Top 5 Juventus goals from the Derby d’Italia

With only three days until one of the most important games of the season in Serie A, let’s take a look back at some of the greatest goals in Juventus vs Inter history by Juventus players:

5) Zinedine Zidane (Juve 2-0 Inter, 1996)

In the first Derby d’Italia of the 1996-97 season, Zinedine Zidane, a new signing from Bordeaux, was becoming more influential in the game. In the second half, Inter made a mess of clearing the initial corner, and the ball fell to Zidane some 30 yards out. The young Frenchman aimed and unleashed a screamer of a left-foot shot past the diving Pagliuca and into the net.

4) Pavel Nedved (Juve 3-0 Inter, 2003)

It was a crucial game in the title race, with both teams sitting at the top of the table on 48 points. In the final quarter-hour of the first half, Pavel Nedved gets the ball in space on the right side of the field and shoots from distance, beating Toldo in the Nerazzurri goal with a daisy-cutter to double Juve’s lead.

3) Juan Cuadrado (Juve 1-0 Inter, 2017)

Juventus were hoping to add to their already incredible home record of 27 consecutive victories. Cuadrado took matters into his own hands to change this fact, as neither side had found the back of the net until nearly the end of the first half. A loose ball from a corner kick fell into the path of the Colombian, who unleashed a thunderbolt of a shot into the back of the net, beating Handanovic with sheer velocity alone: 1-0!

2) Stephan Lichtsteiner (Juve 3-1 Inter, 2014)

The Bianconeri’s superiority was demonstrated in style in the second Derby d’Italia of the 1996-97 season. Stephan Lichtsteiner escaped Mateo Kovai’s attention and ghosted in around the back of a sleeping Inter defence to meet Andrea Pirlo’s sumptuous pass over the top and guide the ball past Handanovi with a brilliant diving header into the corner after only 15 minutes.

1) Martin Caceres (Juve 2-0 Inter, 2012)

Into the final two months of the season, Juventus were determined for all three points to boost their pursuit of a first Scudetto title in six years. Inter arrived in Turin looking to derail Bianconeri’s title hopes, and the two teams go into halftime level at 0-0. The deadlock would be broken in the 57th minute, however, by an unlikely source: Martin Caceres. Pirlo whipped in a corner from the right, and the ball found Caceres, who was unmarked inside the six-yard box, and Caceres rose highest to meet Andrea Pirlo’s header, placing it past Julio Cesar.
