Inter has a superior head-to-head performance over Juve this season, as it managed two wins and one draw in the Serie A and Supercoppa against its archrival. The Bianconeri needed a win to avoid finishing the season without a trophy, while the Nerazzurri is still fighting for a domestic treble.

Inter took the lead just seven minutes into the game when Nicolo Barella cut inside from the left to unleash a missile with both power and precision.

Juve turned the game around just two minutes after the break with Alex Sandro's equalizer and Dusan Vlahovic's follow-up.

Conflicts were sparked later on the sideline between Juve's coach Massimiliano Allegri and Inter's coaching staff, which ended up with Allegri's red card.

"I have the honor of sharing this journey with the team, the staff and everyone who works behind the scenes on a daily basis," said Zhang Kangyang, president of Inter Milan.

"This trophy is another piece of Inter's history, but our season doesn't finish here. We must keep fighting to the very last minute," he added.
