Inter, what a show! brilliant Thuram and Barella, four goals against Atalanta!

A relentless, unstoppable Inter crushed Atalanta 4-0. A spectacular night at San Siro, illuminated by Marcus Thuram's brace and Nicolò Barella's stunning goal. The Nerazzurri’s start was devastating, racing into a 2-0 lead, the result of constant pressure on the visitors' defence.

The match was opened by Djimsiti’s own goal in the fourth minute, set up by a cross from Thuram following a brilliant play initiated by Pavard's backheel and finished by Mkhitaryan. After a great save by Carnesecchi on a Calhanoglu free-kick, Inter doubled their lead. Pavard's header assist set up Barella, who volleyed from the edge of the area. A magnificent strike that nestled into the net, making San Siro erupt.

The match was one-sided, with Atalanta only coming close to scoring once. Sommer made a save, and Retegui missed the rebound. Thuram was unstoppable, hitting the post in the first half, and then sealing the game with two almost identical goals after the break.

The French striker scored early in the second half with a volleyed right-footed shot, and then doubled his tally in the 56th minute with a similar move, arriving first to the ball after a scramble in the area.

The 4-0 scoreline concludes this early-season trilogy before the international break. With 7 points, Inter will return to action against Monza on the weekend of 14-15 September.
