His assist and several attractive moves generated enthusiasm among fans and the Italian media, who declared him one of the match’s heroes.

After the match, Sučić said:

I’m overjoyed! These are my first matches in the Inter shirt, and I’m doing my best. I knew the game against River Plate would be difficult, but I believed in myself and the team.
