The rest of the starting XI delivered solid or strong performances, via FCInterNews.

At the top of the ratings was Lautaro Martinez.

Inter’s captain earned a 7.5 after scoring the decisive goal.

Tuttosport praised his sharp dribble and composed finish into the corner, noting how he quickly made amends for an early miss and drove the team forward.

Another standout was Manuel Akanji, who received a 7.

The Swiss defender neutralised Davis, read danger early, and even dropped in front of the defence when required.

Tuttosport highlighted his growing importance to the team’s balance.

Francesco Pio Esposito also impressed with a 7.

He registered his fourth assist for Lautaro this season and offered constant physical presence. His hold-up play and distribution again proved valuable, even without a goal.

By contrast, Nicolò Barella struggled to impose himself. Rated 5.5, Tuttosport criticised his slow tempo and a costly loss of possession inside the box.

Bonny fared worse, earning a 5 after failing to give Inter an attacking outlet.

Overall, Inter Milan secured the points through their leaders, even if not everyone hit top form.
