Things started promisingly for Antonio Conte’s side as Lautaro Martinez gave Inter the lead after some good work from Alexis Sanchez and Nico Barella. However, Juventus slowly started to work their way into the match and they were awarded a penalty after a VAR check in the 26th minute.Cristiano Ronaldo made no mistake from the spot to level things.
Just a few minutes later, the Portuguese superstar showed his class as he made the most of a horrible Inter mixup to finish clinically from a tight angle.
Speaking after the game to reporters, Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo praised his side’s reaction after going behind:
Cristiano Ronaldo was taken off in the 77th minute after his wonderful brace and looked displeased with the decision. However, Andrea Pirlo defended it and praised his Juventus squad as a ‘squad full of champions’:
Juventus will look to draw inspiration from this game and put in a similar performance when they take on Roma in the Serie A on Saturday. Inter, on the other hand, will be determined to bounce back quickly and hit back in the second leg of this tie.
