🗣️ Marotta: "A good training session for the final"

Inter president Beppe Marotta spoke to Sky Sport before the match against Lazio.

"Football is beautiful for its unpredictability. We have an opponent to overcome and then wait for what happens in Parma. It shouldn't be a stressful commitment. It becomes a training session for what will be the final".

He then added to DAZN:

"Starting lineup? We expect a difficult match that can open a serene door like the eventual Scudetto. The slogan to repeat is: 'we are in this moment', now it depends on us and our strength. It's up to us to decide our destiny. The Champions League? It's the cherry on top that we're missing. In 3 years, we've made 2 finals, it's a merit but also a casual and almost unrepeatable fact".

🗣️ Fabiani: "Inter is the strongest in Europe, satisfied with Baroni"

In the pre-match of Inter-Lazio, Lazio's sporting director Angelo Fabiani spoke to SkySport:

"The championship has not yet given any verdict. We know that we are playing our entire season tonight, facing the strongest team in Europe, in my opinion. We are already satisfied with what we've done during the season, both in the league and in the Europa League. We are also quite satisfied with the growth of some players and our coach, who was a gamble for many at the beginning of the year. Instead, he has shown that he can stay in Lazio".

🔥 Counter-attack or Scudetto? The scenarios

The final sprint for the Scudetto is heating up, and today could be the decisive day. Napoli can become champions of Italy already tonight, but everything will depend not only on the result in Parma, where Conte's team must win, but also on what happens at San Siro, where Inter faces Lazio.

The scenarios are multiple: Inter could overtake Napoli if they win and the Partenopei draw or lose, postponing any verdict to the last matchday. If Napoli wins and Inter loses, the Partenopei would celebrate the Scudetto with 90 minutes to spare. A draw for Inter, even with a Napoli win, would not yet close the games: three points would remain, and the specter of a playoff would remain alive.

🖥️ Referee and VAR

The direction of the match has been entrusted to Daniele Chiffi of the Padua section, assisted by Meli and Alassio, with Marcenaro as the fourth official and Di Paolo-Guida at VAR.

Inter has a positive record with this referee: 10 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in 17 previous matches. Lazio's record is even more favorable: 8 wins and 3 losses in 11 games directed by
