Against River Plate, the Croatian midfielder demonstrated his skill with impressive plays, while the young striker proved he could be a valuable asset for the Nerazzurri, particularly relevant as the club looks to strengthen its attack…
Inter`s opening goal against River Plate offered a glimpse into the club`s future, originating from two promising youngsters. Midfielder Petar Sucic (number 8) orchestrated the move for striker Pio Esposito (number 70). Sucic`s creative touch found Esposito, who clinically finished past goalkeeper Armani.

Emerging Talents
Inter reaching the Club World Cup round of 16 was thanks in part to two players representing the club`s new generation. Their performance served as a clear statement: “We are here, and we are ready to make our mark at Inter.” Overseeing their development in America is Cristian Chivu, who is focusing on maximizing the potential of these young players. Sucic arrived from Croatia after his team finished second in the league. He is eager for success and keen to establish his own identity, despite comparisons to players like Brozovic, Calhanoglu, and Kovacic, asserting he is simply Petar Sucic. Coming on for Barella with thirty minutes remaining against River Plate, Sucic displayed his quality. His assist for Esposito wasn`t his only notable moment; he also created a prime chance for Mkhitaryan, skillfully evading three defenders in midfield before setting up the Armenian, who shot over. Sucic was involved in 15 touches, completed two dribbles, made several accurate long passes, and earned well-deserved applause.
Pio Esposito`s Future
Pio Esposito has been a subject of much discussion. His clinical striker`s finish – involving a feint followed by a right-footed shot from inside the box – could significantly impact his future with the Nerazzurri. While Inter has secured Bonny as a third attacking option, the club`s management has also shown interest in Hojlund. The Danish striker made a name for himself at Atalanta before having a less impactful second season at Manchester United. In contrast, Esposito finished his season at Spezia with an impressive 19 goals in 40 appearances, including the playoffs. A player with such potential is one Inter should certainly keep.
