Starting with Inter in the absence of Marcus Thuram, Sunday in Lecce, Alexis Sanchez was decisive for the first time this season in Serie A, with an assist for Davide Frattesi.
Here’s Alexis Sanchez again! If it was Marko Arnautovic who replaced Marcus Thuram on Tuesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Atlético (1-0), the Chilean striker also took advantage of the French international’s adductor injury (who will be absent for two weeks). The former OM player started with Inter on Sunday at Lecce for a 4-0 victory.
Lautaro Martinez was again phenomenal for the Nerazzurri, the 2022 world champion opening the scoring in the first period with great power (15th), before scoring the third on a cross from Davide Frattesi before the hour mark (56th), to score 22 goals in Serie A alone!
Pavard on the bench
Just before that, Alexis Sanchez offered Frattesi the second goal with a cross from the right (54th). This will do the 35-year-old a lot of good. “El Niño Maravilla” had not yet been decisive in Serie A in 11 appearances, having only scored two goals in seven Champions League matches this season.
Stefan de Vrij concluded this new demonstration from the calcio leader (68th). Note that Benjamin Pavard was spared and did not come into play during this trip to Lecce. With this seventh victory in a row in Serie A, Simone Inzaghi’s team is still nine points behind Juventus, before a new championship match against Atalanta on Wednesday.
