Inter Milan Vs Empoli: Inter Milan's left wing-back Federico Dimarco scored a stunning half-volley against Empoli to open the scoring in the Serie A fixture on Tuesday, April 2. The Italian drew the first blood within the first 6 minutes of the match by meeting a cross from Alessandro Bastoni and finishing it neatly first time into the bottom left corner of the net. The league leaders went on to win the match 2-0, and now extend their lead over second-placed AC Milan by 14 points in the points table.
Simone Inzaghi's men have all but secured the Scudetto in what has been a memorable season for Inter Milan, but it could've been extremely special, had they made their way into the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League. The side ended up being runners up in last year's edition and much was expected from Inter this time around, but were shockingly ousted by a spirited Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16.
Alexis Sanchez Returns To His Goalscoring Form Late In The Season
Inter Milan forward Alexis Sanchez has returned to his goalscoring form late in the season, as the Chilean has scored only his second Serie A goal of the season. However, the two goals he has managed have come in the past one month and seeing the veteran back with goals will delight the manager as the bulk of goalscoring has been done by club captain and Argentinian striker, Lautaro Martinez.
The two-time Copa America winner has seen a massive downfall in his career ever since his move to Manchester United from Arsenal in 2018. Once regarded as the best player in the Premier League, Alexis Sanchez was a legend at Arsenal, and an unforgettable baller for former side FC Barcelona. However, since 2018, Alexis Sanchez has not managed even a 15-goal season and except for the 2022-23 season with Marseille, the 35-year old has not even managed doubles figures in terms of goals.
