Gary Medel, finaliste du Festival Espoirs de Toulon 2008, s'est imposé comme un élément-clé de l'Inter Milan au fil des mois.  Le vainqueur de la Copa America 2015 a déjà disputé 22 rencontres toutes compétitions confondues cette saison avec les Nerazzurri. Mieux, le milieu chilien a même hérité du brassard de capitaine lors de certaines rencontres.
Son activité et sa capacité à briser les attaques adverses lui ont permis de se rendre indispensable aux yeux de son entraîneur Roberto Mancini. "Si nous avions tous autant de détermination que lui, on pourrait gagner chaque match. Idéalement, je voudrais avoir 24 joueurs comme Medel et Leo Messi", a lancé le coach intériste dans les colonnes de la Gazzetta Dello Sport. Le "Pitbull" porte bien son surnom !
