Juventus vs. Inter, when the Derby d'Italia has been played abroad
Team
— 41 minutes agoIt is the most-played fixture in the history of Italian football and the match that gave rise to one of the most famous rivalries in world football. Whenever Inter and Juventus meet, Italy and the rest of the world stop to watch, because the clash between the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri has produced countless epic chapters in football history, creating a legend of its own: the Derby d'Italia. Since their first historic meeting in Turin on 14 November 1909, Inter and Juventus have faced each other 269 times in official matches and friendlies. The fixture at Perth's Optus Stadium on Saturday 8 August will be the 270th meeting between the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri, and only the third to be played outside Italy. Ahead of the match at Optus Stadium, which will bring the Internazionale Summer Tour to a close, let's look back at the only two chapters of the Derby d'Italia to have been written outside Italy.
INTER 10-9 JUVENTUS (AFTER PENS) | FRIENDLY, MIAMI
On 6 August 2013, Inter and Juventus met abroad for the first time, facing off at Sun Life Stadium in Miami as part of the Guinness Cup. Walter Mazzarri's Nerazzurri came out on top, winning on penalties after the match finished 1-1 in normal time. Ricky Álvarez opened the scoring in the first half, following up on Gianluigi Buffon's save to put Inter ahead in the 29th minute. Juventus levelled just before half-time through a penalty converted by Arturo Vidal. The match was ultimately decided from the spot, with the two sides engaging in a lengthy penalty shootout that was settled by Juan Pablo Carrizo. The Inter goalkeeper saved Isla's attempt before stepping up himself to convert the decisive penalty and seal victory for the Nerazzurri.
INTER 4-5 JUVENTUS (AFTER PENS) | FRIENDLY, NANJING
Six years passed before Inter and Juventus met outside Italy again. Once more, the fixture was a friendly, this time in China, with Nanjing's Olympic Sports Centre Stadium providing the setting for the Derby d'Italia. As in the previous meeting in Miami, the match finished 1-1. Antonio Conte's Inter took the lead after 10 minutes when Matthijs de Ligt turned the ball into his own net. Juventus levelled after the break through a Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick that took a decisive deflection on its way into the net. Once again, penalties decided the outcome, but this time it was Maurizio Sarri's Bianconeri who came out on top. After Gianluigi Buffon saved Borja Valero's spot-kick, Merih Demiral converted the decisive penalty to seal victory for Juventus.
