Joaquin Correa has had a difficult start to 2022 but history proves that he could be the hero in Inter’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Milan tomorrow.
The 27-year-old Argentinian forward has struggled to play consistent minutes this season, suffering from both a muscle injury and a hamstring issue. His last goal contribution came in the 3-2 win over Napoli in November and he showed little of note in the 3-1 win over Spezia last week.
Despite this, history proves that Correa knows how to hurt Milan; he has faced them 11 times in the past, the most common opponent in of his career alongside Atalanta, and he’s netted five goals in those games. One of these was a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg with Lazio, playing under Simone Inzaghi in the 2018-19 season.
Correa will be dreaming of repeating this feat in tomorrow’s game, being the hero and finally giving him something to smile about again in an Inter shirt.
