Serie A Week 11 - 3/11/2012 (08:45 p.m.) 1 - 3 Arturo Vidal (1′) Diego Alberto Milito (59′-Penalty) Diego Alberto Milito (76′) Rodrigo Palacio (89′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Attendance: 38000 Inter stun Juventus Inter Milan brought an end to Juventus' 49-game unbeaten run in Serie A with a 3-1 victory at the Juventus Stadium, where the Bianconeri had never lost a game before. Nov 3, 2012 Arturo Vidal's goal after 19 seconds served only to inspire Inter, who turned the game around in the second half to move to within a point of Juve at the top of the table. Diego Milito was on target twice for Andrea Stramaccioni's side before Rodrigo Palacio sealed Inter's seventh win in a row in the last minute. Juve needed just 19 seconds to go ahead against the Nerazzurri although, like at Catania a fortnight ago, questions will be asked of an absent linesman's flag. Kwadwo Asamoah was beyond the last Inter defender when he received the ball from Claudio Marchisio's touch, and it was his low cross which was met by Vidal at the far post to put the home team in front Juve tried to provide justification for their lead with Marchisio twice being denied by Samir Handanovic after delightful passes from Andrea Pirlo picked him out inside the penalty area. The linesman's flag was raised at the other end of the field to rule out Palacio's headed goal after he met Esteban Cambiasso's quickly taken free-kick in the 12th minute. Antonio Cassano then curled a shot just inches wide of the post as Inter pushed for an equaliser, but it was the home team who almost grabbed a second before the break when Vidal pounced on a loose ball on the edge of the area, but his low shot was saved by Handanovic. Inter came out fighting at the start of the second half with Palacio shooting into the side-netting from a tight angle having rounded Gianluigi Buffon. A well-worked free-kick caught Juve out in the 59th minute with Marchisio resorting to tugging the shirt of Milito to prevent him from getting in a shot, but by doing so he gave away a penalty. Milito stepped up to the spot to bring Inter level with a shot just beyond the reach of Buffon. Inter took the lead in the 75th minute when substitute Fredy Guarin's shot was parried by Buffon to Milito, who beat the despairing lunge of Leonardo Bonucci to score his and Inter's second. The Bianconeri sent everybody forward in search of an equaliser, but Nicklas Bendtner curled a shot from the goal line beyond the far post of an open goal. Palacio then finished Juve off, completing a swift counter-attack after Juve committed too many men forward to end Juve's unbeaten run. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 11 - 3/11/2012 (08:45 p.m.) 1 - 3 Arturo Vidal (1′) Diego Alberto Milito (59′-Penalty) Diego Alberto Milito (76′) Rodrigo Palacio (89′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Attendance: 38000 Inter victory ends Juventus record! Inter overcame a controversial goal after 18 seconds and potential red card to end Juventus’ 49-match unbeaten record with a shock 3-1 result in Turin! Nov 3, 2012 This was a contentious clash that saw a Bianconeri goal that should’ve been disallowed and Stephan Lichtsteiner spared a second yellow card, but Diego Milito’s brace completed a remarkable comeback for Juve’s first ever defeat at the Juventus Stadium. This Derby d’Italia was also a top of the table showdown between first and second with neither side pulling punches. Andrea Stramaccioni was without Wesley Sneijder, Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Stankovic, Cristian Chivu, Jonathan and Joel Obi, but went for it with a 3-4-3 system led by the all-star trident. Juve welcomed back Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio from suspension and injury respectively. Something had to give, as Juve had won all their Serie A home games while Inter had a 100 per cent record on their travels and were coming off eight consecutive victories in all competition. It could not have possibly been a better start for Juventus, as Kwadwo Asamoah ran on to a Mirko Vucinic pass – when offside – and rolled across for Vidal to prod into an empty net at the back post. Only 18 seconds had elapsed in Turin. It was so nearly 2-0 at the fourth minute, as Vucinic just failed to make contact with the Sebastian Giovinco ball across the face of goal. Andrea Pirlo’s inspired ball over the top found Marchisio clear on goal and his volley was beaten away from point-blank range by Samir Handanovic. Inter emerged from their shells and Esteban Cambiasso fired over, then Rodrigo Palacio had the ball in the net but was marginally offside when going to get the header off a quickly-taken Cambiasso free kick. Antonio Cassano curled inches wide of the far post from a poorly-cleared corner as the visitors began to see much more of the ball. More controversy on 34 minutes when Stephan Lichtsteiner, who had already been booked, avoided a second yellow card for a completely mistimed tackle on Palacio. Despite the Inter protests, the Swiss winger was allowed to stay on the field. Moments later Vidal gathered just inside the box and was cleanly challenged by Juan Jesus. Aware of the risk Lichtsteiner was running, Angelo Alessio wisely replaced him with Martin Caceres. Giovinco got to the by-line but pulled back into Handanovic’s arms, then the goalkeeper had to palm a looping Asamoah deflected cross over the bar. In first half stoppages Vidal went clear when intercepting a pass that Yuto Nagatomo left, but Handanovic beat away the powerful finish. Vucinic needed treatment for a calf problem in the first half and didn’t come out for the second, making way for Nicklas Bendtner. Leonardo Bonucci had a rare shot on goal, as he was allowed to progress through the middle without being pressured and unleashed a strike that Handanovic beat away. Palacio got to the by-line and Gigi Buffon came for it, but the angle was too narrow and he hit the side-netting. Milito sparked a counter-attack with three against two, but Palacio fired over the bar. Play was halted for a few moments as goal line referee Orsato was hit in the back of the neck by an object thrown from the stands, but it resumed after a few seconds. It looked to be a rolled up piece of card with sellotape to make it into a ball. Nagatomo burst in-between two defenders to latch on to a Cassano pass down the left and stung Buffon’s palms at the near post. From a Cassano free kick moments later, Marchisio dragged back Milito’s shirt as he was about to pull the trigger and the goal line official awarded the penalty. Il Principe got back up to successfully convert, lifting it powerfully above Buffon at the near post for his first goal in an Inter jersey against Juventus. Handanovic punched away a Pirlo free kick and Giovinco had penalty appeals when he sprinted past one defender and fell under pressure from Walter Gargano, but the referee did not consider it to be a powerful enough contact on his shoulder. The Inter goalkeeper plucked a cross off the head of Bendtner, then Juan Jesus made a crucial intervention in midfield to stop Vidal completing a dangerous Juve counter-attack. The Nerazzurri could’ve taken the lead on 74 minutes when Palacio got away from Giorgio Chiellini and rolled across for Milito, who only got a touch under pressure from Andrea Barzagli, then it kept going for Cambiasso and a decisive last-ditch Caceres tackle managed to block his shot. Inter’s tails were up and they completed the comeback with a second from Milito. Substitute Fredy Guarin surged forward through the middle and forced Buffon into a save with his angled drive, but Milito was first to the rebound and fired him at the back post. Juve were on the verge of losing their 49-match unbeaten Serie A run and replaced substitute Caceres with striker Fabio Quagliarella. Milito made way for Gaby Mudingayi, as Inter shored up the midfield. Handanovic fingertipped a Pirlo screamer round the upright, but Gargano’s poor backpass was intercepted by Bendtner who tried to curl it in from the by-line, but could not get it on target from the tightest of angles. Quagliarella hit a fierce snapshot wide, but as Juve poured forward they allowed Nagatomo to go on the counter and he smartly put a through ball in for Palacio. Buffon got an elbow to it, but not enough to keep it out of the empty net. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner (Caceres 38) (Quagliarella 78), Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Giovinco, Vucinic (Bendtner 46) Inter: Handanovic; Ranocchia, Samuel, Juan Jesus; Zanetti, Gargano, Cambiasso, Nagatomo; Palacio, Cassano (Guarin 69); Milito (Mudingayi 80) Ref: Tagliavento http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 11 - 3/11/2012 (08:45 p.m.) 1 - 3 Arturo Vidal (1′) Diego Alberto Milito (59′-Penalty) Diego Alberto Milito (76′) Rodrigo Palacio (89′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Attendance: 38000‎ Milito and Palacio end champions' unbeaten run The Nerazzurri responded wonderfully well to the shock of conceding a goal to Arturo Vidal after just 19 seconds, to claim their ninth successive win in all competitions. Nov 3, 2012 Inter underlined their Scudetto credentials by coming from behind to defeat Juventus 3-1 in Turin, a win that ended their opponents' 49-game unbeaten run. The Nerazzurri had found themselves a goal down after just 19 seconds, with Arturo Vidal turning in Kwadwo Asamoah's shot-cum-cross. However, Inter maintained their composure and more than played their part in an absorbing first-half, before taking control of proceedings after the interval. The visitors deservedly drew level just before the hour mark courtesy of a penalty from Diego Milito and the Argentine struck again with just 15 minutes remaining after following up Fredy Guarin's drive. Juventus went in search of an equaliser, but they were punished for pouring forward when Rodrigo Palacio stabbed the ball home, to secure a victory which saw Inter reduce the Bianconeri's lead at the summit of Serie A to a solitary point. The hosts could not have hoped for a better start to such an important fixture, stunning the in-form Nerazzurri with a goal inside the opening 20 seconds. Mirko Vucinic and Sebastian Giovinco exchanged passes in midfield before the former slipped the ball through for Asamoah. The Ghanaian was offside, but the flagged stayed down and the former Udinese man benefited from another huge stroke of luck when his awfully wayward attempt on goal was calmly turned in by Vidal at the back post. Credit to Inter, they responded well to such a devastating early setback, with Esteban Cambiasso, ably supported by Palacio, leading the backlash. However, Andrea Stramaccioni’s side would have fallen further behind seven minutes in, had Samir Handanovic not produced a wonderful reaction save to deny Claudio Marchisio, who had met Andrea Pirlo’s sublime through ball on the volley. As it was, Inter continued to press and they thought they had claimed a deserved equaliser when Palacio nodded home a Cambiasso free kick from wide on the right. However, the striker was deemed fractionally offside, which felt harsh given the nature of the game’s opening goal. Inter could not find a break, which was underlined again when Antonio Cassano unleashed a terrific curling effort from the edge of the area, only to see the ball drift just wide of the far post with Gianluigi Buffon beaten all ends up. The Nerazzurri should also have been given a helping hand shortly before the break when Stephan Lichsteiner - already on a booking for jumping into Cambiasso - floored Palacio with a horribly reckless challenge. The Swiss escaped with a stern warning, though, and that enabled Juventus to ensure they reached the interval with their lead intact and 11 men still on the field - with Lichsteiner replaced by Martin Caceres almost immediately. The Bianconeri made another change during the break, sending Nicklas Bendtner on in place of Vucinic, but it was Inter who looked the more likely to score next, with Palacio blazing over after being slipped in on goal by Diego Milito, before Yuto Nagatomo drew a decent save out of Buffon after cutting in from the left wing. An equaliser felt inevitable if Inter’s luck would only turn, and it did on 59 minutes when the officials did wonderfully well to spot Marchisio’s slight tug on Milito in the area. The hosts were incensed but the Argentine did not care and he converted the resulting spot-kick with aplomb to finally draw his side level. The momentum was now all with Inter and they silenced Juventus Stadium when Milito struck again in the 75th minute, firing past Buffon after the goalkeeper had failed to parry Guarin's well-struck drive to safety. Led by Andrea Pirlo, the home side tried to rally, but they were stung on the counterattack in the final minute of normal time. Palacio controlled Nagatomo's clever through ball before prodding it past Buffon, to put the seal on Inter's eighth successive win in all competitions. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A - Week 11 - 3-11-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Line-ups: Juventus-Inter Nov 3, 2012 Tonight it’s the Derby d’Italia and a top of the table showdown in Turin with Mirko Vucinic-Sebastian Giovinco against Rodrigo Palacio-Diego Milito-Antonio Cassano. Something’s got to give this evening in the 19.45 GMT kick-off at the Juventus Stadium, as Juve have won all of their home games in Serie A and Inter have a 100 per cent record on their travels. Vucinic has a good record against the Nerazzurri and his partner is Giovinco, while Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal return from injury and suspension respectively. Inter have a lengthy injury list with Philippe Coutinho, Wesley Sneijder, Dejan Stankovic, Joel Obi, MacDonald Mariga, Cristian Chivu and Jonathan. There were also reports today that Walter Samuel and Andrea Ranocchia were carrying muscular problems. Coach Andrea Stramaccioni had been expected to mirror Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 system, leaving Cassano on the bench in favour of an all-Argentine front two of Palacio and Milito. However, the youngest tactician in Serie A sticks with his 3-4-3 system and the impressive trident in Turin, leaving Fredy Guarin on the bench. Juventus: 1 Buffon; 15 Barzagli, 19 Bonucci, 3 Chiellini; 26 Lichtsteiner, 23 Vidal, 21 Pirlo, 8 Marchisio, 22 Asamoah; 12 Giovinco, 9 Vucinic Juventus bench: 30 Storari, 2 Lucio, 4 Caceres, 6 Pogba, 11 De Ceglie, 17 Bendtner, 20 Padoin, 24 Giaccherini, 27 Quagliarella, 32 Matri, 33 Isla, 39 Marrone Inter: 1 Handanovic; 23 Ranocchia, 25 Samuel, 40 Juan Jesus; 4 Zanetti, 21 Gargano, 19 Cambiasso, 55 Nagatomo; 8 Palacio, 99 Cassano; 22 Milito Inter bench: 12 Castellazzi, 27 Belec, 6 Silvestre, 11 Alvarez, 14 Guarin, 16 Mudingayi, 31 Pereira, 33 Mbaye, 41 Duncan, 88 Livaja http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 11 - 3/11/2012 (08:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento TEAM NEWS: Cambiasso returns for Inter against much-changed Juventus Nerazzurri boss Andrea Stramaccioni has named an attacking line-up for the top-of-the-table encounter, with Rodrigo Palacio, Antonio Cassano and Diego Milito all selected. Nov 3, 2012 Esteban Cambiasso has been included in the Inter starting 11 for Saturday night's mouth-watering Derby d'Italia clash with Juventus in Turin. The Argentine replaces Gaby Mudingayi in the Nerazzurri midfield after being restricted to the role of substitute for Wednesday night's win over Sampdoria. There are also recalls for Yuto Nagatomo, who takes over from Alvaro Pereira on the left-hand side, and Juan Jesus, who replaces Fredy Guarin as Inter revert to three at the back. The Bianconeri, meanwhile, make a total of seven changes in personnel to the side that scraped past Bologna in midweek. Giorgio Chiellini returns alongside Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci at the back, while Martin Caceres and Paolo De Ceglie make way for Stephan Lichtsteiner and Kwadwo Asamoah respectively on the flanks. Paul Pogba's heroics against the Rossoblu were not enough to secure him a place in the starting lineup, with Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio recalled to the midfield. Finally, Sebastian Giovinco and Mirko Vucinic are preferred to Nicklas Bendtner and Fabio Quagliarella in attack. Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Vucinic, Giovinco. Subs: Storari, Caceres, Lucio, Isla, Marrone, De Ceglie, Padoin, Pogba, Giaccherini, Bendtner, Quagliarella, Matri.

In mediana dubbio Guarin-Mudingayi. Nella Juve torna Marchisio. Nov 3, 2012 PROBABILI FORMAZIONI JUVENTUSBuffon Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah Vucinic, Giovinco INTER Handanovic Silvestre, Samuel, Ranocchia Zanetti, Guarin, Gargano, Cambiasso, Nagatomo Palacio, Milito QUI JUVENTUS Dopo l'abbondante turnover fatto contro il Bologna proprio in ottica Inter, nel big match con i nerazzurri Antonio Conte mette in campo tutti i 'titolarissimi', potendo contare sull'intera rosa a disposizione. Lichtsteiner e Asamoah saranno gli stantuffi sulle fasce, Vucinic e Giovinco (favorito su Quagliarella e Bendtner) la coppia d'attacco. In mediana rientrerà Marchisio, anche se il prodigioso Pogba ammirato nelle ultime partite tenta non poco Conte... QUI INTER Stramaccioni deve ancora rinunciare ai lungodegenti Stankovic, Chivu e Sneijder (oltre all'ultima tegola Coutinho), ed ha certamente molti più dubbi del collega juventino. Il rientro di Juan Jesus dovrebbe significare il ritorno alla difesa a 3, ma è tra centrocampo ed attacco che il tecnico nerazzurro ha maggiore incertezza nelle scelte. In mezzo il dubbio è tra Guarin e Mudingayi. Davanti sembra ormai certa la rinuncia ad uno tra Cassano e Palacio, con l'ex Genoa favorito come partner di Milito. L'ULTIMA SFIDA 25/03/2012, Juventus-Inter 2-0: Del Piero mette l'ultimo sigillo IL MOMENTO Sabato sera si affrontano due squadre che scoppiano di salute, divorando entrambe strisce record. Ormai c'è poco da aggiungere a quanto già detto sulla Juve di Conte, che vorrebbe portare proprio contro i nerazzurri la propria imbattibilità in campionato alla cifra tonda di 50 match. Dall'altra parte c'è uno Stramaccioni che - arrivato a 8 come Trapattoni - ha messo nel mirino le 13 vittorie consecutive di Mancini, l'unico che ormai gli è rimasto davanti... PERCHE' GUARDARLA Perchè è il 'Derby d'Italia, la classica delle classiche nei nostri confini, perchè è la sfida tra prima e seconda in classifica, due squadre che coniugano determinazione e spettacolo, perchè è una partita a scacchi tra due tecnici ritenuti tra i migliori esempi della capacità del calcio italiano di rinnovarsi, perchè Moratti pagherebbe di tasca sua per interrompere proprio in casa degli acerrimi rivali la striscia di imbattibilità della Vecchia Signora, perchè gli strascichi di Calciopoli sono ancora là... serve altro?

Serie A - 11^ Giornata - Andata - 3-11-2012 (ore 20:45) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Arbitro: Paolo Tagliavento Vucinic-Milito e i tabù da sfatare Il montenegrino ancora a secco allo 'Stadium' in questa stagione, Milito a caccia del primo goal alla Juventus da interista. Nov 3, 2012 Alla Juventus manca il top player, è questo il leit motiv di casa bianconera da un anno e mezzo a questa parte. In realtà però nella rosa di Conte un giocatore con le doti per esserlo top player ci sarebbe. Stiamo ovviamente parlando di Mirko Vucinic. Il montenegrino ha estro, qualità, carisma: tutto per meritare la definizione, sin qui esclusiva di obiettivi perduti. A difettare è soltanto un filo di continuità, una partita magica che lo sbatta in copertina. Il match in programma stasera contro l'Inter può essere la sua grande occasione. Trascinare la squadra, per dimostrare che i rimpianti di mercato sono superati, e per ribadire nella partita più sentita una preziosità mostrata solo a tratti. Di Vucinic, paradossalmente, si comprende appieno l'importanza quando è fuori. Quando gioca capita che s'estranei fino a ingannare chi si ferma alle apparenze. L’indolenza appartiene infatti al suo dna, vive da sempre di pause e fiammate talentuose, alla Juve però spesso non sparisce, semplicemente si sacrifica e lavora per la squadra. Non è un caso se il montenegrino è l'unico punto fermo del reparto che offre meno certezze: l'attacco appunto. E comunque, malgrado tutto, il ragazzo ha segnato gia quattro goal in tredici partite, ci cui solo otto giocate dal primo minuto, che sono pochi in assoluto, ma non in una squadra che non contempla bomber classici, dove le punte devono collaborare alla manovra e al tiro s'alternano tutti. Il parziale del campionato, due appena i centri realizzati in Italia, impone in ogni caso uno sforzo: Mirko, pur interpretando bene i dettami tattici e quindi defilandosi a tratti dall'area, può e deve fare di più. I tifosi aspettano l'ulteriore salto di qualità e l'appuntamento di stasera è ideale per spiccarlo, contro l'Inter prima sfidante per lo scudetto e che tuttavia, se battuta, potrebbe scivolare a -7. Mirko oltretutto deve sfatare un altro tabù. Il numero nove bianconero infatti non festeggia un gol allo Stadium in Serie A dal 15 gennaio, e quando ha segnato lui a Torino la Juve non ha mai vinto, nemmeno in Coppa Italia: col Milan finì 2-2. Ecco perché serve una notte che spazzi via ogni tabù, che tiri una riga sul passato, che proietti il montenegrino in un'altra dimensione. Dall'altra parte del campo, pronto a sfidare a suon di goal e giocate il puntero bianconero ecco Diego Milito. Al bomber argentino è rimasta solo la Juventus. Delle dicannove squadre che, oltre all’Inter, partecipano all’attuale campionato di serie A, solo a quella bianconera Milito non è mai riuscito a segnare da quando è sbarcato in nerazzurro. Lo ha fatto solo da centravanti del Genoa, ormai ben quattro anni fa. Era il 13 novembre 2008 quando rese appena più lieve una sconfitta a Torino: firmò la rete dell’1-3 quasi allo scadere, poco prima che Sokratis aggiungesse l'autogol dell’1-4 conclusivo. Inutile nascondere come, in generale, non sia particolarmente positiva la tradizione del Principe contro la Juventus. Da interista, infatti, Milito ha affrontato la Vecchia Signora altre quattro volte, ed è riuscito a spuntarla solo in un'occasione a San Siro, il 16 aprile 2010, nella stagione del Triplete, grazie all’uno-due di Maicon ed Eto'o. Da aggiungere, poi, un pareggio per 0-0, sempre a Milano, e per completare il quadro altre 2 sconfitte in trasferta. In ogni caso, Stramaccioni non si farà certo condizionare da precedenti e scaramanzie assortite. Il Principe sbucherà dal tunnel dello 'Juventus Stadium' per cominciare la gara da titolare, come del resto ha sempre fatto nelle prime dieci giornate del torneo. Anzi, dell’organico nerazzurro, insieme a Ranocchia, è stato l'unico ad aver beneficiato di questo trattamento e, soprattutto, di questa fiducia. Insomma, per Stramaccioni, sono loro due gli intoccabili, con Handanovic fuori contro Pescara e Roma solo perché in fase di recupero dall’intervento al menisco. Su Milito il tecnico Stramaccioni ha puntato senza la minima incertezza, sia nello scorcio finale dell’ultimo campionato, e sia d’estate, quando si è trattato di impostare la nuova squadra. Anche per questo motivo è stato sacrificato Pazzini. Una scelta che finora sta dando i sui frutti sotto tutti i punti di vista: quello dei goal, cen cinque finora, e quello degli assist, sei, meglio pure di Cassano. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A - Week 11 - 3-11-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Milito tackles Juve taboo Diego Milito has had plenty of success in an Inter jersey, but Adam Scime notes he just can’t seem to score past Juventus… Nov 3, 2012 Diego Milito has been at the heart of Serie A success, Champions League glory and other trophies for Inter – but scoring against Juventus appears to be a taboo. Inter have often come short in recent seasons when facing the team from Turin. With another impending Derby d’Italia fixture tonight, the South American footballer has yet to arrive at a certain destination on his journey – he has never breached Juventus’ defence while sporting a black-and-blue kit. Milito recently played his 100th Serie A game for Inter, scoring in the process in a 3-1 victory over Bologna last weekend. Arriving at the club in the summer of 2009, the veteran striker has played in 150 official games and found the back of the net 71 times, an imposing ratio of 0.47 goals per match or nearly a goal in every two appearances. However, the ability to beat goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Co has constantly eluded him, despite runs of impressive form, since he made San Siro his home. The two teams have met seven times – six in Serie A and once in the Coppa Italia – with Il Principe featuring in five of those matches, but he has been unable to put one past their eternal rivals. Even when you consider the Trofeo TIM preseason tournaments, which involve 45-minute matches between Inter, Juventus and Milan, the Argentine has only damaged Juve in the event of a post-match penalty shoot-out to break the tie over the course of four editions. The 33-year-old himself admitted his Achilles heel last season and has seemingly even become frustrated by it. “I have never scored against Juventus so far for Inter and I will do my utmost to end this streak in our encounter,” he said in March, before the Bianconeri won 2-0 and Claudio Ranieri was subsequently replaced by current Coach Andrea Stramaccioni. In fact, the last time Milito struck against the Old Lady was from the penalty spot for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Genoa, a consolation effort in a 4-1 loss during the 2008-09 campaign. Going into Saturday’s match at the Juventus Stadium, the former Real Zaragoza star is in a rich vein of form with five goals to his name in 10 League games in 2012-13. His club are also undergoing a purple patch of six victorious League games on the trot. Milito already has a place in the hearts of Inter’s tifosi and the club’s history, scoring crucial goals to claim silverware. His crowning moment thus far was when he conquered the Santiago Bernabeu by putting a brace past Bayern Munich to claim European glory, but if he strikes a devastating blow to Juventus and terminates their 49-game unbeaten streak, then the club’s fans will have another historic moment to remember him by and Milito will have reached another milestone in his ongoing treasure hunt. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
