Yesterday was a significant day at Appiano Gentile, when Inter Milan truly set their sights on Juventus, after returning from Switzerland on Thursday morning with a day of rest granted by Simone Inzaghi.

On this note, La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals a backstory. During the training at La Pinetina, the black and blue captain Lautaro Martinez gave a speech to his team members. The Argentine reminded everyone that this is a crucial point in the season and defeating Juventus would mean gaining significant momentum, especially after five consecutive wins.

Number 10 then wanted to emphasize a critical aspect, a genuine imperative that must sink into the heads of the Inter Milan players: do not underestimate Juventus. Inter Milan had already made the same mistake before the derby against Milan, who came from a resounding defeat in the Champions League against Liverpool. Juventus lost badly against Stuttgart, but Simone Inzaghi‘s team must prove that they have learned their lesson.
