Dimarco earned the highest score of the match with a 7.5, described as the emblem of the Chivu era alongside Zielinski.
The Italian wing-back was docked half a point for a missed goal but remained the game’s defining presence.
“His left foot still makes the difference,” Corriere wrote, via FCInterNews.
Indeed, adding that “his corners now resemble penalties” – high praise for a player who has made set pieces one of Inter’s most dangerous weapons this season.

Zielinski matched Dimarco’s influence from a deeper position, earning a 7 for a display that drew comparisons with Calhanoglu.
Corriere described him as “the beacon of the game, found everywhere, always lucid in his decisions.”
Chivu himself picked up a 7 for winning the game from the bench, with the victory extending Inter’s remarkable run to thirteen wins from their last fourteen league games and a temporary ten-point cushion over AC Milan.
Akanji and Mkhitaryan both scored 7 after their decisive second-half interventions, while Bisseck, Bastoni, Frattesi, Diouf and Esposito all earned 6.5s.
Sommer, Luis Henrique and Bonny received a 6 apiece, with the Brazilian wing-back noted for his constant movement despite lacking precision.
The two blemishes were Sucic, who earned a 5 for “a softness in challenges he simply cannot eliminate,” and Thuram, who received 5.5 after a passive display that repeatedly required Chivu’s intervention from the touchline.
