Inter Milan 2-0 Borussia Dortmund: Five men who were impressive for the Nerazurri | Champions League 2019/20

#3 Antonio Candreva

FC Internazionale v Borussia Dortmund: Group F - UEFA Champions League

The Italian has been converted into a wingback by Antonio Conte and he has looked quite comfortable in the new role this season. Antonio Candreva was tireless against Dortmund, running down the flanks all through the game and combining well with his attackers to pile the pressure on the away side. The Italian also carried a goal threat, attempting three shots on the night, one of which was on target.

Candreva registered 57 touches on the ball and was a bit wayward with his passing, registering a 69% passing accuracy. This was mainly because he attempted more forward passes and tried to carve out chances for his team. His moment arrived in the 89th minute of the game, right after Martinez had missed the penalty.

Inter Milan was under a bit of pressure from Dortmund, who threatened to score. However, Candreva continued to be adventurous and his forward running paid off as Brozovic sent him through on goal. The Italian showed great finishing abilities to double his team’s lead.
