In Inter Milan’s dominant victory over Sassuolo Calcio, a German international player was among those successful.
Inter Milan continues to maintain its high pace at the top of Serie A. Thanks to a goal from German international Yann-Aurel Bisseck, the Champions League finalist won 5:0 (2:0) against Sassuolo Calcio and extended their lead over rivals AC Milan to a provisional eight points.
The city rival was not in action on the 24th matchday because the duel with Como 1907 was postponed to February 18 due to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in San Siro.
