Tue Nov 19 02:18:51 UTC 2024: ## Inter Milan Duo Shine Despite Italy’s Nations League Defeat to France
**Milan, Italy** – Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco and Marcus Thuram impressed in Sunday’s UEFA Nations League clash between Italy and France, despite a 3-1 loss for the Azzurri at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. While Italy suffered a defeat, Thuram in particular stood out, showcasing his exceptional ball-carrying skills and dominating in one-on-one situations against Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Though he didn’t score, his overall performance earned him high praise. Dimarco also received positive reviews for his contribution to the game.
However, the performance of other Inter Milan players in the Italian squad was less stellar. Alessandro Bastoni, usually a defensive stalwart, struggled against Thuram’s attacking prowess. Davide Frattesi had a quieter game than usual, and Nicolo Barella, deployed in an unfamiliar advanced role, lacked his typical impact. France’s victory, fueled by Adrien Rabiot’s brace and an own goal, secured them top spot in Group A2.
