The Albanian midfielder leads Inter Milan from midfield and scores a perfect penalty, while Zielinski praises the team's belief and quality

His efforts were rewarded early in the second half with a crucial penalty goal — flawlessly executed against a specialist like Milinkovic-Savic. 

Asllani dedicated the goal to someone special in his life on Mother’s Day.

Kristjan Asllani said after the match:

"It’s always great to make an impact. Now, we focus on winning every game left to arrive at the final in the best way. We must not make mistakes, and then we’ll see what Napoli does — it’s not in our hands, but we’ll give everything.
I’ve been here for three years and the desire to win is always strong. We’re proud — reaching a Champions League final isn’t something that happens every year.
I dedicated the goal to my mother and also to my whole family; they’re always with me."

Piotr Zielinski added:

"We knew it wouldn’t be easy in Torino. We started well, stayed focused, and showed our quality. We must keep believing — we’re a great group and still in the race.
In the league, we’ll need Napoli to slip up, but the key is that we feel good and have big goals.
Today’s win was crucial to send a signal. Everyone must be ready, starters and subs alike, just like we saw against Barcelona.
It hurts a bit to have dropped points, considering our quality, but as long as there’s a chance, we have to believe.
The pitch was heavy at halftime, but it improved at the start of the second half and didn’t bother us anymore."
