, Marco! That was quite a game. Walking us through the Inter side,did you see this upset coming?
Marco: “Thank you! No,to be honest,I didn’t. Inter started strong. Lautaro’s early goal seemed to set the tone, and Taremi’s second seemed to seal the deal. They were playing their typical aggressive, attacking football, exactly what Simone Inzaghi preaches.”
They were indeed looking dominant for a good portion of the match. What do you think shifted the momentum in Milan’s favour?
Marco: “Well,you have to give credit where credit is due. milan never gave up. Theo Hernandez’s goal sparked something in them, and suddenly, you could see the belief returning. Pulisic’s equalizer was well-deserved; they were pressing higher, creating chances.”

Looking ahead, what does this result mean for both teams?
Marco: “This win is a huge morale booster for Milan. It shows they can battle back from adversity, and it injects confidence into their season. For Inter, it’s a wake-up call.
