Internazionale outclassed
Juventus on Sunday night in a 2-0 victory to strike a significant blow in the title race
It was a weekend that promised fireworks. Lazio against Roma on Friday night, and Internazionale hosting Juventus on Sunday: a derby that defines Italy’s capital city, leading into a game that has long been billed as the Derby d’Italia – a derby for all of
Italy.
The stakes in both games were high. Lazio, after leapfrogging Roma last season to qualify for the
Champions League for the first time in more than a decade, were at risk of being cut adrift from the top four in this campaign. Eighth in the table, they trailed their neighbours by six points.
