Juventus had turned the match around early in the second half with two goals in as many minutes from Alex Sandro and Dusan Vlahović after going behind on an early Nicolò Barella strike. There was a sour note to Perisic바카라s post-match interview, when the Inter winger was asked about his contract which expires at the end of the season.
바카라I don바카라t know anything yet. You don바카라t wait until the last minute with important players, you just don바카라t do it,바카라 he said.
For Inter it was the first of what could be an impressive double as it is also tussling with city rival AC Milan at the top of the Serie A standings, although the defending champion is two points behind the Rossoneri with two matches remaining.
바카라I always feel like a leader and when the team is so strong it바카라s even easier to be a leader,바카라 Perišić said. 바카라We still have two matches, we need to win them and see. Do we believe we can do it? Always.바카라
Juventus also lost to Inter in the Italian Super Cup in January and it is the first year since 2011 it has finished the season without a trophy.
바카라I think Inter showed during the season they are stronger in all the matches we played against them. And we were lacking something. And I hope the anger of losing three out of four games against Inter will fire us up for next season,바카라 said Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini, who confirmed he is leaving at the end of the season.
바카라I바카라m sad to be going after a year without a trophy, but after 10 years I think it can be accepted. But that should stay with us for the next few years. It was looking for a record-extending 15th Italian Cup and had won five of the past seven editions, including last year바카라s.
But it was Inter that got off to the perfect start at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome as it took the lead with less than seven minutes on the clock. Barella was given too much time and space by the Juventus defenders and he cut in from the left before curling into the top far corner.
Juventus started to get into the match midway through the first half and almost leveled but first Samir Handanović made a comfortable save to deny Paulo Dybala and then did even better to palm away a great effort from Vlahović.
However, Handanović was somewhat at fault for Juve바카라s equalizer five minutes after the break. A shot from Vlahović was charged down but it came out to Alex Sandro on the edge of the area and his effort squirmed out of the Inter goalkeeper바카라s hands and into the back of the net.
Juventus turned the match around completely two minutes later when Vlahović ran onto a through-ball and into the area and feinted his way past Inter defender Danilo D바카라Ambrosio. His initial shot came off Handanović바카라s face but he slotted home the rebound.
Inter increased the pressure and managed to level through a controversial penalty as Lautaro Martínez went down on what referee Paolo Valeri adjudged to have been a foul from Leonardo Bonucci, although it appeared as if Martínez hooked his leg between the Juventus defender바카라s.
