While Inter still has a chance of the double of the championship and Coppa Italia, Juve will end a season without a title for the first time since 2011: The Turin team no longer have a chance in Serie A, they failed in the Champions League in the round of 2012. From 2020 to 2011, the championship title went to Juventus nine times in a row, and last year there was still a cup victory to celebrate. Inter, on the other hand, is celebrating their first cup victory since XNUMX, when they defeated Palermo in the final.

In the Derby d'Italia, national player Barella celebrated after a long shot. Juve were the more active team after that, but only scored after the break: Alex Sandro beat goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with a shot that didn't look good for the keeper. Shortly afterwards, Vlahovic completed a counterattack. Calhanoglu equalized with a controversial penalty. In extra time, Perisic also stayed cool from the point after a much clearer foul. And shortly afterwards he made the decision with a goal worth seeing.
