The last dance. The last dance of a group that has written history, the last 90 minutes for a team capable of bringing Inter back to the top of Italy by winning a historic Double. Bologna-Inter will not only be the last match of the Nerazzurri season, but the final point of a year destined to remain indelible in the fans' memory.
Inter, una stagione oltre le aspettative
A race that will not have weight on the ranking, but which will bring with it emotions, meanings and above all goodbyes. The Dall'Ara will also be the night of farewells. Greetings still unofficial, but inevitably in the air considering the end of the contract and Marotta's words after Verona: "There are players who due to age will no longer be there but we will try to replace them in the best possible way, we will look for the right mix: effervescence of the young people and experience of the older ones".
Chivu will end his first year as Inter coach with two trophies in his cabinet and definitive consecration. From an inexperienced, inadequate intern to a leader and it is precisely from him that we will start again next year.
A season beyond all expectations, built on identity, character and sense of belonging.
Fine di un ciclo: l’ultima danza nerazzurra
Bologna-Inter is therefore much more than a simple end-of-season match. It becomes the final catwalk for many footballers, the last dance after years of love and loyalty towards the Nerazzurri colours. Yann Sommer, silent leader between the posts, protagonist of decisive saves despite the many criticisms he received. Francesco Acerbi, tireless warrior. Stefan De Vrij, elegance and reliability at the service of the Inter defense for years. Matteo Darmian, the battle man, always ready when called upon. And then Henrikh Mkhitaryan, brain and football intelligence of a team that has found one of its strengths in its balance.
If for some we are now certain of farewell, others are still reflecting on their future like the Armenian.
In the meantime, Inter will still try to finish in the best possible way. For pride, mentality and hunger. Because champions don't stop competing even when there is nothing left to win. And then there is still one last objective to chase: the record of goals scored in Serie A. Eighty-nine are the quota to overcome, eighty-six have been scored so far by the Nerazzurri.
It would be the perfect way to end a perfect season. The last dance, before the credits.
