Original title: Inter's 3-goal derby win secures top spot, first league title in 11 years on the line
The Milan derby is the first time since 2011 that the two teams have played in the top two of the standings, and it's a six-point game for the two teams that are aiming to win the title this season. In addition, Inter Milan are also in a position to take advantage of the fact that the Red and Blacks just played the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League in midweek, and their cup campaign for this season ended after losing the Coppa Italia to Juve.
Soon after the start, Inter Milan gave the Red and Blacks a head start, Lukaku's cross found Lautaro, and the Argentine's header broke through Donnarumma's goal. AC Milan then launched a counterattack, but the blue and black army's defense is still quite good, including two consecutive headers by Ibe were blocked by Handanovic. In the second half, Inter Milan fully demonstrated the essence and power of precise counterattacks, first, they had a series of cooperation, Perisic assisted Lautaro to expand the score, and then it was Lukaku's personal power show, the Belgian finished the breakthrough to kill the game.
In fact, from the statistics after the game, Inter Milan did not have the advantage in many items, such as the ball control rate of only 40.1%, while the success rate of passing is 82% of Inter against 89% of Milan, and the shot on goal of Inter Milan is only slightly ahead of 16-15. However, Inter Milan managed to avenge their loss in the first round of the league through their defensive counter-attacking tactics and their ability to grasp precise chances. More crucially, they are already 4 points ahead of AC Milan in the table, and up to 10 points ahead of Roma, who have one less game to play, and are gradually showing up as champions. In addition, Inter Milan only has one Serie A match left this season, so they can focus all their energy on Serie A. After all, the title is just a few days away from them. After all, the title of this tournament is really far away from them, the last time the blue and black army got the league title was in 2010 when Jose Mourinho was in the period, 11 years later they are expected to fulfill the long-cherished wish.
