Inter Beat Lecce 2-0 Despite Bastoni Being Booed

Inter Milan secured a vital 2-0 win over Lecce, but the spotlight was firmly on Alessandro Bastoni, who endured relentless booing from the home fans.

Mkhitaryan came off the bench to score the decisive goal in the 75th minute. Bastoni has faced heavy scrutiny recently, including after a diving incident against Juventus that led to Pierre Kalulu's red card and death threats.

Despite the hostile reception, the defender kept his composure and helped Inter secure the three points. Meanwhile, Stefan de Vrij was handed the captain's armband by Cristian Chivu, though the decision is unrelated to Bastoni's current situation.
