17 May
Summary
- Inter played a rotated squad, having already secured the league title.
- Hellas Verona entered the match already relegated from Serie A.
- The match was officiated by Andrea Calzavara, his first year in Serie A.
Inter Milan played their penultimate-round Serie A match on Sunday, May 17th, against already relegated Hellas Verona. Having already clinched the league title and Coppa Italia, Inter fielded a rotated side, with manager Cristian Chivu opting for a 3-5-2 formation. The starting XI included Sommer in goal, a defense of De Vrij, Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto, a midfield of Luis Henrique, Diouf, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, and Darmian, with Bonny and Lautaro leading the attack.
Hellas Verona, managed by Sammarco, also adopted a 3-5-2 formation. Their lineup featured Montipò in goal, a defense of Nelsson, Edmundsson, and Valentini, a midfield of Belghali, Lovric, Gagliardini, Bernede, and Frese, and a forward pairing of Suslov and Bowie. This match marked one of the final games of the season for Verona, who had secured only one win since Sammarco took charge.
The match was overseen by referee Andrea Calzavara, who was in his first year officiating in Serie A. The fixture, broadcasted exclusively by DAZN, held more significance in terms of lineups and seasonal context than league standings, with Inter preparing for a title celebration and bus tour to the Duomo post-match.
