Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has decided to start Joaquin Correa in attack against Bologna. This afternoon’s 2024/2025 Serie A Match Day 33 clash kicks off at 18.00 CET.
Napoli drew level with the Nerazzurri winning three points yesterday against Monza, ratcheting up the pressure for a response.
Subsequently, Inter are looking to respond to that Partenopei victory against Monza yesterday.
Inter have the chance to do just that his evening against Bologna. However, it will be a hugely difficult match, against arguably the form team in all of Serie A since the start of 2025.
Scelte fatte, testa alta 👊

Bologna earned a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in January.
No Major Squad Rotation From Simone Inzaghi
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has stuck with a very strong starting eleven this evening.
That is in spite of the fact that the Nerazzurri are coming off the back of an exhausting Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Bayern Munich just a few days ago.
Nevertheless, Inzaghi has stuck with much of the eleven that started on Wednesday.
Therefore, the Inter coach has clearly signalled how important this evening’s match is.
Firstly, in goal it is Yann Sommer as usual.
Next, in defense, Inzaghi has confirmed all three starters in the back three from the Bayern match. Therefore, Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni all get the nod.
Thirdly, on the right flank it is Matteo Darmian. The 35-year-old played ninety minutes against Bayern; however, he does not get a rest here.
Joaquin Correa Gets The Nod In Attack
Meanwhile, on the other flank, there is a chance. Federico Dimarco drops out of the lineup.
Therefore, Carlos Augusto starts at left-wingback for Inter.
However, in midfield it is the same trio that started against Bayern Munich in midweek.
Therefore, all of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella get the nod.
Furthermore, in attack there is perhaps the most notable name on the teamsheet for Inter Milan.
That is Joaquin Correa. The Argentine replaces the injured Marcus Thuram in the lineup, partnering Lautaro Martinez in attack.
Meanwhile, Inter have two players absent through injury aside from Thuram. Namely, Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries.

There’s a silver lining. Bologna win pushed Juve to 5th
I have been saying it almost every time on this platform, inter need skillful and pacey players – especially on the wings.Today it shows inter cannot do without thuram; he dribbles and he is fast.
i still don’t understand why Inzaghi still plays Correa ahead of Arnautovic like what has Inzaghi seen in Correa that we don’t see….we won the league when he was on loan….that guy is just a waste smh….tbh Inzaghi is one of our problems frfr
Napoli can easily win all their remaining matches while inter has already lost 1 of their 3 uneasy matches, roma and lazio are incoming. Inter can’t even win against parma so it’s no surprise that bologna eventually win this match. Honestly I’m pessimistic that we can even get a silverware this season considering our latest play style and mentality.
at least you are a realistic fans. Hopefully this loss will motivate them to win the scudetto. They will not win the CL.
You are aware that Napoli are far from perfect. Playing even with weaker teams with pressure can be very tricky and they dropped more points against weaker sides. At the same time Conte has already started to cry to his boss he doesn’t have enough players. Inter will drop points and Napoli will also do so.
We should forget about Scudeto and Coppa, we don’t need those. Now we must fully focus on a CL just to make a statement and prove we can win something other italian clubs can only dream about. Napoli, Atalanta and Bologna will be just a punching bags for every team in CL.
and what if you lost the CL? You are already cancelling Barca whose manager won the CL?
I don’t care. There will always be a next season. I am aware we don’t have a financial power to win titles every season. What we achieved so far is already good enough.
Btw, what bother you so much dude? Why do you come here to troll?
It sucks losing a game in this manner. But nothing is lost yet. Inter still has everything to play. We are tied in points with Napoli, not behind. This means there will be a play-off against them if we remain tied with five games to go. It’s going to add more games to the calendar making it extra difficult, but Inter is still in the race.
No need for play-offs as far as we have a better GD (goal difference). The Scudetto is not lost yet, but given we have the UCL too it will be hard now that we are level in points with Napoli.
There is a sudden death game to be played in case teams are tied in first place. Inter would play at home thanks to their goal difference advantage. They changed the rules either this season or last season.
Thanks for the info, I thought the GD still decided the Scudetto winner in an equal-points scenario.
buddies, let’s still support Inter and put our hope. pazza sempre inter!
always. and fuck davide
Hey Morrocan if you attack me one more time I will report you
To the teacher? Grow up a bit, if you believe it you can do it.
yeah this crypto juvemerda retard, is a retard
Napoli can’t really win all of their remaining matches and they struggle against weaker sides. The problem is the man who has been getting all the praise and that’s Inzaghi. He should stop using Bisseck when Inter defends deep and Correa is no longer an Inter player. If not Inter should just forfeit the remaining matches and focus on other trophies. He can’t analyse the match and say Correa did anything other slow the team down and Bisseck is consistently making costly mistakes for being a terrible defender. So even if Napoli drop points and they will Inter with Inzaghi stubbornness with those players Inter will drop more.
what are inzaghis choices. lets be real pal
When making choices that end up hurting you then keep making them will just show Inzaghi is the one with the problem. Don’t play Correa and don’t play Bisseck when defending deep. Inter consistently conceded when Bisseck plays during final stages of the matches where he’s directly involved.It’s not coincidence Inter won the scuddeto when Correa was on loan because in Inzaghi’s eyes Correa is prime Messi. For Correa he shouldn’t be used at ALL at least Bisseck is useful in attack Correa is just useless in the purest form.
not that we didn’t see this coming. our management was busy strengthening the primavera rather than our first team in summer and then again in winter. the boys are tired. we don’t have the legs to play at high level every 3 days.
and here we come again. correa played like a windy season. sometimes the wind is good, but most of the times the wind is dreadful.
Bisseck is simply a terrible defender. When he came on he didn’t win a single challenge and of course the one that he wins he gives out an assist. Like an overall clumsy player and he even managed to outshine Correa as the worst player of the match which is impressive. It’s not the first time he has done it and it won’t be the last you can’t expect him to come on while Inter are defending deep he far way terrible as defender with no skills in defending. The good thing now is Inzaghi would have to be completely delusional to use the guy when Inter are defending deep because he will in fact help the opposition.
Once Bisseck came in I knew it wasn’t going to be a great ending but was still being hopeful.
The position doesn’t suit him also, so many games I watched him and RB and RW just isn’t for him, he can’t find himself therw at all
Crazy that we can see with our own eyes yet the coach can see him even during training and yet he keeps using him like that. Once Inter starts to defend deep take Bisseck off he becomes a liability and opponents know it.
no disqus = no sempreinter. bye bye lads.
Same I stopped commenting a lot, I just went ahead and moved to Reddit, it’s not perfect but it beats what we have here now.
not having proper backup players had costs us couple times this season… bayern munich can’t defeat us but bologna can do this to our serie A title race.
Bologna cost inter the league to Milan 3 years ago and they did it this year but to Napoli this time. Congrat Napoli. We all knew inter wuld be tropheyless this seasons only losers who said treble.!
i can see your mountain dew and dorittos garbage you piece of shit. gtfo here.
you either support juve or juve… guess what.. not even top 4 you piece of shit
No one care about you. I will hunt you from your country Indonsia or maylsia
nO oNe cARE aBoUt yOu. Juve fan LOOOOOL
Screw you and screw Juve Milan Napoli and Bologn a
Just ignore him the more you give him attention the more he does it.
Napoli hasn’t won anything yet, dumbass. Look at the standings and let me know who’s still in first place. You predicted Bayern to trash Inter, but Inter went through while winning at the Allianz Arena. All of your predictions mean absolutely nothing.
Shut the fuck up Davide Calabria.
Go back to the Sewer little boy. You are worth nothing here, stupid idiot.
Unfortunatelly i was right, in October i said we wont win the scudetto with performances like this. A pure shitshow.
I quit smoking few months ago….this game just made me start again.
Try something strong. This end of the season might get out of control for Inter unfortunately.
Yea hopefully this season shows the higher ups we need to spend big this summer.
This is the second time in recent history we lose title because of Bologna. I hope they get relegated next season. Sh%t team with sh%t players pushing for a CL spot just to get r@ped there by everyone.
Woooow just look at them celebrating, those losers probably think they won Champions League.
I say every week bisseck is a liability and not at the level required…
He just missed a header without jumping under no pressure,
Then a few seconds later flicks the ball on for their winner rather than actually clearing.
He’s 6’5” ffs head the ball!!
He can manage it the other end but is terrible defending.
It was always gonna be tough, but the way we are playing, the fact we have no plan b and can never bring any pace off the bench (a problem which has been ignored since hakimi left) ♂️
We really do risk ending this season with zero silverware and that will be pretty devastating…
Not over yet, but it’s out of our hands now, Napoli have a very favorable run in, bloody lukaku ffs ♂️
Actually the header was the icing on the cake even against Bayern you could see Gnabry was playing like prime Messi against him and in the second leg he wasn’t used and Inter managed to hold on. It was was led to the goal the guy with the energy was not closing down nor closing the gap or even attempting to make the challenge. He was just there to see what will the opponent do next. It’s crazy how they can analyse the match and see that Bisseck contributed to anything other than the assist and now clear if Inter keep using him while defending deep then it’s clear the scuddeto is over. I don’t think Napoli can win all of their remaining matches but Inter will drop points if players like Correa and Bisseck continue to be used. The guy is only good when Inter attack
I said last time we played Bologna that they are our black cat.
To be fair it looked like Bologna wanted it more today
I still cant understand why is Correa playing when we have 2 strikers on the bench
Only Inzaghi can explain why he uses a below mediocre player in one of the most important matches…
I hope their easter will be terrible if they celebrate it Bye losers. Congrats for your treble LOL you will win zero Trophy!
Correa plays against us i’d rather have a injured taremi on that pitch
The team asked to concede a goal in the second half. Just defending against Bologna is absurd. The team deserved this defeat.
That is why a treble is considered a huge achievement. Fighting on multiple fronts till the end of the season is extremely hard.
i feel the same
no reason for blaming other factors.
if we want trophy, then win every match; make it happen in earlier minutes, not just waiting till the end. I just didn’t see their desire.
I hope we win Coppa Italia. lol
You will be trophy-less this season!
“You”? At least you now admit you are not an Inter fan.
glad your true colors are showing, your not an inter fan. Just a troll, who says You* when talking about their own club.
Indeed haha He kept using “we”, but apparently in a moment of strong happiness for Inter’s loss he forgot and let his mask down.
Finally exposed himself
Davide – Rubentus Clown.
Get the fuck outta here inbred cunt.
Last hope.
Useless rotational players strikes again. apart from Arna the rest of these guys are useless. Taremi and Correa especially.
Congrats Napoli for the Scudetto
Milan for Coppa
and Barca for the CL
10000000000% sure of that!
oh you are back LOL did not miss you
Voila!!
this is what i was afraid for…. tired legs and not having proper backup in the bench.
Wtf Bisseck
Fuck bologna theyre about to ruin our fucking league season again
Great assist Lol
garbage bisseck
Absolute garbage – he’s a liability
I just don’t understand why we waste the time and let bologna keep attacking us
nah.. they scored in the last second
LOl and they will win the treble LOL
Naaah, guess we’ll have to accept one point from this game. When I saw Correa in starting XI I just knew we aren’t gonna win this game.
Conte is celebrating!
Arnautovic should have come on earlier. Darmian is very weak offensively. Missing Dumfries
Arna will be starting in the derby, the plan was to sit him the full 90 today but the others didn’t do their job.
This referee is really putting a shìtshow… And not only for us, for both sides -.-
1 shot on target in 85 mins….
Taremi can’t score a goal, not even without the goalkeeper in goal, lol
omg this ref is either retarded or corrupt
even outfield correa got yellow card
Conte is drinking a lot celebrating!!!
He can celebrate all day long, but we all know his team will be g@ngb@nged next season in UCL.
78 minutes and still 0-0 LOL
of course those fans who always attack me when I am not even here are hiding LOL
Finally you show up… I wonder where you go, not showing up at all.
The same thing happened to Napoli yesterday against the worst team in the league….you wont mention that though. You never comment when we’re playing good lol
You are always here you just stay silent when we’re playing good lol you see all those comments calling for you so dont act like your not here when your silent
i want to tell Inter players: hey, it’s time for scoring
Our players seems very tired… even Frattesi who doesn’t play that often
A useless player left and another useless one came in. Corrêa and Taremi are horrible. It’s good to find a way to win, because those points will be missed. A very uncreative team today.
They still have to face milan, roma, barca lazio and they already talking about treble LOL
Inter are playing with a player down. Correa is simply just jogging around waiting for the end of the season. Is Inzaghi that blind
useless correa still useless. when will he taken off for a real player?
This is getting out of controll. Inzaghi should stop d*cking around and remove that useless spectator for an actual pro football player.
why the hell Inzaghi’s assistance get a card? He was talking to the referee
correa shot is ‘unbelievable’ LOL
LOL and he will win the treble LOL LOL Hardly anyone is a treble materials except 5
Bologna 0- Atalanta 2
Bologna 0 inter 0 so far LOL
If Taremi is fit why not play him instead of the useless Correa. Like he seems to be more tired than other players who played an intense match against Bayern.
Correa role is just completing the number of on-field players. I just want him to prove it wrong.
imagine Correa will play against Milan, Roma and maybe Barca too LOL
Nope he’s not in the CL squad. Taremi and Arna will be the one to play in those matches
he’s just a troll, don’t take him seriously.
always happy when inter struggle and hiding when we win.
ref not stopping play for an actual head injury but stopping it for a knee is CRAZYYYY this ref doesnt care about the rules
This ref is too obvious. He should be demoted to Serie D2 and after that he should be sent to prison for corruption and match fixing.
I can’t believe they are still doing same thing over and over.
Why did Mikhi do that?
he wanted to be substituted
bologna play more physical and we are in high risk of injury, since we play much more intense.
the ref is joking
Since when is ref allowed to stop play for leg injuries….Serie A refs just making up tules as they go. Any player falls and they blow a whistle
How to think positive?
Correa should be taken off. He’s far too useless
I believe there are primavera players that are far better players than him. He is a definition of uselessness.
yeaa.. is there any youth striker brought on our bench?
F**king miles onside ♂️
This was not offside
Mikhi back to giving the ball away every time he touches it again
cant believe taremi drop to 5th striker. even corea looks better than him at least in term of trying
At 31 years old he had never played for a big team before. What did you expect?
Forza Inter! Think positive.
Forza Inter!!! Let’s Go!!!
