Italian media generally rated Mkhitaryan’s performance positively.

Leggo (6): “His dynamism is impressive. He is always ready to serve the team. Also strong in defence and interceptions.”

L’Interista (6): “Sometimes inaccurate, sometimes rushed, but always extremely useful. Okoye had to save the team after his left-footed shot.”

Passione Inter (6.5): “Precise and dynamic. He was very close to making it 0–2, but Okoye stopped him.”

After this win, Inter continue to confidently lead the Serie A standings, six points clear of AC Milan. The Rossoneri will play their Round 21 match tomorrow against Lecce.
