"Christian Pulisic got the only goal early in the second half, tucking in a rebound after Yann Sommer had parried an Alexis Saelemaekers shot. The Rossoneri had Mike Maignan to thank after Strahinja Pavlovic conceded a penalty for a foul on Marcus Thuram. Hakan Calhanoglu took on the responsibility, but he failed to convert from 12 yards as the Frenchman went the right way."
"Because we want a lot of possession, it's true that when we lose the ball, we become vulnerable on the counter-attack. I'd say Milan and Real Madrid are the most dangerous teams on the counter in Europe. I know that we lost, but I think we are on the right track. We have faith in the coach and this project, so one defeat cannot make us change our minds on that. There are always things to improve, but we cannot throw everything away either."
Inter suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Milan at San Siro, their fourth derby loss in six meetings. Christian Pulisic scored early in the second half by converting a rebound after Yann Sommer parried an Alexis Saelemaekers shot. Mike Maignan also prevented further damage by saving a penalty after Strahinja Pavlovic fouled Marcus Thuram; Hakan Calhanoglu missed the spot-kick. Post-match reflections included an admission of a missed header opportunity, recognition of recurring struggles against top teams, concern over vulnerability on the counter-attack due to possession play, and continued confidence in the coach and project despite the defeat.
