  • After the goalless first half, Juventus midfielder Ramsey pounced onto a loose ball before firing home the opener.
  • Paulo Dybala was brought into the attack by Sarri at 59th minute, he scored a classy second, from Ramsey’s pass dodging three Inter players including Ashley Young before striking the back of the net from 15 yards. 

What the Scoreboard won’t tell

  • As per government decree, all the matches will be played in the empty stadium until April 3, due to health concern.
  • While coming out of team bus, Cristiano Ronaldo pretended to high-five where fans would have been standing on the way into the stadium. But he failed to score for the first time in Serie A since November 10 2019. 
  • For Inter Milan, today’s match was their last before European Championship engagement against Getafe at San Siro and to be played behind the closed door. Juve will play against Lyon at home in UEFA Champions League Round-of -16.

Post Match

We considered it with the staff yesterday, because starting with Juan Cuadrado in the trident meant leaving Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa out. Starting with Douglas allowed us to have both options and Dybala proved a very important card we could whip out at the right time.

Maurizio Sarri , Juventus Manager on Combination for the match

This is an important victory, but there are still 12 games to go, so it’s a long road ahead. This was far more what I wanted to see from my Juventus… We had seemed a little empty and flat recently, so we had to choose players who could guarantee more energy, both physical and psychological. That’s the sensation we got in training from these players, but that can change in a couple of weeks.

Gonzalo Higuain played with sacrifice, tried to do defensive work to stop the ball getting to Marcelo Brozovic and naturally that took a lot out of him. When Paulo comes on at those moments of a match, he can be devastating.

After the first goal. I think the game was very even, we started better in the second half. We were in control of the situation, then Ramsey’s goal changed the game on a psychological level. They grew up, we suffered this goal without being able to recover.
