The Milanese won this Sunday against the Turinese (1-0), in the clash at the top of the transalpine championship.
In the shock at the top of the 23rd day of Serie A, Inter Milan logically won against Juventus Turin with a score of 1-0. The Old Lady club, invisible in the first half, had more opportunities in the second act. The Nerazzurri opened the scoring thanks to an own goal from Federico Gatti (37th). Above all, Simone Inzaghi’s men further consolidate their leadership position with 57 points and one game less compared to the runner-up and opponent of the evening, stuck at 53 points. On the French side, Marcus Thuram was very active on the attack front and Benjamin Pavard absolutely impeccable in defense. For his return after his calf injury, Adrien Rabiot ran a lot.
L’Inter solide leader
Inter Milan took another step towards the title. The first minutes of the match were rhythmic, worthy of the event. But very quickly, Juventus cowered in defense. The passing quality of Hakan Calhanoglu, combined with the dangerous crosses of Federico Dimarco and Benjamin Pavard, considerably hampered the Old Lady club. During the first 45 minutes, it was difficult to imagine that it was a clash between the leader and his runner-up. The locals logically opened the scoring thanks to an own goal from Federico Gatti, hampered by the presence of Marcus Thuram (37th, 1-0). On the Juventus side, there was not much to look forward to, apart from a small opportunity for Dusan Vlahovic if the Serb had not missed his control.
Juventus in two stages but ineffective
The second period was much more balanced. Invisible during the first act, Adrien Rabiot’s teammates spent the second to try to come back to the score. But the locals were still threatening. Calhanoglu and Thuram on the Inter side, Gatti on the Juventus side… it was difficult to say whether the match would go to a break or to an equalizer. However, the Lombard club showed overall greater control with the clearest opportunities. Quite logically, Inter Milan will end up winning this meeting.
