Striker Marko Arnautovic has hardly been a regular starter for Inter Milan this season.
Nor has the 35-year-old always come off the bench.
Arnautovic is well aware of his status as a backup option in attack for the Nerazzurri.
But the former Stoke City and West Ham United veteran has well and truly made the most of his opportunities.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has turned to Arnautovic when he has needed to rest the starters in attack, or find a different sort of option leading the line.
And Arnautovic has just about always managed to come up big in those circumstances.

And in this limited playing time, the Austrian has scored seven goals.
Additionally, Arnautovic has popped up with two assists.
The 35-year-old was decisive with a sharp goal and then an even better assist against Cagliari this weekend.
And that star turn saw Arnautovic take his average this campaign to a goal or assist every 76 minutes.
Meanwhile, Arnautovic nearly always scores when he starts matches, Tuttosport note.
The former Bologna striker has started in two out of Inter's last three Serie A matches. And opened the scoring in both of them.
In fact, the only match that Arnautovic has played as a starter in for Inter this season and not found the back of the net in was a Champions League outing away to Young Boys.

'We realised…' – Ousmane Dembele recalls first impression of Ballon d'Or rival Lamine Yamal
It looks like the winner of the 2025 Ballon d'Or will either be a current Barcelona player, or a former one. Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Raphinha are all seen as candidates, but the one seen as the favourite at this stage is Ousmane Dembele. Dembele, who left Barcelona in 2023, had a sensational 2024-25 season with Paris Saint-Germain, whom he helped win a historic treble – which included their first-ever Champions League. And things could get better still, as the European champions are competing in this summer's Club World Cup. Advertisement And when speaking to France Football (via Sempre Barca), Dembele gave his thoughts on a possible Ballon d'Or success. 'It's difficult to say (if I will win). But winning a Ballon d'Or when you're a footballer is obviously the holy grail on an individual level. It's something you dream of as a child. I remember when I saw the players appear in Téléfoot to receive him. It was incredible. The object – the ball – is exceptional. 'This season I think I've been consistent, so we'll see what happens. It would be exceptional to have my name on the list. And to be one of the favourites is already a great victory, although I hope to win it one day.' Image viaAdvertisement Lamine Yamal is seen as Dembele's main rival for the award, and during the interview, he reminisced about his first impressions of the 17-year-old sensation, whom was played alongside briefly at Barcelona. 'They were already talking about him from a very young age in Barcelona. When he reached the professional team, we realised that he was exceptional and reached another level. In training, he would dribble, assist, and score.' Dembele also spoke on the impact that former Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique, who has had a monumental impact at PSG. 'With a coach like Luis Enrique, you know that if you don't defend, you go to the bench, and someone will take your place. For me, a striker should not cheat, he should make efforts all the time, both defensively and offensively, to help the team, not just when we attack. Thanks to that, PSG became European champions: we all defended and we all attacked.'

Fabrizio Romano: Atletico Make Unexpected Move for Liverpool Star
Atletico Madrid Eye Surprise Move for Andy Robertson As Liverpool prepare for a major summer shake-up under Arne Slot, one of the club's most consistent performers could be heading for the exit. In a surprising twist, Fabrizio Romano reports that Atletico Madrid have made Andy Robertson their top target at left-back, casting fresh doubt over the Scot's future at Anfield. Robertson on Atletico's Radar Romano reveals that Atletico, having cooled their interest in AC Milan's Theo Hernandez, have now turned their attention to Robertson – a move that no one quite saw coming. With Milos Kerkez expected to arrive and Kostas Tsimikas long seen as the likely departure, this development flips the script entirely. Robertson, 30, has been a mainstay for Liverpool since arriving from Hull City in 2017. His intensity, overlapping runs, and defensive reliability helped drive the Reds to Champions League and Premier League glory under Jürgen Klopp. Yet, in football, timing is everything – and this summer, the winds of change are sweeping through Merseyside. Precedents Set in Madrid Should Robertson make the move to Spain, he wouldn't be the first Premier League full-back to swap the UK for the Spanish capital. We have seen players such as Kieran Trippier, Matt Doherty and of course Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer leave for Spain in recent times. Advertisement Though Robertson is still a first team regular, his performance levels have dropped from his peak of the early Klopp days, so it could be an interesting move for the Scotsman – especially as he's never played outside the UK before. The physical demands of English football have taken a toll, and La Liga might offer a different tactical test with potentially less wear-and-tear. What It Means for Liverpool If Robertson leaves, it will mark the end of an era. But Liverpool aren't unprepared. The arrival of Jeremie Frimpong and the expected signing of Kerkez show clear intent to rejuvenate the full-back positions. Slot's system may demand different attributes – quicker ball movement, inverted full-backs, or even a new tactical shape that doesn't rely as heavily on Robertson's trademark overlaps. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool fan's perspective, this is a bittersweet moment. Andy Robertson is one of our most loved and loyal servants of the Klopp era. His passion, grit, and engine down the left flank symbolised everything we admired about this team. Seeing his name linked with a move abroad is hard to process, but it may be the right time – for him and for us. Advertisement If we're honest, Robbo hasn't looked quite the same since the 2021-22 campaign. Injuries, fatigue, and tactical shifts have taken their toll. In Arne Slot's system, full-backs might play more conservatively or differently – and someone like Milos Kerkez, younger and more dynamic, could suit the future better. There's also something respectful about this potential exit. Atletico Madrid is no step down. Playing under Simeone, in La Liga, and competing in the Champions League is a challenge worthy of Robertson's pedigree. He could follow in the footsteps of Kieran Trippier and rejuvenate his career abroad while opening a new chapter for Liverpool. As Reds, we'll always honour Robbo's contribution. If he does go, it must be on the club's terms – and for the right price. But he'll leave with our gratitude and respect, knowing he helped build something special at Anfield.
