Arnautovic’s heel enters history: here’s why

Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic, formerly of Bologna, has attracted significant attention for his recent performances with Inter Milan, featuring exceptional play and thrilling assists. In a fairly unusual occurrence, one of his assists made it to the front page of “Corriere della Sera”, a non-sporting Italian newspaper, on Christmas Eve. The paper praised his incredible exploit against Lecce with the headline, “Arnautovic, what a backheel”.

Arnautovic’s magic on field isn’t a one-off in the ongoing season. The season began with an exquisite backheel pas for Lautaro in Inter-Monza match. It confirms the Austrian’s exceptional talent and contribution is increasingly being recognised, often taking centre stage in positive highlights for his Italian Serie A side Inter Milan.
