– SOMMER 6: a subdued year for the Swiss goalkeeper. Almost never decisive, often (as in the first leg derby or with Juve in Turin) it was the weak point in Chivu’s team. Experience wasn’t enough, he was far from the peaks reached in previous seasons.
– MARTINEZ 6: it seemed like the right year to become a starter between the posts, after a good start this wasn’t the case, thanks to what happened off the pitch, the fatal collision of an elderly man while he was driving to training. When he was called into question he always responded to be present.
– DE VRIJ 6: few appearances, but always solid. Not surprisingly, the chances of renewal have increased.
– ACERBI 6: more often than not he got away with his experience and quality in marking.
– STICKS 6.5: a year far from the standards he was accustomed to. And at the end of the championship the psychological aspect paid the price, after the chaos following the simulation that led to Kalulu’s expulsion in the big match against Juventus.
– AKANJI 7.5: immediately fundamental for the technical qualities but also for the athletic qualities, decisive for the idea of raising the defensive line. Also putting our heads into the offensive zone for a couple of important goals.
– BISSECK 7: after last season’s mistakes, he turned into the new starter with high-level performances and also with some heavy goals.
– DUMFRIES 7: I start a little in slow motion, especially compared to the overflowing version of the previous season. Then the ankle problem in November and the operation, which kept him out until March. And when he returned, you could see the difference: the two very heavy goals against Como prove it.
– LUIS HENRIQUE 6: shy start, it was never sparkling. Having become a regular starter, thanks to the stop in Dumfries, Inter went on a streak of 14 wins out of 16, despite a few too many errors.
– DIMARCO 8.5: the season of definitive consecration. The numbers speak for him: never so many assists for a player in the recent Serie A, never so many goal participations in a single championship. Even when his physical form dropped, with his left foot he was a fundamental weapon for Chivu’s football.
– CARLOS AUGUSTO 6.5: sometimes outside on the left, sometimes outside on the right, sometimes arm. Vice-Dimarco, vice-Bastoni and this year also, if necessary, vice-Dumfries: the classic Swiss army knife, useful in every position.
– BARELLA 7: the average between 6 for the first part of the season and 8 for the final rush, in which he dressed as a leader to drag Inter towards the finish line. He always distributed assists during the year, but with subpar performances and errors that were not like him. Having overcome the disappointment of the elimination against Italy, however, the real Barella was seen again in the final.
– CALHANOGLU 8: he already seemed to have his suitcase in hand, also due to a relationship with the locker room that seemed to have come to an end. Instead he was extremely decisive despite playing less than usual due to physical problems. Relentless in the offensive zone with goals and assists, in many games he was also the emotional leader on the pitch.
– ZIELINSKI 7.5: midfielder or director, it doesn’t matter, because this year the Pole has shown the quality for which he was purchased. The decisive goal in the Italian derby against Juventus is the icing on the cake, because it was fundamental, especially in the absence of Calhanoglu. – MKHITARYAN 6: a bit like Acerbi, he used experience when it was needed. And he celebrated with the second goal in the championship match
– SUCIC 6.5: fluctuating as only a young player from abroad can be, but he still showed flashes of the highest quality, such as the consistency with which he scored at the beginning of the season against Fiorentina.
– FRATTESI 6: a season marked by physical problems, which limited both his use and usefulness in terms of contribution for Inter to a minimum. – DIOUF 6: long a mysterious object of the summer signing campaign, the Frenchman was only seen in several clips, in which he showed discreet things.
– THURAM 7.5: starts well but then doesn’t show up for a long time, remains without scoring for over two months, when Lautaro Martinez is absent he is unable to make a difference. Then, all of a sudden, he remembers that he is a bomber: heavy goals especially in Como, and the one that unlocks the championship match with Parma.
– LAUTARO MARTINEZ 8.5: true captain, example on and off the pitch. He never holds back, even when things have to be said publicly like in the summer after the Club World Cup. And he brings the usual contribution of goals, no small feat in a championship where the strikers seem to have disappeared.
– BONNY 7: like Sucic, his young age pays off for his high levels. The start is excellent (three goals in the first seven) and excellent performances both as a substitute and as a starter. Then a little is lost, but the numerical contribution remains excellent.
– PIO ESPOSITO 7.5: he scores all his firsts, from the first goal with Inter to the first goal in a big match, against Juventus. And then in the end, when the ball is hot, he is the one who scores in complicated matches.
