Like all of Inter Milan and its fans, Benjamin Pavard is on cloud nine after the derby won against Milan (1-2) which offered the Italian champion title to the Nerazzurri. He did not fail to upset a compatriot (and friend) of the Rossoneri.
It’s a very beautiful story of love that Benjamin Pavard lives at Inter Milan. Recruited for 30 million euros last August, the former Bayern player has become essential as the right center of Simone Inzaghi’s three-way defense. The 2018 world champion excelled in his role, defending with full of rage and bringing into the game by regularly projecting himself into the opposing camp.
If Marcus Thuram scored the second home goal on Monday evening, Pavard was also decisive in the Madonnina Derby won against AC Milan (1-2) which turned into the title match on Monday evening in a Giuseppe -Meazza in delirium. With a 17-point lead with five games remaining, the Nerazzurri offer the club the 20th scudetto and a second star on the coat of arms (one star for a decade of titles).
Theo Hernandez dominated
Pavard indeed deflected the ball from a corner at the near post on Francesco Acerbi’s opener (18th). The 28-year-old defender gained the upper hand in the air over Théo Hernandez and rightly knocked down his teammate from the French team (and friend) in a story on Instagram, with a photo of the duel and two smiley gifts. Pavard also made two huge comebacks on Rafael Leao (45th+1) and Noah Okafor (90th+5).
“The second star. In the derby. Point. Basta », wrote the Northerner on a publication with photos of the festivities. Benjamin Pavard offers himself a 13th club title, after a Bundesliga 2 with Stuttgart, four Bundesliga with Bayern, the 2020 Champions League, a Club World Cup, a Pokal, a German Super Cup and a German Super Cup. Europe, before an Italian Super Cup and therefore a Serie A since his arrival at Inter.
