#2 Inter Milan looked brilliant from set-pieces

As mentioned before, Conte is slowly getting his style of play from this Inter team. Against Manchester United, Inter weren't threatening to score from open play but they were really looking dangerous from the corners and against Juventus today, they scored from a corner.

Inter Milan have some brilliant headers of the ball in their team with the likes of Milan Skriniar and Stefan de Vrij and we haven't seen Diego Godin yet. Also, they have some great set-piece takers and Sensi was the best of them today. From the initial looks of this Inter team, it is fair to say that they would be deadly from set-pieces in the upcoming season.

#1 Juventus seem to be lacking balance in their attack

The front three of Juventus in the first half was Gonzalo Higuain, Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeshi. Throughout that first half, Juventus lacked that attacking balance as the front three was very narrow. Ronaldo playing from the left-wing was drifting in towards the center at every opportunity, while Higuain looked seriously out of touch.

Juventus are lacking that proper left-winger as Ronaldo isn't really one. He usually vacates that left side for a more central role and he is at his best when he is doing that. Mario Mandzukic came on for Higuain in the second half and the attack did look more in sync but they didn't really threaten the Inter backline much. Sarri has a really tough job of finding the best-attacking trio for next season.
