Mkhitaryan has contributed one goal and three assists in Serie A, with three of these contributions occurring in his last four games.

All recent victories took place in Riyadh, where Mkhitaryan feels Inter has established a strong presence.

Reflecting on his form, Mkhitaryan acknowledges improvement since the season began. He credits competition from teammates Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski for pushing him to excel. "At the beginning of the season I wasn’t at my best, but now I’m back to my levels," he stated. The Armenian midfielder appreciates how this internal rivalry motivates everyone to perform at their peak.

Mkhitaryan expressed caution regarding Atalanta’s capabilities under Gian Piero Gasperini's leadership. "Obviously, tomorrow’s match will be very important," he noted. "We know that Atalanta are playing very well." Despite acknowledging Atalanta's strength, Mkhitaryan remains optimistic about Inter's chances with fan support.

Mkhitaryan is hopeful about continuing Inter’s winning streak in Riyadh. He believes that fan support will play a crucial role in overcoming Atalanta’s challenge. "We hope that our fans will give us a hand to win," he added confidently.

As Inter prepares for this crucial clash against Atalanta, Mkhitaryan’s form and determination could be pivotal for securing another Supercoppa Italiana victory.
