Inter wastes a huge opportunity to take first place in the standings by drawing 2-2 with Lazio in the last match of the season at San Siro. The Nerazzurri do not take advantage of Napoli’s slip, as Napoli also failed to win in Parma and had to settle for a goalless draw but remains at the top.
Below, as always, we offer you some observations and insights you may have missed while watching this Inter-Lazio match from Matchday 37 of the Serie A championship—here are five points.
1. Conte going to fire up the crowd because of the 0-0 in Parma is the image of our scudetto thrown away, because at least Milan in Inzaghi’s first year had won all of their matches in the end.
2. The nervousness of Barella and an almost tearful Lautaro Martinez in the stands: these are two different ways of being captains. The Sardinian midfielder’s agitation was also evident in a tense Inter performance.
3. Once again, Inter drops more precious points from a winning position. Among fans, there were several discussions about the substitutions: they could have taken Bisseck off and done many other things, but it’s always a complicated topic to comment on, since episodes decide games. Arnautovic, coming off the bench, almost won it – another aspect to consider is the many lost balls: 19 from Barella and 12 each from Mkhitaryan and Calhanoglu.
4. Numbers in hand, Dumfries is Inter’s third top scorer this season with 11 goals. This is a clear indication of what will be needed in the next transfer market. Speaking of the market, last night in Parma–Napoli two talents, Leoni and Bonny, put in good performances that could pique the interest of the Nerazzurri management.
5. Marotta, before the match, had said that the game would also serve as preparation for the final. Despite yesterday’s disappointment for the Scudetto, it’s not over yet—even if, judging by the fans’ morale, it feels like it is. The hope is that there won’t be any negative aftereffects for the Champions League final because we’ve already seen with Barcelona how Inter is able to reignite in Europe after league defeats. But the issue is that this Champions League, which was once only a dream for Inter, is now becoming an obsession—and it’s having a harsh impact on their league campaign. In any case, it will be a historic season: even eventually with zero titles, an excellent run has been made. However, with a scudetto threshold at 82 points, the assessment of just the league campaign is insufficient.
