Inter-Juve: the precedents of the Italian derby from ’98 to today

An Italian derby between the top two in the class and in the second round, when the points matter more: an event for our football. On Sunday evening the two rivals will compete at San Siro with just one point between them in the standings: Inzaghi +1 over Allegri, with a game in hand. If apparently the dualism between Inter and Juventus seems to be a constant in Serie A, reality tells us that a direct high-altitude clash between the two super rivals doesn’t happen that often. To be clear: the last time dates back to 15 years ago, the 2008/09 season, with José Mourinho on the bench on one side and Claudio Ranieri on the other. In the era of three points for a win, only on five occasions did Juve and Inter meet in the second round while occupying the first two positions in the table: here’s how it went. And we start with the match that more than any other represents the Juventus and Blues rivalry.
