Inter best player: Dumfries 7 –His towering header—though ultimately just a fleeting illusion for his team—was yet another testament to the dominance he’s shown all season. An irreplaceable piece in Simone Inzaghi’s machine, his presence remains a constant menace for every opponent.

Inter lowest rating: Taremi 5.5 – His brilliant cameo against Barcelona proved to be an illusion that wasn’t repeated, as Marcus Thuram struggled to find genuine support in his attacking partner, who was often out of position or simply unable to link up effectively.

Inter coach: Simone Inzaghi 6 – A determined and convincing—if not particularly effective—first half was followed by a distracted second half that ultimately proved costly for his side. The Nerazzurri looked disjointed at times, and it felt like greater focus and compactness during Lazio’s attacking phases could have prevented their most dangerous chances.

Lazio: Mandas 6; Marusic 5.5, Gila 6.5 (90′ Gigot n/a), Romagnoli 5.5, Tavares 6 (65′ Hysaj); Guendouzi 6, Rovella 6; Isaksen 5 (53′ Pedro 7.5), Vecino 6.5, Dia 5.5; Castellanos 5.5

Lazio best player: Pedro 7.5 – The Spaniard came off the bench to rescue a crucial draw for his side, overshadowing many of his teammates with his charisma and experience. The composure he displayed when stepping up to take an 89th-minute penalty perfectly reflected his ability to thrive under pressure.

Lazio lowest rating: Isaksen 5 – His bold playing style, built on taking repeated risks, can’t excuse the numerous times he lost possession in the first half due to chaotic ball management — all the more so considering he squandered a massive goalscoring chance at a moment that could have completely changed the game.

Lazio coach: Marco Baroni 6 – It was somewhat surprising to see his side’s passive approach in the first half—something the Biancocelesti fortunately corrected after the break. However, their performance often felt erratic, with poor decision-making in the final third undermining the potential they had displayed earlier in the season.
