Enzo Bucchioni, in his editorial for TMW, analyzed the Milan derby this way:
“Allegri did well to shut down Inter’s wide players by sacrificing Saelemaekers to mark Di Marco, who perhaps had his worst match of the year. He also focused play mainly on the left side, targeting the weaknesses of Luis Henrique."
Bucchioni continued to talk about the Milan derby:
"With no outlets on the wings and two center-forwards like Bonny and Pio Esposito, who do not link up play the way Lautaro or Thuram do, and with little off-the-ball movement, Inter struggled to find rhythm and attacking solutions. The usual predictable diesel engine.”
