Inter win the Derby d’Italia defeating Juventus in the Serie A Week 31 game on Sunday 3 April 2022 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. This is a very important victory for Inter because they reached 63 points remaining alive in the race for the Scudetto with AC Milan and Napoli. A total blow for Juventus losing the home game and practically out of the Scudetto race too.
In the first half, Juventus dominated by hitting a crossbar with Giorgio Chiellini, then in the final minutes of the first fraction the penalty scored by Calhanoglu gave Inter the lead. In the second half, Juventus tried to be dangerous, but Inter closes and defends itself very well looking for restarts.
Juventus have the longest current unbeaten run in Serie A (16 games, W11 D5). Since November 30th, Juventus are one of only two sides in the big-5 European Leagues that have gone unbeaten (also Sevilla – 15 games).
Italian football stands for peace. Before the game, Ukrainian artist Kateryna Pavelenko, who is the lead singer of the band Go_A, team up with Gaia in a rendition of the song ‘Imagine’. Their performance took place on the pitch in front of the players and fans.
Juve and Inter came together ahead of the Derby d’Italia, as Gaia and Kateryna Pavlenko performed John Lennon’s ‘Imagine.’
