Christian Chivu spent seven years at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and was an important member of Inter Milan’s marvellous generation, led by Jose Mourinho, that won the legendary treble in 2010. Well, tonight, the Romanian saddened his former club and fans as his Parma snatched a point against Inter – 2-2!WHAT. A. GAME. 🔥🔥🔥#ParmaInter pic.twitter.com/XWe9PyMRyi— Lega Serie A (@SerieA_EN) April 5, 2025 The Nerazzurri played a fantastic first half and were 2-0 up at the break behind Matteo Darmian and Marcus Thuram’s goals, though Yann Sommer saved the visitors on two occasions, stopping Dennis Man and Ange-Yoan Bonny’s dangerous efforts.However, after the break – thinking that his team had a convincing lead – Simone Inzaghi turned to his well-known strategy – defending the advantage. Hence, he shortly subbed out key players: Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Lautaro Martinez, wishing to keep them fresh for the upcoming Champions League duel against Bayern in Munich (Tuesday, 22.00). ##EDITORS_CHOICE##Oh, was he wrong…In the previous couple of rounds – precisely, against Udinese and Monza – Inter’s boss got away with his “gambling,” but today, he was harshly punished! In the span of nine minutes – between the 60th and 69th – Parma netted twice and levelled the score over Adrian Bernabe and Jacob Ondrejka!2 – For the second time in #SerieA this term, #Inter have drawn a game after leading by 2 goals – also doing so in Inter-Juventus 4-4 last October; the Nerazzurri also conceded 2 goals in the 2nd half against Bianconeri on that occasion. Slowdown. #ParmaInter pic.twitter.com/BfVbQdgqIF— OptaPaolo (@OptaPaolo) April 5, 2025 Inzaghi tried to turn the tables replacing the midfielder Kristjan Asllani with the striker Marko Arnautovic, but it was too late for the Nerazzurri. Chivu’s crew blocked all the paths towards their goal, avoided defeat against Inter in Serie A for the first time since October 2020, and won vital points for the relegation battle.On the other hand, Inter are now four steps ahead of Napoli, though Antonio Conte’s team will have a chance to close the gap to only one point if they beat Bologna on Monday.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 31FridayGenoa – Udinese 1-0 (0-0)/Zanoli 77/SaturdayMonza – Como 1-3 (1-2)/Mota 5 – Ikone 16, Diao 39, Vojvoda 51/Parma – Inter 2-2 (0-2)/Bernabe 60, Ondrejka 69 – Darmian 15, Thuram 45/21:45: (1.90) Milan (3.50) Fiorentina (4.10)Sunday13:30: (2.30) Lecce (3.20) Venezia (3.30)16:00: (2.55) Empoli (3.15) Cagliari (2.90)16:00: (1.82) Torino (3.50) Verona (4.60)19:00: (1.75) Atalanta (3.60) Lazio (4.90)21:45: (2.35) Roma (3.25) Juventus (3.15)Monday21:45: (2.90) Bologna (3.00) Napoli (2.70)***odds are subject to change***
