— Aug 5th 2020First start in European football for the defender, who was among the best on the pitch
GELSENKIRCHEN - It was a first start in European football, and he marked it with a splendid performance. Alessandro Bastoni played one of his best games in an Inter shirt. It was the No. 95's first ever career assist, as he found Lukaku with a long ball for Inter's first. It was a match rich in good moments for the young man: other than the assist, he made a vital intervention with the game still at 0-0 and his ball forward began the move for the second goal. In a post-match press conference, the defender spoke about the emotions he felt during the game: "It was my first start in Europe but I didn't feel any pressure, because I have a great group of players and staff behind me. The coach has given me faith in my ability. He always wants us to be determined on the pitch, we have a few concepts that we've been able to display."
