Çalhanoğlu lights up the celebrations: Inter beats Torino and treats themselves to an afternoon of celebration.
Inter continues to be hungry even after having won the Second Star just a week ago and, above all, he doesn’t want to ruin the Scudetto party. It is the Nerazzurri’s voracity that pays the price a willing Turin who managed to hold their own against the hosts for a while and then fell under the blows of the undisputed protagonist on and off the pitch of the last week and of the entire season. Hakan Calhanoglu is irrepressible and infallible.

Simone Inzaghi’s desire to win emerges entirely in the starting line-up he chose today: the Demon send into the field all its ownersnet of the injuries of Acerbi and Dimarco, and is rewarded with a performance of great intensity and concentration. On the shields the match of the two fifths and in particular that of Carlos Augusto who shows at San Siro his essential quality, namely flexibility. Barella and Mkhitaryan are irrepressible, Pavard and Bastoni as well but the best on the pitch is certainly Calhanoglu: the gesture of offering the penalty kick to Lautaro before taking it infallibly shows how much the Turk is a leader undisputed both tactically and mentally.
What is missing is, precisely, only the Captain’s goal. While his fast continues for almost two months, Lautaro Martinez continues to show his maturity always making himself available to the team until the end, acting as an important point of reference in building the game throughout the match, even when Inzaghi sends Sanchez and Arnautovic onto the field as standard bearers. The appointment has to be postponed once again but the feeling is that not much is missing: a lot will depend on the ability of the whole team to keep the tension high in the celebratory tour that awaits them, as they did today.
Il Turin proves to be up to par with the Italian Champions for at least some of the time, managing well to contain Lautaro’s flare-ups and Thuram’s explosiveness thanks to an excellent defensive phase. In fact, during the first half, Inter only managed to be dangerous on second balls and in transitions. Tameze’s very generous expulsion at the beginning of the second half the score of the match inevitably changes and galvanizes the home team and marks the end of the dispute: the man less deprives the grenades of the push on the side lanes while in the middle of the pitch the fresh Inter forces make the difference.
The European dream of Juric’s Toro is increasingly moving towards a sad conclusion but the Granata still have some cards to play: today’s match Duvan Zapata was solid and of quantity with the Colombian managing to keep the entire Inter defensive department busy and making himself dangerous especially on high balls. Raoul Bellanova instead shows that he is suffering, and much more, the tactical but above all emotional difficulty of the match. Among the many former players on the pitch between both teams, the former Cagliari player is certainly the most nervous and shows it consistently blatant gestures of annoyance. It must certainly have been his desire for revenge but in the coming weeks he will have to try to channel this explosive anger into his runs on the wing.
