Hakan Calhanoglu and his Inter teammates were a class above as the top two in Serie A battled on Sunday

When he was done celebrating Inter’s win over Juventus on the pitch, Hakan Calhanoglu switched over to social media, posting a shirtless picture of himself on Instagram with the message: “We are not done yet.” His teammate Marcus Thuram was merciless with a one-word reply: “Photoshop.”

Calhanoglu denied it, of course, but perhaps he should have fired back. No still image could ever dazzle Inter’s fans like the pass he played in the first half of Sunday night’s game. From inside his own half and just to the right of the centre-circle, Calhanoglu released Federico Dimarco with a 60-yard ball that bypassed the entire Juventus team. The full-back crossed for Thuram to score. Instead, Bremer slid in and took the ball off the Frenchman’s toes.
