Absent Lautaro Martínez (he reached the yellow limit), Inter suffered a lack of goal and tied 2-2 with Cagliari. What do you need to win the title in the derby?
Inter suffered horrors the lack of Lautaro Martínez: did not go beyond a 2-2 draw against Cagliari as a local, but was one step away from 20th Italian League of his history, a title that could mathematically arrive on the next date, if he wins the derby in view of Milanguard, who suffered a lot to tie 3-3 with the modest Sassuolopenultimate.
“Inter is going to be the champion, but we are going to try to make sure it is not in the derby“We owe it to our fans,” said Milan coach Stefano Pioli. Due to suspensions, Inter could not count on their scorer Lautaro Martínez or French defender Benjamin Pavard this Sunday.
Despite these absences, Simone Inzaghi’s team took the initiative against Cagliari (14th) and managed to distance themselves on the scoreboard on two occasions. First with a goal from Frenchman Marcus Thuram (12th minute), who took perfect advantage of a pass from Chilean Alexis Sánchez and then with a penalty scored by Turkish Hakan Calhanoglu (74th).
But on two occasions the Sardinian team managed to balance the score, with two low shots in the area by the Uzbek Eldor Shomurodov (64) and Nicolas Viola (83).
Milan wants to prevent Inter from celebrating in the classic
“This draw is disappointing. We are two points short of our goal, so this is not over,” Inzaghi warned. After this tie, eInter will no longer be able to beat the record for points achieved in a single Italian League season, which Juventus will continue to hold with the 102 points it accumulated in the 2013-2014 campaign.
Sunday was difficult for Milan, who were losing 2-0 and 3-1 away against Sassuolo, before being able to finish with a 3-3 draw. Five wins in a row he had rossonero in the Italian League, but this time everything was complicated from the beginning: with goalkeeper Mike Maignan out of the squad with a “precautionary rest” and with Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic on the bench, Sassuolo took advantage to go 2-0 up in ten minutes of play, with goals from Andrea Pinamonti and the Frenchman Armand Laurienté.
The Portuguese Rafael Leao reduced the deficit with a great individual action, but Sassuolo increased the score thanks to Laurienté, who five minutes later missed a great opportunity to sign a hat trick and liquidate it. He didn’t and Milan woke up, revived by the tackles of Giroud and Pulisic. The Serbian Luka Jovic scored at 2-3 and the final 3-3 goal came five minutes from time thanks to the Swiss Noah Okafor.
