What a performance, and the goal...wow. The leap, the lay off. Sublime and world class.
Form temporary, class permanent.
Commiserations to his haters here, I know it will be difficult to swallow. inshallah az hesadat namirin
no need to dramatize things as usual!
tabehal toole sal koja bodi?
he had a decent game but again we Iranian exaggerate on it as usual!
No one in this board hates our players otherwise you should be either bikar or sick to post here but few including myself face the reality! He had overall a terrible year!
he was bad the whole year! Lets hope he wins CL and contributes in final!
Bro delivered the assist to the game winner on a soft down-filled pillow. Frattesi couldnt' believe his fricking eyes it was so neatly placed. Frattesi actually hesitated in taking the shot he was so shocked at how perfect it was. Meanwhile Mehdi is just sitting back watching, knowing he gave him the game-winner. What a class act. What a clutch player. He has delivered over and over for every coach who has placed his trust in him. Really proud of him tonight. Can't wait to see him next month in the Club World Cup (I'll be at the Urawa match in Seattle)!!!!

شرمنده شما استاد بزرگوار…درگیر کار و زندگی و دکترا بودیم و هستیم.
no arguments on him having terrible year. But there are contributing factors. I think in terms of quality he has shown in the cL games (city, Arsenal, other group games, now Barca) he is at the level required.
i hope these last 2 matches, the final, and final few in league are enough to convince inzaghi to give him another chance next season.

Am i the only one who found the assist not that special?
i mean, what other option he had? Lol
he had Frattesi over there waiting for ball! Anything else would have been disaster!

it was more about the whole sequence. Just showed he has a very good sense of space. His pass was indeed simple but it took 4 Barca defenders to the wrong direction.
What I really liked from him was all the times he killed the Barca play making by winning the ball though grit and tenacity.
he was out of form but his CL pedigree confirms that he can indeed contribute at this level. What he actually lacks is not much on technical/physical side to be in lauta/thuram bracket but on mental side. Those guys miss chances and dont give 2 shits. Taremi in his bad form streak that legitimately lasted a few months (not talking about in front of goal, but rather as you reference when his overall game went out the window) looked like he was still thinking about missed chances from weeks prior. Now this never happened to him in porto, but pressure at inter is not comparable. For younger guys it would typically take a season at least to adjust sometimes and that would be fine. Issue for him is his age comes with an expectation that mentally/emotionally he would be sound. When you talk about correa/arna starts the reason is not bc they are rated more (as we see tonight - both rooted to bench) the reason was rather taremi head was gone. Inzaghi wants to use him and clearly rates him (just listen to pressers) but as you say he made that impossible for several weeks bc of how timid he was playing.
But he has definitely turned the corner, And all confidence related, as we can see. The barca performance in 1st leg brought him back to life.
And now he has a chance to make history and redeem his whole season.
The mental component is so huge. Literally teh day before the game, a woman who I think had been threatening him with harassment claims released a bunch of videos and info. Yet Thuram showed up and played half injured - made tons of mistakes, and no one says anything.
Now that we qualified to the world cup, their next excuse is that we "need to win to keep our fifa ranking and stay pot 2" even though we would need to drop like 6 places to lose it.
Taremi and Azmoun will start every game till WC, and we will call our youth who have less than 5 min in TM shit as usual
This CL encounter will be a forever semifinal classic and Mehdi provided the game winning assist against Barcelona in overtime and had Yamal in his pocket.
Our kids and grandkids will be watching these highlights in the future to see one of the best CL semifinals ever and the cream on top of that, a IRANIAN that contributed all the above written.
Just like some of us still watching Mahdavikias performance against Juventus in the classic 4-4 game whit Hamburg.
Thank you for the everlasting iranian mark in CL history Mehdi during these dark times in our country.
whatta a fkn fantastic game/tie..!!
Mehdi with a near flawless, absolutely gritty performance ....! and topped off with that well composed and brilliant assist for the match winner..!! LIKE A BOSS..!!
told ya'll mehdi off da bench FTW..!
FORZA INTER...!
