Attacker Sánchez got a player rating of 8.31 in the game. "Man of the match" Sánchez scored one goal and hit five key passes.

A loss against Milan was the result prior to that, in a Serie A home game.

After this away game Inter return home for a Champions League game against Liverpool. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Inter have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 24 goals from 11 away matches. It's not easy to score on Inter as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
