Calhanoglu had previously stated, ‘I don't want to boast, but normally I don't miss penalties because goalkeepers struggle when I shoot.’
Hakan Calhanoglu's failure to convert the penalty kick also made headlines in the Italian press. It was noted that this was the second time the experienced footballer had missed a penalty while playing for Inter.
Reports in Italy emphasised that Calhanoglu's other missed penalty was also in November. TuttoMercato stated, ‘Calhanoglu missed his seventh penalty out of 60 in his career. This is the second penalty he has missed while playing for Inter. His only previous penalty attempt was against Meret's Napoli (Inter-Napoli 1-1, November 2024).’

The comments about Hakan Calhanoglu in Calcio Mercato are as follows:
"He enjoys great freedom but only uses it partially. He gets into a good position with Thuram's pass but makes a poor shot with his weaker foot and misses a good opportunity. The counterattack that puts Milan ahead starts with him losing the ball in midfield. He gets into position to be forgiven from 11 metres but falls under Maignan's hypnotic gaze and misses the penalty on a night that was wasted for him."
