MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Arithmetic doesn’t ruin the Nerazzurri party. Inter won 2-0 against Torino, Calhanoglu’s double in the second half was decisive: 28th victory in 34 games for Simone Inzaghi’s team, 89 points won in a triumphal season. Smiles and chants at the final whistle with all the Nerazzurri people, the celebrations will continue with the parade that will start from San Siro and end in Piazza Duomo, with around 100 thousand Inter fans expected on the streets. Wasted opportunity for Juric’s men who remain far from the European zone, in the next round the Granata will challenge Bologna. Inter will instead travel to Sassuolo.
In an all-Italian San Siro, Simone Inzaghi decided not to overturn the starting line-up too much, with only De Vrij and Carlos Augusto on the pitch in place of the injured Acerbi and Dimarco. Torino responded with a 3-4-2-1, with Zapata as the only offensive reference: the Colombian attempted a shot blocked by Sommer in the 15th minute, immediately afterwards the former Atalanta player came close to scoring the opening goal with a header released by a matter of centimeters.
The hosts increased the pace only in the second half: after four minutes Tameze, previously booked for having brought down Mkhitaryan from the edge of the box, was sent off following a review at the VAR. In the 11th minute Calhanoglu, at the end of a maneuvered move in basketball style, he managed to overcome Milinkovic-Savic with a first-rate shot. Four minutes later the Turk scored his personal brace by converting the penalty won by Thuram for a foul by Lovato in the area. The second Nerazzurri goal practically sealed the end of the match, Inzaghi gave space to those who played less in a triumphant season: Lautaro tried to score on a couple of occasions, Asllani and Frattesi’s attempts from distance were timid. In the final academy Torino tried a few things
I lunge without however managing to overtake Sommer.
