Mattia Todisco’s Inter report cards
HANDANOVIC 5. Called several times at work, between the posts and at the exits. The intervention on Vlahovic in the first half is a jewel, but on Alex Sandro’s shot (touch by Morata or not) everything is wrong.
D’AMBROSIO 5.5. Inzaghi chooses him and not Dimarco to have more tonnage in the rear. On Vlahovic’s goal he is seated by the Serbian.
THE FREE 7. He’s in charge of looking after Vlahovic. She takes care of him, letting him play the bank and trying to deny him the depth. He wins the 3-2 penalty.
SKRINIAR 6.5. Deployed on the left loses dexterity in the dribble. Shown on the right with the entrance of Dimarco. He never loses his compass.
DARMIAN 6. He doesn’t have the timing and physicality to be an offensive factor like Dumfries. He has a good chance in the second half, Perin tows him.
STRETCHER 6.5. The left turn that opens the dance is splendid. He runs and tackles for the rest of the race.
BROZOVIC 7. Companions trust and constantly seek him. Every now and then he takes an extra risk than he should. A moment before the 4-2 he avoids the possible black and white draw.
CALHANOGLU 7. Inaccurate on set pieces, except on the equal penalty, when the ball weighs a lot.
PERISIC 8. In the hot phase of the race it becomes decisive. One of its sides provokes the penalty of 2-2 and takes the burden of kicking that of the trio. Closes with a fantastic goal.
MARTINEZ 6. He stays on the sidelines, waiting for a ball that is struggling to arrive. He earns a penalty with great craft. He comes out angry about the change.
DZEKO 5. Chiellini constantly anticipates him. Rightly replaced after a colorless race.
ANNEX INZAGHI 7. Wins the second trophy of the season despite the crush at the start of the second half.
DIMARCO 6,5. His entrance enlivens the attacking action of Inter.
DUMFRIES 6. Like Darmian, he can’t score much up front. Careful in defense after the Nerazzurri’s advantage.
CORREA 6. Nothing transcendental, but little wrong.
VIDAL 6. Check the situation once you find the advantage. SANCHEZ 6. Attempt to finish as soon as extra time has begun: central.

Paolo Grilli’s Juve report cards
ERIN 5,5. After the cold shower of the first goal he also finds a way to show off. But then he can also do little on Perisic.
DANILO 5. As if intimidated by Perisic, he never turns on. He comes out already in the first half, bruised: more than a mitigation on a test to be forgotten.
THE LIES 4. He keeps the pitfalls away for a long time and even goes close to scoring a header. Then with an inexplicable impetuosity he provokes the two decisive penalties and Perisic is also lost at 2-4.
CHIELLINI 7. Heart of a captain, he also takes a foul in percussion on the trocar. He does not show the ball to Lautaro and Dzeko before leaving exhausted. Super performance, but the 20th Bianconero trophy does not arrive.
ALEX SANDRO 6,5. Above all it seals by limiting raids to the maximum. Guess the right one at the start of the second half for the draw.
ZAKARIA 5,5. He does not get up to Barella on the goal. The leg is there, not too many ideas to set up, create, surprise.
RABIOT 5,5. He immediately bites with his physicality, but participation in the maneuver is close to zero.
SQUARE 6. Decentralized source of play, it doesn’t sting that much. Danilo’s exit forces him to retreat: the forced plan B mortifies his verve.
DYBALA 6.5. Long ‘false 10’ in constant coverage on Brozovic, he has two good chances but his left is not fairy. Launch Vlahovic towards 2-1.
BERNARDESCHI 5.5. Fatal for him too the meter left to Barella. Then he puts bucks and verticality into it. Also putting a chest touch in the action of Vlahovic’s goal.
VLAHOVIC 7. The loneliness of the number 7 ends with that overbearing percussion that deludes Juve. Bomber found in the most bitter evening.
ALL. ALLEGRI 5. He wanted “cake”, he said. But in this season from zero titles he only remedies the last useful place for the Champions League: crumbs, and also insipid. Juve had overturned the game, but lost it, returning to the victim of the old habit of distraction. All to be redone, in a myriad of doubts. Max is kicked out of the camp as he swears at the world.
MORATA 6. He starts the action of the 2-1 goal and never misses his energetic quality.
BONUCCI 5.5. It does not raise the decisive barrier.
LOCATELLI 5.5. Upon returning, he fails to shine.
ARTHUR 5,5. It does not shock.
PELLEGRINI 6
