The 36th week of Serie A saw Inter once again as the absolute protagonist, who once again showed the mentality of a champion by defeating Lazio with authority 3-0 at the "Olympico", just a few days before the final of the Italian Cup between these two teams.
The Blues started the match in the best possible way. Just six minutes into the game, Lautaro Martínez opened the scoring with a spectacular overhead kick after an assist from Marcus Thuram. Inter dominated the pace of the game and continued to create chances, while Lazio struggled to react. In the 39th minute, the safety goal came: Lautaro served for Petar Sučić, who doubled the score and sent the Blues calmly into the break.
In the second half, Maurizio Sarri's team tried to reopen the match, but the decisive moment came in the 59th minute, when Alessio Romagnoli was sent off, leaving Lazio with ten men. However, the white and blues did not give up and created several dangerous chances, but Inter remained cold and cynical. In the 76th minute, after a long offensive action and an assist from Bonny, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the third goal with a powerful shot under the crossbar, finally sealing the 3-0 success.
With this victory, Inter climbs to 85 points and sends a clear message: the team is not satisfied with success and aims to win the Coppa Italia as well.
Juventus also won a very important victory in the evening, triumphing 1-0 in a difficult transfer against Lecce. The Bianconeri started the challenge perfectly, taking the lead after just 10 seconds of play thanks to Dušan Vlahović. The Serbian striker scored the fastest goal in Juventus history and immediately gave his team peace. Spalletti's team had two more goals disallowed in the second half by VAR for an irregular position, while the result did not change until the end. Our national team midfielder Ylber Ramadani was activated for Lecce throughout the challenge. This was his 100th match with the Lecce jersey. Thanks to this victory, Juventus goes to 68 points, temporarily overtaking Milan in 3rd place and hoping for the mistakes of the followers, as far as the race for the Champions zone is concerned.
