The first goal wearing the black and blue shirt came in the friendly played at the San Nicola in Bari against Betis Sevilla. John Stones, the new Inter defender who arrived from City, scored in the 82nd minute, giving Chivu‘s team the victory. A true striker’s finish, capitalizing on a layoff from Pavard, his defensive partner.

The player wanted to share his emotions through a video posted on the club’s social channels. “Hi guys, I really wanted to thank you for all the love and support we saw and felt today,” the defender began. Words that show he has already felt the warmth of the Inter fans, even though he has just arrived.

“I’m really happy to have played my first match and to have scored. The guys did an incredible job. I hope to see you all soon. Forza Inter,” added Stones, visibly pleased with his winning debut. The team’s next appointment will be on Saturday, August 22, when the new Serie A season kicks off against Monza.

The last pre-season friendly has therefore left encouraging signs, with the new signing already starring and the fans ready to welcome the team for the official debut.
