As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, yesterday in the derby, the duels won by Inter in midfield were decisive. Henrikh Mkhitaryan won the one against Sandro Tonali. The Armenian was astute, moved and went into contrast. Tonali didn't challenge him well.
Edin Dzeko won the duel with Olivier Giroud: Edin remained offensive and scored the 1-0 goal. For Giroud, only a lot of fighting spirit. Federico Dimarco was very active on the left while Theo Hernandez was the most disappointing of the evening.
The French left-back of AC Milan was not very impactful. Maignan, on the other hand, was his usual self. With two magic saves, he kept Milan afloat. But, will these saves weigh on the return match?
