From the source

Diouf was arguably Inter's most influential player in the closing stages. He provided the vital assist for Thuram's equaliser in the 91st minute. His energy in the engine room was crucial, and he was instrumental in ensuring Inter won the midfield battle with superior volume.

The captain led with his usual intensity but struggled to find the killer pass against a congested Fiorentina midfield. He worked tirelessly for 85 minutes, helping to cycle possession, though he lacked his typical goal-scoring threat on this occasion.

The metronome of the side, Calhanoglu was the hub through which all play flowed. He was central to Inter's 63% possession, though he was withdrawn in the 78th minute as Cristian Chivu searched for more direct attacking options to chase the game.
