When the final whistle went, allowing Simone Inzaghi to charge the field at last, it felt as though we had entered a new chapter
Simone Inzaghi finished Sunday night with a torn pair of trousers. The Lazio manager had been in perpetual motion through the final minutes of Lazio’s game against Inter, running the touchline with such bellicose vigour that you half expected him to leap into a sliding challenge at any moment. When a ball came out to Milan Skriniar on the near side of the pitch, Inzaghi was quicker to him than any defender.
Lazio were on the cusp of another landmark victory in a season that has known a few. Inzaghi’s team beat Juventus 3-1 twice in the space of 15 days at the end of 2019, the second of those landing them the Supercoppa. They won 11 consecutive league games from October into January, shattering the club record of nine.
JOYOUS SCENES AT THE OLIMPICO!
Lazio hold on to beat Inter 2-1!
20 years on from their last Serie A title, could this be the year for the Biancocelesti?
