One day before Inter and Juventus, a match with wide consequences both for the nerazzurri's top 4 hopes as well as the scudetto race between Juve and Napoli, the coach of Inter, Luciano Spalletti appeared at his pre-match press conference to set up the crucial tie: "What gives me the most faith is the growth that this team has undertaken. In this period we have learned to reckon with our weaknesses. We are pumped up and ready to take on the end of the season to reach the goal of the Champions League. It is a great objective, it matters to this club and its history to return to Europe. Juventus can adapt and has always found the solution to its difficulties in various matches. Allegri is great at putting the quality of his players in the open and putting them in the condition to realize their talent. And he is great at reading the match. Has their defeat to Napoli changed anything? In my opinion nothing has changed. I don't know how Allegri speaks in the dressing room, but if they are angry we will be ferocious because it's been seven years and we have not won anything in that time. We will have the advantage and the conditions needed to win will be right if it comes down to anger."
