Video: Thuram forces Barella smile after goal against hometown club

Match Overview

Inter’s 3-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday marked their second consecutive victory in Serie A, with Nicolò Barella scoring the opening goal in the 25th minute. The victory saw Inter climb to 5th in the Serie A table, while Cagliari remain rooted to the bottom with 8 points from 12 games. The match was played at the Unipol Domus in Udine, with Inter’s away form having been a major talking point this season.

Tactical Breakdown

Inter’s victory was built on a solid defensive display, with Stefan de Vrij marshalling the backline and Alessandro Bastoni providing width with his runs down the left flank. Inter’s midfield trio of Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo’ Gagliardini controlled the tempo of the game, with Barella’s goal coming from a well-worked move that saw him receive a pass from Calhanoglu before slotting past the Cagliari goalkeeper.

Cagliari, on the other hand, struggled to create chances against Inter’s well-organised defence. The Sardinian side’s attack was largely reliant on the pace of Pedro Pereira, but even the Portuguese winger’s best efforts were thwarted by Inter’s solid defensive unit.

Key Moments

• 25th minute: Nicolò Barella opens the scoring for Inter with a well-placed finish after receiving a pass from Hakan Calhanoglu.
• 35th minute: Inter’s Aleksandar Kolarov is sent off for a second bookable offence, but the hosts manage to hold on to their lead.
• 65th minute: Inter’s Romelu Lukaku doubles the lead with a clinical finish, before Lautaro Martinez seals the win with a late strike.

Player Spotlight

Nicolò Barella’s goal was a highlight of the match, but it was his restraint in not celebrating the goal that caught the attention of the fans. The Inter midfielder, who has a history of scoring against his hometown club, refused to celebrate the goal, instead opting to smile and shake hands with his Cagliari counterpart, Jean-Philippe Mateta’s replacement, Joao Pedro’s fellow Sardinian teammate, Mattia Destro’s replacement, Gabriele Zappa’s replacement, and Cagliari’s new signing, but not the Cagliari player who replaced Gabriele
