The Turkey international later played a key role in Inter’s victory, delivering a pinpoint corner assist for Carlos Augusto’s opener early in the second half before Lautaro Martinez sealed the win in the closing minutes.

Footage shared by Inter’s official social media accounts showed Calhanoglu moonwalking on the Gewiss Stadium pitch before Sunday’s match, seemingly in homage to Michael Jackson’s iconic dance move.
