Inter Milan 3-2 Como – Spanish Goalkeeper Emerges As Unsung Nerazzurri Hero Inter Milan goalkeeper Josep Martinez was exceptional in his third consecutive Serie A star, helping the Nerazzurri beat Como in the semi-finals. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews , the Spanish star emerged as the Nerazzurri’s unsung hero at San Siro. Cristian Chivu’s side engineered another remarkable comeback against Como.

Indeed, less than two weeks after turning a 2-0 deficit into a 4-3 win at the Sinigaglia Stadium, they came from behind to beat Cesc Fabregas’ side. Despite falling two goals behind in the opening 50 minutes, the runaway Serie A leaders eked out a 3-2 victory to reach the grand final. Josep Martinez Emerges as Inter Milan Unsung Hero vs Como Although Hakan Calhanoglu stole the spotlight with a match-winning performance, the 27-year-old’s contribution was equally decisive.

Josep Martinez may have failed to keep a clean sheet, but his heroics between the sticks kept Inter the game until the end. For starters, he pulled off a miraculous save to deny Assane Diao only a minute after Calhanoglu’s first goal. Moreover, he came up huge in the second-half stoppage time, thwarting Maxime Caqueret’s close-range attempt.

With this type of performance, it’s hard to put it past the former Genoa star to succeed Yann Sommer next season.
