The report cards of Inter-Juventus 3-2

Inter and Juventus put on a show in the derby d’Italia just as they did in the first leg. In Turin it had ended 4-3 for the Bianconeri, in Milan it ended 3-2 for the Nerazzurri. Worst on the field was the referee La Penna of Rome

.

Inter

Sommer 6

He has no obvious faults on the goals and for long stretches experiences an evening without major shocks. He is prompt in his exits and precise with his feet, calmly administering the simplest situations.

Bisseck 6

Factual, no-nonsense game. Closes spaces well, imposes himself physically in contrasts and in construction always chooses the safest solution.

Akanji 6

Plays with order and focus. Doesn’t particularly show off, but doesn’t make mistakes and provides solidity to the department.

Bastoni 4

The simulation episode weighs heavily, and with a careful referee he would have risked big. He exults immoderately at Kalulu’s red and does not look good. Chivu cleverly takes him off at the end of the first half.

Carlos Augusto 6

.

Gives more balance on the flank, defends carefully and comes forward steadily, without forcing plays)

Luis Henrique 5

Great mistake on the occasion of the Juventus goal: he loses his man and concedes decisive space. Going forward he fails to make up for it.

Pio Esposito 7.5

.

He enters with character and finds a very heavy goal. He moves well between defenders and shows great coolness.

Barella 5.5

Returns from injury and starts immediately. In the middle of the field he struggles to find space and does not appear in top condition. In the second half he is cautioned. Overall underwhelming performance.

Calhanoglu 6.5

He raises the technical level of the team, gives order to the maneuver and makes himself dangerous on set pieces.)

Zielinski 7

The best of the Nerazzurri team. Manages the tempo well, recovers balls and inserts intelligently. He decides the game in the 90th minute with a great shot from outside.

Sucic 6

Dark but useful work. Sacrifices himself, maintains position and plays simple, without taking risks.

Diouf 6

.

Provides energy and helps the team stay compact in the finale.

Dimarco 7

Great defensive intervention on David in the first half. Then tries a shot-cross that ends up wide, however. He serves the usual assist for Esposito and also puts in a good ball for Bisseck.

Lautaro Martinez 5

Complicated evening for the ‘Toro’. He fights and presses, but receives few playable balls and fails to make himself really dangerous.

Thuram 6.5

.

Very active. Keeps the ball, attacks depth and opens spaces for teammates. Valuable even without scoring.

Chivu (all.) 6

The team suffers but stays in the game and the changes help: shrewd that of Bastoni with Carlos Augusto. Avoidable the goal conceded in numerical superiority.

Juventus

Di Gregorio 5.5

.

Heavy mistake on Cambiaso’s own goal. Then makes two good interventions, but the initial episode affects the judgment.

Kalulu 5.5

.

On the right flank he moves with continuity and is always in the thick of the game. He is cautioned for an intervention on Barella, a rather harsh decision. Then comes the second yellow for an alleged foul on Bastoni: dubious contact, which seemed neither irregular nor worth a card.

Bremer 6.5

.

Best in defense. Strong in duels and timely in anticipation, he leads the department even in numerical inferiority.

Kelly 6.5

Solid performance. Defends with concentration and does not concede much to the Nerazzurri attackers.

Cambiaso 6.5

Unlucky on the own goal, but reacts by scoring the equalizer. Pushes courageously and doesn’t let it affect him.

Locatelli 7

Leader’s game. He retrieves balls, dictates the times and finds the 2-2 goal, heavy in technical and emotional value.

Miretti 5.5

He tries hard but struggles to find space between the lines. Good will, little concreteness.

Koopmeiners 6

He brings quality and helps the circulation of the ball.

Conceiçao 6

He kicks high from a favorable position. He shows up on the right but fails to make his mark. He is replaced at halftime by tactical choice.

Holm 6

More balance than thrust, he performs the task without overdoing it.

McKennie 6.5

Great intensity and continuous insertions. Serves up an assist and fights on every ball.

Yildiz 6

Alternates good plays with some inaccuracy. Shows talent but lacks continuity.

Boga 5.5

He enters with desire but makes little impact in the minutes in which he remains on the field.

David 5

Underserved and often isolated. Works for the team but fails to be dangerous.

Cabal 6

Gives energy and physicality in the finale.

Spalletti (all.) 7

Juventus plays with personality and holds up even in ten. The negative result is affected more by the episodes than by the performance.

La Penna (referee) 2

.

He ruins the derby d’Italia. Who knows what designator Rocchi, who has bet on him for such a delicate match,

will say.
