Hakan Çalhanoğlu is a wonderful passer, it’s no longer a secret. But some of his masterpieces remain absolutely fantastic. This Sunday, during the highly anticipated duel between Inter Milan and Juventus, the Turk delivered a new caviar by completing a marvelous pass from almost 50 meters with the outside of his foot. And even if it did not end in a goal, Marcus Thuram being beaten by Brazilian defender Bremer, this action is making the rounds on social networks.
Because to succeed, you need insolent talent, but also a great eye. Placed just in front of his defense, the former Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan player found a small gap on the right of the Turin defense, into which Federico Dimarco had rushed. A quarter of a second later, the Italian left-back had the ball at his feet, and was able to send a cross to Marcus Thuram. In one pass, eight players were eliminated. Fantastic.
Even if this action did not result in a goal, Inter Milan still won against Juventus. A precious victory for the Milanese, who could lose their first place in the event of defeat against their runner-up. It was an own goal from Federico Gatti in the 37th minute which allowed the Interists to open the scoring. Juventus’ inaccuracy did not allow them to come back to score.
The Turinese, however, retain their second place in Serie A, four points ahead of AC Milan. In fourth position, Atalanta is currently clinging to qualification for the Champions League.
