Inter 4-1 Cremonese Player Ratings: Federico Dimarco 9.5/10 Rated as Inter Romp to a Dominant 4-1 Victory

It was a spectacle of sheer dominance at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Inter completely dismantled a helpless Cremonese side in a Serie A encounter that ended 4-1 but felt even more one-sided. From our perspective, the writing was on the wall from the opening minutes. The match was a showcase of Inter's attacking prowess.

The floodgates opened early. Captain Lautaro Martínez found the net just six minutes in, setting a relentless tempo. What stood out to us was how Inter never took their foot off the gas, peppering the Cremonese goal with shots throughout the first half. They even had a goal by Manuel Akanji chalked off by VAR, but it hardly mattered.

Ange-Yoan Bonny was the surprise star, adding a second goal before halftime and then orchestrating two more in the second half for Federico Dimarco and Nicolò Barella. Cremonese managed a late consolation, but this match was a statement victory for the home side, a true attacking masterclass. Here are the Inter vs Cremonese player ratings.

Inter Player Ratings vs Cremonese

Here are the Inter player ratings vs Cremonese.

Goalkeeper

Yann Sommer - 6.5: Had very little to do for most of the game. He couldn't be faulted for the late consolation goal he conceded. From our perspective, it was a quiet afternoon for the Swiss keeper, who was mostly a spectator to his team's attacking fireworks. He was tidy with his distribution, which is what was required.

Defenders

Stefan de Vrij - 7.0: A composed and solid performance at the heart of the defense. He was barely troubled by the opposition's attack. What stood out was his near-perfect passing accuracy, which helped launch attacks from the back. He did miss a headed chance from a corner, but defensively, he was on point.

Manuel Akanji - 7.0: Unlucky to have his goal disallowed by a tight offside call in the first half. He was comfortable on the ball and stepped into midfield effectively. We noticed he was always looking for a forward pass, contributing to the team's attacking mindset even from a defensive position.

Alessandro Bastoni - 7.0: Showcased his excellent passing range before being substituted around the hour mark. He was a key part of Inter's build-up play from the left. His job was essentially done once the team was comfortably ahead, allowing him a well-deserved rest. A typically classy display.

Midfielders

Denzel Dumfries - 6.5: An energetic but brief outing for the Dutchman. He was a willing runner down the right flank in the first half, providing width and creating a chance. He was substituted early in the second half, likely to keep him fresh for future games. Did his job without being spectacular.

Davide Frattesi - 6.5: A frustrating day for him personally, despite the team's success. He got into great positions but was incredibly wasteful, missing a couple of big chances. From our perspective, he seemed desperate to get on the scoresheet, which might have clouded his finishing. An all-action performance that lacked the final product.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan - 7.0: The veteran was a busy presence in midfield, linking play and testing the keeper with a few powerful shots. He did lose possession more than he would have liked, but his creative intent was always there. A solid, if not spectacular, 75 minutes of work from him.

Nicolò Barella - 9.0: A midfield masterclass from the Italian maestro. He was everywhere. He controlled the tempo of the game, created a staggering number of chances, and capped it all off with a brilliant goal. His energy and quality were simply too much for Cremonese. A near-perfect performance.

Federico Dimarco - 9.5: The best player on the pitch, without a doubt. He was an absolute menace on the left wing, delivering an incredible 17 crosses. He scored a fantastic goal from distance and provided a crucial assist. His attacking output was simply phenomenal and he is our highest-rated player for this match. A truly world-class display.

Forwards

Lautaro Martínez - 7.5: The captain led by example, opening the scoring with a poacher's finish. While he did miss a couple of other big opportunities, his early goal was vital in settling any nerves. He worked tirelessly for the team before being substituted. A good captain's performance.

Ange-Yoan Bonny - 9.0: What a revelation. In just 61 minutes, he was directly involved in all four goals, scoring one and assisting the other three. His movement, link-up play, and creative vision were simply outstanding. A performance that will have people talking. We were incredibly impressed by his contribution.

Substitutes

Luis Henrique - 6.0: Came on for Dumfries and had a couple of wayward shots. Looked lively but lacked composure.
Carlos Augusto - 6.0: Replaced Bastoni and saw the game out with little fuss.
Francesco Pio Esposito - 6.5: Looked eager to impress and forced a good save from the keeper.
Andy Diouf - N/A: Not on long enough to rate.
Petar Sucic - N/A: Not on long enough to rate.

Manager

C. Chivu - 8.5: His game plan was executed to perfection. He sent his team out to attack from the first whistle, and they never let up. His tactics completely overwhelmed Cremonese, leading to a dominant and well-deserved victory. substitutions were managed well, resting key players once the job was done.

Cremonese Player Ratings vs Inter

Here are the Cremonese player ratings vs Inter.

Goalkeeper

Marco Silvestri - 6.0: It's hard to rate a keeper who conceded four goals, but from our perspective, it would have been more without him. He made five saves, some of them excellent, to keep the scoreline somewhat respectable. However, an error leading to a goal brings his rating down significantly.

Defenders

Giuseppe Pezzella - 5.0: Had a torrid time trying to contain Inter's rampant attackers down his flank. He was booked and struggled to make any positive impact on the game. A difficult afternoon where he was constantly on the back foot and offered little going forward.

Federico Baschirotto - 5.5: He made several clearances but was part of a defensive unit that was completely pulled apart. He fought hard but was simply overwhelmed by the quality and movement of the Inter attack. A thankless task for him today.

Matteo Bianchetti - 5.5: The captain tried to hold his backline together but it was an impossible job. He won a decent number of his duels and made eight clearances, but the sheer volume of attacks was too much to handle. A battling performance in a losing cause.

Romano Floriani Mussolini - 4.5: A day to forget. His passing was abysmal, and he offered almost no defensive security. From our perspective, he looked out of his depth and was rightly substituted in the second half. It was a performance that highlighted the gulf in class between the two sides.

Federico Ceccherini - 5.0: Like the rest of the defense, he was chasing shadows for much of his time on the pitch. He was substituted before the hour mark after a difficult shift where he struggled to cope with the relentless pressure.

Midfielders

Franco Vázquez - 5.0: He was completely anonymous in the midfield battle. He couldn't get on the ball to influence the game and offered very little defensively. Substituted before the hour, his lack of impact was telling. A very disappointing showing.

Alberto Grassi - 5.5: Ran hard and tried to make his presence felt, but he was fighting a losing battle against the superior Inter midfield. He recovered the ball six times but was often bypassed too easily. A lot of effort for very little reward.

Warren Bondo - 5.0: Another midfielder who was completely overrun. He struggled to keep possession and failed to provide a screen for his beleaguered defense. The game simply passed him by. What stood out to us was how easily he was dispossessed.

Forwards

Dennis Johnsen - 5.0: Made absolutely no impact on the game and was hooked at halftime. He was isolated and starved of service, unable to trouble the Inter defenders in any meaningful way. A passenger in the first half.

Antonio Sanabria - 4.5: A miserable performance, compounded by an error that led to a goal. He was ineffective up front and failed to hold up the ball or link play. Substituted before 60 minutes after a truly poor display.

Substitutes

Jari Vandeputte - 6.5: Provided the assist for the consolation goal with a good cross.
Federico Bonazzoli - 7.0: Came on and grabbed a goal, which is more than any of the starting attackers managed.
Jamie Vardy - 5.5: Ran around but had little impact.
Mikayil Faye - 5.5: Came into a defense that was already beaten.
Tommaso Barbieri - N/A: Not on long enough to rate.

Manager

D. Nicola - 4.5: His team looked lost from the very start. The defensive setup was shambolic, and they offered no attacking threat until the game was long gone. From our perspective, he had no answer for Inter's tactics and his substitutions did little to change the flow of the match.
