The match began unfavorably for Inter, with Monza's Samuele Birindelli and Keita Baldé each finding the net, placing the visitors ahead by two goals. However, just before halftime, Marko Arnautovic reignited Inter's hopes by scoring a crucial goal. The momentum continued in the second half as Hakan Çalhanoğlu delivered a powerful strike to equalize. The comeback was completed when Monza's Kyriakopoulos inadvertently scored an own goal, sealing the win for Inter.
This victory not only reinforces Inter's position at the top of the Serie A standings but also fuels discussions about a potential treble this season. The team remains active in the Champions League, having secured a 2-0 advantage over Feyenoord in the first leg of their last-16 tie, and is set to face AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Players and staff are maintaining a focused approach. Çalhanoğlu emphasized the importance of taking the season step by step, while Arnautovic, recalling his treble success with Inter in 2010, expressed enthusiasm about the team's current trajectory. Defender Yann Bisseck also highlighted the squad's optimism, underscoring the necessity of concentration across all competitions.
Inter's lead in Serie A currently stands at four points, though Napoli has the opportunity to narrow this gap in their upcoming match against Fiorentina.
