Bergomi: ‘With Lukaku it would have ended 3-0’

Former Inter defender Giuseppe Bergomi felt the Nerazzurri ‘had total control’ against Juventus. ‘With Romelu Lukaku this game ends 3-0’.

Juventus equalised at the 89th minute, when Paulo Dybala converted a penalty to cancel out Edin Dzeko’s opening goal.

Bergomi claimed Simone Inzaghi’s men dominated the match at San Siro, but Max Allegri and Juventus somehow still returned with a point.

The former centre-back pointed at the attacking department and felt something was missing, highlighting Lukaku’s farewell this summer.

The Belgian left Inter after two seasons and 64 goals in 95 competitive games and Bergomi said he would have made the difference against the Bianconeri on Sunday.

“Inter did better than Juventus, I don’t remember any shots on goal by the Bianconeri,” Bergomi told Sky Sport Italia.

“With Lukaku, this game end 3-0. I’m convinced of it. The only one that was really engaged was [Nicolò] Barella and, in fact, he had cramps at the end of the game.

“Centrally, the strikers now work in a different way, the player who gives depth is missing. But I still saw an Inter in total control.”

The penalty was decisive in the end and Bergomi claimed it was the only ‘real danger’ from the Old Lady.

“If that episode hadn’t arrived, I didn’t see any real danger, even if the Nerazzurri had lowered themselves.”
