Record champions Juventus Turin won the Derby d’Italia again on Sunday evening (March 19th, 2023) and further improved their chances of qualifying for the European Football Cup.
After a 1-0 (1-0) win at Inter Milan, the “Old Lady” is seventh in Serie A despite being deducted 15 points due to falsified financial reports.
Former Frankfurt, Hamburg and Stuttgarter Filip Kostic (23rd) ensured the victory for Turin, who had already beaten Inter in the first half of the season (2-0), with a well-placed low shot. Germany international Robin Gosens was absent from Milan due to injury.
After the final whistle, some of the players were still fighting and both Paredes and D’Ambrosio were punished with a red card.
