Watching Raphinha is so unfair, how does one make long shots like that consistently. Who do we have to sacrifice to the devil to have Ezatollahi do that just once in his career? 🤣🤣
indeed, i can defo tell he is still not 100% and well capable of much more impactful performances, but today Inzaghi played him to his strength in a more withdrawn counter attacking role and tbh he was the main difference maker in how well Inter performed as a team in 2nd half compared to 1st..!
lets face it Inter looked nervyAF, completely ran over in MF & could not hold possession for shit and were reduced to just Aliasghari bezan zieresh,( couple somewhat fortuitous, surprise goals put the hosts in hole early and largely masked over a weak overall 1st half performance of Inter..!!
with Mehdi entering the match in 2nd they finally had a guy who cleverly positioned himself well and closed down passing lanes from CM area especially towards yamal wing which was a biggest issue for inter in 1st half. Provided a steady outlet in middle of the pitch for under pressure D, held the ball up well, combined pretty decent and was damn good in transition play...!!
i think in a couple of more weeks when he hopefully recovers fully from his latest injury set back and gain some confidence back he will become even a bigger force to be reckon with ..!? that is if he doesnt re-aggravate his injury..!!?
Inzaghi had big praise for Taremi specifically at post match conference.
Inzaghi: "I want to congratulate Taremi, he came in very well. If I hadn't recovered Thuram, Taremi would have started. Thuram was exhausted and we went to the end with only one striker. Yamal will obviously be under special observation"
I hope Taremi gets more chances to become the old Taremi who fought for 90 minutes like 2 players, overall i have to say that its unfair to play against Barca lol, they have to be banned from football, i thought after Ronaldo and Messi football is over for years but this Barca has some players who may let us forget about Messi.......thats crazy foootballlllllllllllll
Report as Chelsea hold off Porto to reach their first Champions League semi-final since 2014; Mehdi Taremis brilliant overhead kick causes late scare in Seville; Chelsea will play Real Madrid or Liverpool

That was the Quarterfinals. Mehdi's goal gave Porto the win, but they lost on aggregate to Chelsea (who went on to win the whole tournament).
Looks like some of you are back for our boy! Just enjoy the ride for the time being and don't be too critical. The fact that he played a full 45 minutes says a lot about his role with the team. He may not have scored the goals this season, be he has DEFINITELY contributed to the wins. Lets enjoy this and hope for a trophy.
Lautaro injury needs 10-15 days. He is likely out of the second leg next week. Guys we’re gonna see Taremi starting against Barca in the second leg of a UCL semis. Is this a dream???? I’m hoping our boy doesn’t feature heavily in this weekends Serie A match so he can be fully fit for Tuesday.

They're running on fumes. They're in the run for both, but I think they don't have anything left and they gave their last push in that 1st leg.
Everyone is playing half-injured, just coming off injury, or fully benched.
I actually think he'll start Marko + Thuram for the 2nd leg to get a goal. Once the goal comes in, both will be subbed and Taremi will play as lone forward for defensvie work.
Best time for Mehdi to step up and get some good will. Still has 0 goals from open play in Serie A and CL. Only open goal is from Milan cup loss. He should start using his height advantage on corners as well...he's pretty tall
most of all let's hope barca adapt a similarly highl line and attacking strategy in the return match ... and leave themselves prone to counters ..! or it will be hard for Inter to score from run of play even with a healthy Lauti..!!
i also dont think Mehdi will be afforded too much more than a half of football in that game..? 50/50 weather he'd start or come off the bench..!!?
Taremi was good yesterday. Pretty much mistake-free, good touches, efficient, played with high IQ, and had two switches that were great as a striker. I still wish his teammates would look for him more. I remember one sequence he was lurking in the box, but he got the ball a bit late and couldn’t get the shot off.
They don’t seem to be decisive and quick in getting the ball to him, almost like he’s a last resort for a passing outlet. But overall, I give the team a pass since they played against an elite opponent with only 30% possession. This was Inter’s best game in a long time.
