The match is worth a lot if not everything for both teams. Simone Inzaghi and Max Allegri don’t want to leave anything to chance. So, in with all the best men…
Highlights of the challenge
Inter Inter Inter starts more aggressively, playing high pressing, quick and unpredictable passes. The match is played for the entire first quarter of an hour in Juve’s half of the field. However, in the moment of the highest Juventus pressing comes Inter’s goal. Barella put it in the middle at 37′, Pavard tried the sforbiciata and Gatti threw it into his own goal with his chest to anticipate Thuram. Juve tried to change the pace, but never managed to get a shot on goal .
In the second half, at 63′, Gatti tries a first-intention conclusion with the ball going just wide. In 69′ there is Szczesny’s miracle on a volleyed conclusion by Barella. And that’s basically where the match ends, with Inter in control and Juve unable to create any danger.
