Inter beat Milan in more areas than just the full time score Corriere dello Sport have highlighted. The ‘physical’ Nerazzurri won 56% of duels during the game against a ‘tougher’ Milan side who have a number of more imposing players like Franck Kessie in comparison to some of Inter’s less imposing players like Yuto Nagatomo.
Despite being outnumbered, Matias Vecino and Roberto Gagliardini won the midfield battle on Sunday night winning a combined 70% of their duels against Lucas Biglia and Franck Kessie.
Moreover, Ivan Perisic made a real difference when going forward as he beat his opponent in six of his nine attempts, better than any of his Milan counterparts.
