How Italian Media Rated Henrikh Mkhitaryan's Performance:
Eurosport (6.5): He set the right intensity in midfield, especially in the first half when Inter started the match with the right mindset. Later, he slightly slowed down but only after securing a comfortable lead. Overall, an important performance for his team.
Passione Inter (6.5): He played a key role in several dangerous attacks with his precise passing, particularly in the play that led to a pass for Dumfries, which earned applause from San Siro. His overall performance was strong, redeeming himself after a few underwhelming matches. He nearly scored with a couple of difficult shots.
90min (7): He was everywhere—from his own penalty area, where he recovered balls, to the opponent's box, where he created dangerous chances.
Calciomercato (6.5): Finally, a convincing performance after a period where he seemed to struggle physically.
FC Inter News (7): Perhaps Feyenoord’s weak midfield contributed, but in this match, the Armenian moved twice as fast without the ball and 1.5 times faster with the ball compared to previous games this season. He made minimal mistakes or none at all. A promising sign after some poor performances and, most notably, after Zieliński’s long-term injury.
