Italian press hails Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s game against Parma

Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan received consistent ratings from leading Italian outlets for the match against Parma, averaging 6.5 points.

Journalists highlighted Mkhitaryan’s confident return to the starting lineup after previously yielding playing time to Zieliński. According to Fcinternews, the Armenian showed no issues with his physical condition, worked actively on his flank, joined attacks alongside Dimarco, and maintained a high tempo until the end of the match.

90min emphasized the importance of this performance following a difficult end to 2025, when Mkhitaryan was less frequently involved. L’Interista described his play as intelligent and effective, while NerazzurriSiamoNoi singled out his assist for Sučić’s second goal as a clear demonstration of his skill.

According to Eurosport, Mkhitaryan was the team’s “tireless engine,” working from start to finish, though a teammate failed to convert a chance he created. The newspaper Leggo called the match “the response of an old lion” striving to reclaim his place in the hierarchy, noting both the volume and quality of his contributions.

The Italian press unanimously assessed Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s game as reliable and important for Inter, underscoring his activity and leadership qualities on the pitch.
