In today’s paper edition of the newspaper, Turin based Tuttosport focus on Inter captain Mauro Icardi ahead of the Nerazzurri’s clash with Tottenham in the penultimate group stage match in the Champions League tomorrow night at Wembley.
Maurito has played once in England and scored one goal, that was in November of 2016 against Southampton in the Europa League which ended in a 2-1 defeat: “Tomorrow evening, Icardi will make his debut in London with one goal in mind: to snatch at least a draw in order to qualify for the round of 16. So far, this has been Icardi’s first and only Champions League experience in his career, and he has been shining with 3 goals in 4 games.”
“Essentially he has given Inter 5 of the 7 points that they have collected with the last 2 points being brought by Vecino. If Inter are able to progress to the next round contrary to what was initially thought when the Champions League groups were first drawn, a lot of it will be owed to the goals that Icardi has scored and the performances that he’s given. His performances in the Champions League are seen as an opportunity to have all eyes on him, so it is not by chance that he is back in the loop of rumored potential Real Madrid strikers” Tuttosport conclude.
