Distincly limited player but the guy certainly can head the ball.

Inter fans must be livid considering and will feel Sevilla should have been down to 10 men since the 4th minute.


2 other defenders were in the box?

Whether or not Carlos denied a clean goal scoring opportunity is open for interpretation.

What's less debatable is the cynical nature and nastiness of the foul itself. A stretched leg kick from behind above knee height with his studs showing. Solely designed to take out the player and, ideally, injure him in the process.

You can re-watch the foul here -



Anyway, not going to dwell too much on this incident. It's unlikely we would have witnessed the spectacle we have had Sevilla gone down to 10 men.

So at HT, Banega held his hair making fun of Conte's hair. Conte told him he'd be waiting for Banega after the match.

What a freak goal.

The guy who probably shouldn't be on the field attempts a bicycle kick (which is bound to go wide) but instead richochets off of Lukaku into the back of the net.

This nonsense of screaming out loud when anyone clips you is so annoying.

Still fancy Inter. They've got the quality to get another goal.

Inter have no quality coming out of defence. Highlights the importance of having defenders that can bring the ball forward.
