Report – Inter Milan Beat Fiorentina In Serie A Match Marred By Woeful Referee Calls
Referee Federico La Penna wasn't up to the task in Monday's Serie A showdown between Inter Milan and Fiorentina.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, La Penna's decisions overshadowed Inter's dominant 2-1 win.
Though the scoreline was tight, Simone Inzaghi must be pleased with his side's performance last night.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri had Raffaele Palladino's charges on the ropes all night but often lacked the final touch.
For context, Inter attempted 22 shots to Fiorentina's seven, generating an impressive 2.17 xG.
However, La Penna's calls left Inzaghi with a bittersweet taste.
For starters, La Penna gave Inter a corner that led to the opening goal, though the ball was already out of play.
Then, he made another dubious call after VAR summoned him to double-check the incident inside Inter's box.
Indeed, he penalized Matteo Darmian's handball, though it was a 50/50 decision.
Despite La Penna's blunders, Inter returned to the win column in phenomenal fashion.
Marko Arnautovic sealed the deal early in the second half with his first Serie A goal this season.
As a result, Inter ended Gameweek 24 only a point adrift of pacesetters Napoli.

Chivu won the European Treble of the Serie A title, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia with Inter in the 2009-10 season. Marotta continued that 'I believe modern football clubs must cultivate this connection.' 'Because within this character, there are a lot of positive values.' The Inter President insisted the club are 'satisfied and happy' with their choice to appoint Chivu. And as far as Inter's objectives next season as ever, Marotta said they're 'the same ones as ever.' Advertisement 'The history of Inter says this is the case. Inter participate in competitions to win. Then if someone's better than us, as happened last season, we'll take our hats off to them.' 'However, we have to remember that reaching the top isn't easy,' Marotta stressed. 'Not everyone has reached that far in recent years.'

Botafogo To Seal Transfer Of Out-Of-Contract Inter Milan Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup
Botafogo To Seal Transfer Of Out-Of-Contract Inter Milan Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup Botafogo are ready to seal the transfer of Joaquin Correa from Inter Milan in time for the FIFA Club World Cup. This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reported on air, via FCInterNews, that everything is in place for the 30-year-old to make the move. Advertisement Joaquin Correa has come to a four-year stint at Inter Milan. The Argentine joined the Nerazzurri from Lazio in the summer of 2021. Correa joined right at the end of the transfer window. He made an immediate impact, coming off the bench to score a match-winning brace in a 3-1 win away to Hellas Verona. However after that, Correa's performances for Inter were deeply underwhelming. Botafogo To Sign Joaquin Correa For FIFA Club World Cup MILAN, ITALY – DECEMBER 06: Joaquin Correa of FC Internazionale looks on during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Parma at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on December 06, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) In the summer of 2023, after two disappointing seasons at the club, Inter loaned Correa out to Marseille. However, the Argentine's form was little better for the Ligue 1 club than it had been at the San Siro. Advertisement Correa returned to Inter last summer. And despite numerous links away, he ended up seeing out his contract at the club. Correa scored two goals and made two assists across twelve appearances in Serie A in his final season at the Nerazzurri. Technically speaking, Correa's contract with Inter runs out at the end of June. But the Nerazzurri will release him a few weeks early from his deal. This will allow the former Lazio and Sevilla forward to join Brazilian club Botafogo. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Brazilian giants will be able to complete the signing of Correa before the pre-Club World Cup transfer window closes. Therefore, the Argentine can be a part of Botafogo's squad for that tournament.
