Juventus and Inter Milan delivered another enthralling chapter of the Derby d’Italia as the Bianconeri emerged 4-3 winners in a pulsating encounter. The result extended Juventus’ fine start to the season and underlined their ability to prevail in high-stakes contests.
Matches between these two rivals rarely disappoint, and this latest meeting lived up to expectations. Both sides approached the game with attacking intent, creating a spectacle defined by momentum swings, goals of quality, and late drama.
First-Half Fireworks
Juventus struck the opening blow less than fifteen minutes into the match when Lloyd Kelly converted after an intelligent pass from Gleison Bremer. The early breakthrough delighted the home supporters but also sparked Inter into life. The visitors responded by increasing their intensity, pressing high and looking to exploit wide areas with crosses and forward runs.
Their persistence was rewarded on the half-hour mark as Hakan Çalhanoğlu fired home the equaliser, bringing the game to life and reminding Juventus that Inter remained a constant threat. Yet Bremer continued to influence proceedings, turning provider once more with a precise delivery that Kenan Yildiz finished clinically just before half-time, restoring Juve’s advantage at the interval.
A Dramatic Second Half
The second half saw both sides commit numbers forward in search of the next decisive moment. Çalhanoğlu again delivered for Inter, levelling the scoreline with his second of the evening. The contest then tilted in the visitors’ favour when Marcus Thuram put them ahead for the first time, fuelling hopes of an away victory.
That optimism was short-lived, however, as his brother Khephren Thuram struck only minutes later, heading Juventus back on level terms and adding another twist to the derby narrative. With the game finely poised, Igor Tudor made attacking substitutions, signalling his intent to chase all three points rather than settle for another draw reminiscent of last season’s 4-4 thriller.
The decision paid off when substitutes combined for the winning goal. Jonathan David, full of energy after coming on, set up Vasilije Adžić, who calmly applied the finish to secure Juventus’ dramatic 4-3 triumph.
This latest Derby d’Italia reinforced the intensity of the rivalry and provided Juventus with another valuable boost in their pursuit of early-season momentum. Both teams showcased their attacking talent, but it was Juve’s resilience and depth that ultimately made the difference.

Victory is ours, but if the team repeats this cowardly, Allegri’s “park the bus” style of play, the shameful 30% possession, I won’t watch any more Juventus games this year.
Allegri was fired for this game because everyone was fed up with it.
We didn’t sign 2 goal-sensitive strikers just to defend the entire game and watch Vlahovics suffer.
The fans have had enough of this in recent years. I know the saying that winning is all that matters, but not only have we not won anything in the last 5 years, but we haven’t had a good performance either. Now we want a normal game, not this underdog shit.
I think Tudor knew that Inter was just much better so he did not want to try and outplay them, instead capitalizing on their mistakes, which worked well. The issues was the Tudor`s bus sat to deep and absorbed to many dangerous shots with a couple of them going in and the plan was failing until the 80 minute when he had changed the plan and threw players forward. So in my humble opinion, if he is to park the bus, park it Allergri style. The team lacks creativity, and have none other than Yildiz. A proper partner to Thuram would be much needed. I think Tudor will continue to be very pragmatic, especially against greater oposition given the lack of players who can control the ball, and I believe he is right to play like that, allthough Juve must create more in open play to keep up winning games against lesser oponents.
Before the goal, this is the first time Azdic gave me a bit sophisticated feeling, like Huijsen’s first debut. Seems he did improve a lot. And then came the goal
Hope the goal give him more chance and confidence.
Yesterday’s game showed a spark of life and desire to win games. Always gonna be tricky encounter against Inter, but for the resilience enabling creativity and focus… Thumbs up Bianconeri.
