Inter Milan signed Nicola Zalewski on loan from Roma toward the end of the January transfer window to address a wingback deficiency.

The 23-year-old painted his Nerazzurri debut in Sunday’s mouth-watering Milan derby with flying colors.

Introduced in the 76th minute by Simone Inzaghi, Zalewski provided a crucial assist to Stefan de Vrij.

Zalewski’s calmness inspired Inter to a stoppage-time equalizer, sparing Inzaghi’s further blushes after a Supercoppa Italiana fiasco.

Inter now took to X, showing the newcomer in the club’s trophy cabinet while saying: “First glances, first Nerazzurri smiles.”
