Pio Esposito didn't score, but he convinced everyone. His debut in the Champions League was excellent, as confirmed by his teammates, who did not fail to highlight his performance.
Plenty of fight, sacrifice, but also intelligent support and freshness, which too often in many games was missing from Inter. In short, Pio can indeed be useful to Chivu.
The black-and-blue coach, who had already had him in Primavera, knows his number 94 well and pushed for him to stay when it seemed in the summer that he might leave on loan to cut his teeth. But what better training ground than the team that has Thuram and Lautaro in its ranks?
In the post-match broadcast on Prime Video, everyone enjoyed watching Pio's interview, which also featured... his brother Sebastiano!
Called live by journalist Alessia Tarquinio, Seba - striker for Cagliari - wanted to jokingly emphasize that he doesn't give compliments. Pio's quick response: "I was talking about the other family members...".
At that point, Sebastiano speaks from the heart, but doesn't hold back from teasing his little brother:
"We are really proud, I got goosebumps because you played a great game. But now it's time to score goals, because if not, with the ones I've scored I'll run away and you won't catch me!".
A beautiful moment, at the end of an evening that the Esposito family will hardly forget.
