Final result: Roma-Inter 0-1
Roma’s report cards – Edited by Paolo Lora Lamia
Svilar 6.5 – Immediately called into action, rejecting a shot from Thuram. Overall it is the best of his, for several other interventions especially in the second half.
Left-handed 6 – Solid performance, in an area of the pitch where Inter showed off with several players. More enterprising after the break.
N’Dicka 6 – The best of his in the first 45 minutes. Whether against Thuram, Lautaro or other Inter opponents, he is unlikely to be blown away. His performance, also considering the recovery, is sufficient.
Angelino 6 – He acts as a left-hand man, but doesn’t mind pushing in his own lane. To be honest, mainly in the first part of the race. From 79′ Hermoso sv.
Celik 5 – He doesn’t push consistently, having to face Dimarco who is repeatedly supported by Bastoni with his advances. Negative protagonist in the action that decides the match, having the ball stolen by Lautaro.
Kone 5.5 – Energy and dynamism in the middle of the field at the start, and then declines. He exits after a not particularly exciting start to the second half. From 53′ Pisilli 5.5 – The desire is there on the part of the young talent, but it is not accompanied on several occasions by a certain precision in his plays.
Cristante 6 – He doesn’t save on closures, taking a risk on Thuram in the first half of the game. Median-ordered test. From 79′ Le Fee sv.
Zalewski 4.5 – Good push on the left, in a performance stained indelibly by poor ball management, giving way to Lautaro’s goal. From 72′ Baldanzi 5.5 – It should give new energy to the Roma attack in view of the final, but it fails in its aim.
Pilgrims 6 – The Roma captain responded best to criticism, proving to be the most dangerous of his team in the first half. Less positive after the break, but not among the most in the shade.
Dybala 6 – Generous match from the Argentine, who stands out almost more when not in possession than for his offensive direction. Unlucky on goal, with a deflection that contributed to Svilar’s loss. From 79′ Soulé sv.
Dovbyk 5.5 – The center forward doesn’t have many balls at his disposal in the area, but those he does have he doesn’t exploit properly like the one sent with a header to the back from a good position in the second half.
Ivan Juric 5.5 – Defensively, an encouraging performance in a match in which a couple of individual errors proved fatal. There is a lot to do, however, in terms of danger.
Inter’s report cards – Edited by Ivan Cardia
Summer 6.5 – He gives his fans a couple of thrills with his feet, but he’s fine with it. The post saved him after a blunder on a cross from Pellegrini, who was attentive on other occasions: at the end of the show, he took home his third clean sheet of this championship also with a decisive save in the ninety-third minute.
Pavard 6 – Diligent in the defensive phase, he puts in pieces and for one evening he even helps more than the neighbor opposite in maneuvering.
Unripe 6 – The all-centimeter duel with Dovbyk lasts less than half an hour, then he raises the white flag due to a problem in his left thigh. Fingers crossed for Appiano Gentile. (From the 27th minute De Vrij 6.5 – The Ukrainian tames him and even closes some gaps that open around him).
Sticks 6 – He loudly asks for greater involvement from his teammates, which does not arrive: a strange evening, from this point of view. All calm in the defensive phase. (From 71′ Bisseck 6 – Muscles to secure the three points).
Darmian 6 – Just before leaving the field he was caught by Zalewski and also received a yellow card. Over there, Roma push and he gets crushed. (From 71′ Dumfries 6.5 – He enters well and comes close to scoring.)
Stretcher 6 – He returns to the starting line-up and immediately discovers a new role: tested during the week in the midfield emergency, directing may be within his grasp but he is not used to managing traffic from there and it shows. Yellow for protests was avoidable, an old vice that seemed abandoned.
Calhanoglu sv The match begins and he starts limping, after ten minutes he asks for a substitution. Inter anxious for the next ones. (From the 11th minute Frattesi 7 – Called into action coldly, he puts out a great race. No goals or insertions, but the quality and quantity that he needs to climb the hierarchies under investigation: Lautaro’s goal comes from him, Thuram also sends us into goal).
Mkhitaryan 6.5 – In these parts he “learned” his current role: he starts strong and even finds the barrier. Then, lots of wood. Quality, still wood.
Dimarco 6 – Fresh from a super break, he runs on the wing without plowing it. Reserve light on from 70′ onwards.
Thuram 7 – His attempts put the opposing rearguard in difficulty and would also deserve Cristante’s expulsion. In many ways, better than the teammate below, who also scores.
Lautaro 6.5 – The thrust that unlocks the match is inevitably the highlight of his evening. The usual precious work for comrades, both dirty and clean. With a few too many errors: he also risks starting a potentially lethal opponent offside. (From the 71st minute Correa 6 – He enters for dirty games and dramas: he doesn’t disappoint).
Simone Inzaghi 7 – When he loses Calhanoglu and Acerbi within half an hour, it seems like a bad evening. He holds it, keeps pace with Napoli and Juventus, in the final there is even a vote for the catenaccio: not easy, and therefore worth rewarding, for those who have a declared objective in the beautiful game.
