In Round 22 of Serie A, Inter produced a true football miracle, crushing Pisa 6–2 despite a shocking start to the match. By the 23rd minute, the Nerazzurri were already trailing 0–2 after a brace from Stefano Moreo, but not only managed to equalise — they put on a spectacular goal show in the second half.
Six different scorers symbolised Inter’s collective strength: Zieliński (penalty), Lautaro Martínez, Pio Esposito, Federico Dimarco, Yann Ange Bonny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Special attention goes to Mkhitaryan, who started the match and played the full 90 minutes. In the 93rd minute, the Armenian midfielder scored his first goal of the season — just two days after celebrating his 37th birthday.
It was not only an emotional moment, but also a logical conclusion to a solid performance.
