Impact Bastoni had a wildly busy clash, especially as a defender, he created five chances and scored a goal, a stat line that would make more sense for a forward. It was an exceptional showing, but it still ended in defeat, and still sent Inter out of the Champions League. Bastoni will now turn his focus solely on domestic play.
