Inter - AS Roma 5:2

Inter Milan emphatically ended their winless run with a stunning 5–2 victory over AS Roma at the iconic San Siro.

After a disappointing March that raised questions about their consistency, the Nerazzurri responded in devastating fashion, dismantling their rivals with attacking precision and renewed confidence.

The standout performers were Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. Returning from injury, the Argentine striker marked his comeback with a clinical brace, while the French forward delivered a complete performance — scoring once and providing two assists for Lautaro Martinez, earning Man of the Match honours.

One of the defining moments of the night came from Hakan Calhanoglu, whose spectacular long-range strike broke the deadlock when the game was still finely poised, shifting momentum firmly in Inter Milan's favour.

The result sees Inter Milan extend their lead at the top of the Serie A table to nine points, strengthening their grip on the Scudetto race as the season heads into its final weeks.
