Inter Milan will face Napoli in the Italian Super Cup final after comfortably beating Lazio 3- 0 in Friday’s clash in Riyadh. pretensions in each half from Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi and Hakan Calhanoglu’s penalty four twinkles after the break were enough for Serie A leaders Inter to get once Lazio at Al- Awwal Park. Simone Inzaghi’s platoon, the current holders, will now face Napoli on Monday night at the same colosseum after the Italian titleholders beat Fiorentina 3- 0 on Thursday.
“It was a great performance, we had a lot of fun out there, like we have not for a while,” said Nicolo Barella to Mediaset.
“Everyone wanted the ball moment, we had fun and that’s important. it’s taken a lot of work to reach this position of quality.”
Inzaghi now has a chance to win the Super Cup for a record- breaking fifth time in his career.
A palm for Inter on Monday would also give them a third straight Super Cup palm, making them the alternate platoon to complete the chapeau- trick after original rivals AC Milan between 1992 and 1994.
“We approached the game well, the boys played really well. We have got to the final which is what we wanted, now we need to recover in time for the match with Napoli which will be veritably delicate,” said Inzaghi.
Inter have a tight title race with Juventus and the titleholders League last- 16 to contend with in the coming weeks but Inzaghi brought out the big ordnance to shoot down Lazio.
An apathetic- looking Lazio slightly had a kick in a one- sided contest which showed why Inter are favourites to take the Scudetto from Napoli come May.
Inter created a huge number of chances while Barella and Lautaro Martinez both had sweats hit the bar in a dominant display.
Lazio meanwhile will head back to Rome after having not created an opening in front of a largely tepid crowd in the Saudi Arabian capital.
Napoli’s palm over Fiorentina was played out in front of a two- thirds empty ground and while Inter and Lazio had a bigger crowd there was limited enthusiasm from the daises.
This season’s Super Cup in the first to feature four brigades, with the top two in last season’s Serie A and the two Italian Cup finalists querying the event. Know More Latest Football News…
