Dimarco delivered another outstanding performance, registering his 15th assist of the season and wearing the captain's armband. Mkhitaryan's goal proved decisive as the Armenian international helped Inter grind out a necessary victory. Tuttosport rated both players highly, with Dimarco described as "the image of the Nerazzurri right now" and Mkhitaryan's goal "the Armenian's roar that launches Inter towards the escape."
The match exposed some attacking vulnerabilities in Lautaro Martinez's absence, with several players receiving mediocre ratings. While Mkhitaryan, Dimarco and Chivu earned top marks of 7, Thuram, Bonny and Sucic all received 5.5 for inconsistent performances. The overall picture suggests Inter still lacks the attacking reliability needed to win games comfortably without their Argentine star.
