as if I couldn't want this player more

He means he'll stay at Inter his whole career?

More of his role and level evoking comparisons. Marchisio complimented him so journalists brought it up. Wouldn't be surprised if he stays at Inter forever, assuming Inter's ownership doesn't collapse

Enough with the whining. The one to cry over is Zaniolo, not a jack of al trades, master of none like Barella. Which is the only thing he has in common with Marchisio. His style is more similar to Vidal, but I doubt he'll ever get to that level. More to Marchisio's level and maybe even higher.

It's funny that, last year, when we needed someone like him more that we do today, a lot of Juve fans thought he was a scrub (lol, Inter paying 50 mil for a bidone was a common reaction), but this year he's the second coming of Gattuso and Marchisio in one package

P.S. And like Luca said above, he's an Inter fan and the only way he was going to come to us was if Inter were still trash. Being obsessed over him is like getting hung up on a chick that doesn't even know you exist

wait, Inter paid 50m for him?!

Lautaro should've been booked there for diving

Toupee needlessly moaning about a non existent penalty

43 years

what a farce

Our left side is a blackhole atm with Sandro and Bernardeschi.

Bernardeschi should just quit this profession tbh

We're playing some horrendous stuff atm

Crazy that we're not a goal down already

My nerves, Inter dominate for the whole time but they look like Portugal when Pauleta was his CF, THEY CAN'T SCORE

Lautaro has a very bad conversion rate this year

Zaniolo ? lol

A 20 year- old who got already  two ACL injuries , and also a bad attitude out of pitch.

He's destined to nothing of special

Juve actually looked like they were about to score in the last five to ten minutes. In my opinion, Inter didn't create many dangerous chances, although a couple of Erikson balls begged to be headed home.

The "penalty" decision is nothing (not a dive by Lautaro as well). Lautaro miscued his shot and hit the Juve player and fell down.

The game can still go anywhere, but Inter will need to raise it up a notch if they want to score two goals.

We've created better chances than Inter and they are the ones that need to score.

Looking good so far.

De Ligt - Demiral looking quite good today.

Epic troll performance

Both teams were awful, probably the worst Derby D'Italia I've seen but nice to see Inter bottling again though.

I mean, given the insanity of our schedule, we'll take the result and not worry too much about the performance

On to Napoli vs Juventus on Saturday before the CL on Wednesday and then an "easier" group of games

Perfect way to navigate this schedule. Knocking out Inter with rotated lineups while keeping the pace in the league.

Coppa final against Napoli-Atalanta. I think Atalanta will make it to the final

Napoli and Porto next and we are out of the woods.

Glad we didnt go for Lautaro as the rumours were, I mean after watching a few games hes good, but not that good. Even if we lost a Suarez I feel he wouldnt be good enough to lead our attack. As for Lukaku's inability to score vs the top team says it all. The third striker Inter have is Alexis, who struggle as well. So its no wonder they cant score vs a good Juve defense

Tbf Inter also had bad luck and Ronaldo's goal from that mistake proved to be the difference in the tie.

Lautaro is not a player to rush to pay 100m for. He is still

Hapless_Hans wrote:wait, Inter paid 50m for him?!

40m. Well spent too, proving to be one of their better moves of recent times. Had they not given Zaniolo away for Nainggolan they would be well set for the future with those and Hakimi, Lautaro, Skriniar, Bastoni.

Hapless_Hans wrote:wait, Inter paid 50m for him?!

Something like 10 loan fee, 30 obligation to buy and bonuses. so the total was 45-50.

Yeah, 'cause torn ACL's and dumping chicks after getting them pregnant are impediments towards being a great athlete. Somebody forgot to tell that to Tom Brady. Work ethic is the only thing that matters and, judging by the way he came back from the previous ACL, I doubt it will be a problem

Atalanta stomping Napoli.

Two different kinds of beautiful goals by Zapata and Pessina.

See them in the final.

Also, Napoli needs a better coach than Gattuso. Ole out.

Napoli struggling greatly against Atalanta with a make-shift defense.

Atalanta basically scored with barely any effort.

Gattuso's career will be hinged on the match against Juve (unless I somehow jinx Atalanta here)

Just remembered that Napoli owned Zapata.

How much have they spent on strikers since? Osimhen, Petagna, Milik, Llorente...

Napoli, like Inter, can be devastating once they control a match.

However, also like Inter, they haven't shown the character to get out of adversity.

Scoring 2 goals against Atalanta is possible, but I doubt they can do it unless they change something serious in their thinking during the half-time talk.

Agnelli vs. Conte: The FIGC investigates

The FIGC Prosecutor’s Office has reportedly opened an investigation into the dispute between Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and Inter coach Antonio Conte.

News agency ANSA reports the head of the office, Giuseppe Chiné, immediately opened an investigation when the Disciplinary Commission avoided to sanction the two protagonists of Juventus-Inter in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.

Fourth official Daniele Chiffi has already been called up for a hearing by the Prosecutor’s Office, as referee Maurizio Mariani reportedly didn’t mention anything about the brawl in his match report.

Chiffi :

Blatant penalty for Napoli not called, Chiellini smashes his hand on Rrahmani's face

Fuck Juve

Justice is served

Insigne 1-0 from the pen after VAR consultation

What a senseless penalty from Chiellini
