Nerazzurri Juggernaut Rolls On

The narrative surrounding the Inter Milan vs Sassuolo fixture has often been one of trepidation for the Nerazzurri. Sassuolo, historically known as a “bogey team” for the Milan giants, entered this Matchday 24 clash with promises to disrupt the league leaders. However, those threats evaporated within minutes at the Mapei Stadium.

Cristian Chivu’s side delivered a performance of ruthless efficiency, sweeping the hosts aside with a 5-0 victory. As reported by Nova Sports News, there was no struggle or anxiety, only a dominant procession led by the wand-like left foot of Federico Dimarco.

Dimarco Orchestrates the Symphony

From the opening whistle, Inter Milan looked imperious. The deadlock was broken in the 11th minute through a familiar route:

  • Opener: Dimarco’s corner delivery was pinpoint, finding Yann Bisseck rising high in the box. The German defender’s header was unstoppable, showcasing the physical dominance that has made him an undroppable asset this season.
  • Counter: Just as Sassuolo attempted to gain a foothold, Inter struck again. Dimarco delivered a first-time ball to Marcus Thuram without breaking stride. The Frenchman made no mistake, doubling the lead before halftime.
  • Rout: The onslaught continued after the break. Lautaro Martinez pounced on a loose ball to sweep home the third, before Dimarco completed his hat-trick of assists by finding Manuel Akanji from another corner.

Frustration boiled over for Sassuolo when veteran Nemanja Matic was sent off for dissent, leaving his team to suffer a late fifth goal via a defensive error.

Chivu’s Quiet Confidence

This victory sends a terrifying message to the rest of Serie A. While rivals AC Milan rely on their “French core,” Inter’s collective machine under Chivu looks unstoppable.

The manager remained calm post-match, insisting the season is not over, but the gap at the top suggests otherwise.

This Inter Milan vs Sassuolo demolition job has paved the way for a confident march toward the Scudetto.
