L’Inter di Simone wins the Milan derby once again, for the sixth time in a row, and thus takes home the 20th championship which is also worth the second star. Among the ranks of the Nerazzurri all promoted with Thuram and Acerbi on the shields. The only one who was insufficient was the unfortunate Dumfries who was ensnared by Theo Hernandez and got the red card.
Inter’s report cards
Yann Sommer 7: First he makes an intervention that is not nice to look at but effective on Leao and then surpasses himself with a great intervention on Calabria. He was also very good at the first save on Gabbia but could do nothing against Tomori’s tap-in. Rolling shutter
Benjamin Pavard 7: He gets excited at the end of the first half for a sliding tackle on Leao who is thrown into the net and this is the emblem of his match and his season. The goal that made it 1-0 for the Nerazzurri was born from his header. Top level player
Francesco Acerbi 7.5: He scored the 1-0 goal by being ready in the middle of the penalty area on the spur of Pavard and, as usual, he loomed large in the middle of the Nerazzurri defence. Experience
Alessandro Bastoni 7: Over the years his competitive wickedness has reached very high levels and that was what he was missing given that from the back he is always capable of causing harm with his panoramic openings and his incursions. Elegant (since ’88 Stefan de Vrij sv)
Matthew Darmian 6.5: Theo Hernandez is always a tough opponent but he doesn’t get upset and doesn’t give him anything. Irreplaceable player. (since ’84 Denzel Dumfries 4:He comes in to give Darmian a break and instead gets provoked by Theo Hernandez, getting, like his colleague, the red card. Wretch)
Nicolò Barella 6.5: Usually great work in both phases, he manages to give substance and quality to his plays and often takes several Milan players for a walk. He leaves exhausted but happy. Leader (from 77′ Davide Frattesi 6: He comes in to provide muscle and substance at the end of the game and he succeeds)
Hakan Calhanoglu 7: Fundamental in the setup phase, also very precious in the folding phase. Always wise and reasoned direction. Indispensable (from 84′ Kristijan Asllani sv)
Henrix Mkhitaryan 6.5: Nervous at the start of the match due to an argument with Adli, he immediately composes himself and begins to dispense wisdom in the middle of the pitch. Not one of his best performances but still useful
Federico Dimarco 6: At this end of the season he arrived, rightly, a little tired and in a waning phase. (from 77′ Carlos Augusto 6: He comes in to give Dimarco some breathing room and tries to contain the irrepressible Chukwueze and succeeds quite well.
Marcus Thuram 7.5: What a game from the French center forward who played a quality game for 95 minutes. He scores the 2-0 goal with a great personal move and drives the entire Milan defense crazy. Chapeau
Lautaro Martinez 6.5: He fights a lot and creates space for his teammates but lately his powder has been wet. He misses a sensational goal that could have taken the match to 2-0. The positive rating of him is because of his great dirty work. True captain
Coach Simone Inzaghi 8: His Inter plays by heart now and all the credit for this very obvious upgrade goes to him.
He now knows how to read matches perfectly and doesn’t miss a beat. Demon
