DIMARCO'S STUNNER
This goal has already gone down in history and will forever be remembered by every Inter fan. The Inter wideman scored an unbelievable goal to cap off yet another brilliant performance.

Dimarco is having a stunning season: he is one of just two defenders in Europe's Top-5 leagues in the current campaign to have scored at least two goals and provided at least two assists in each of the last four seasons. In addition, our number 32 has had six goal involvements in Serie A this season (two goals and four assists).
