Inter beat Juve at San Siro

Too good Inter, too good. San Siro sang, with nobody leaving the stadium. The match has just ended, yet the Meazza is full and shows no signs of tiredness, singing its heart out. The lads, who run towards the Curva, embrace each other, celebrating with somersaults, jumping up and down, chanting, singing. Inter have won!

1-0 and an own goal was enough. In the 37th minute, from one of many textbook move by Inzaghi’s side on the night, ended with Thuram’s run to the near post and Gatti turning it home past his own goalkeeper with his chest.

1-0, but the number of chances was one-sided, as was the dominance of play: Calhanoglu hit the post, Szczesny made two miraculous saves (from Barella and Arnautovic), and there was an endless series of sighs for goals that nearly were. At the other end, Sommer was just a spectator, with only a couple of scares, in the second half, from Kostic’s two dangerous attempts. That's it. The rest was a demonstration of spectacular football, incredible mentality, determination combined with skill and technique. It was a wonderful Inter performance that extends their lead to four points at the top, from Juventus, despite having played a game less. How beautiful you are, Inter.
