Inter and Pisa produced a chaotic evening at San Siro as Sommer mistakes reopened debate and placed Martinez back into the spotlight despite the 6-2 scoreline.
Italian media agree the victory mattered, but warn that the manner of it left fresh doubts behind.
Corriere dello Sport described the night as one that “served the escape, but risked turning into a psychological drama,” with quotes via FCInterNews.
Indeed, noting that Inter “returned to being crazy for one night” after conceding twice early.
The comeback restored order, yet the paper stressed that the opening phase created “a big question mark” within the squad.

Sommer stood at the centre of the criticism.
According to the report, “Sommer is turning from a problem into a case,” with errors accumulated over the season reaching a peak against Pisa.
The goalkeeper “immediately made the match uphill,” while the second goal conceded from a corner “turned it into a bare-handed climb.”
Those moments, Corriere dello Sport argued, make “new reflections inevitable,” especially with audible frustration from the stands.
Sommer is, however, still expected to start away at Borussia Dortmund.
Although, the paper suggests that “the time could come again” for Martinez in the upcoming match against Cremonese.
The real shift came with Federico Dimarco’s introduction, described as the decisive “change of pace.” Space existed on the left but lacked precision, while Luis Henrique showed “a lack of courage” before being withdrawn.
Inter eventually pulled clear. The questions in goal, however, remain unresolved.
