One of the leaders of the Eastern Conference returned to the season quite successfully, as the team managed to defeat their opponent with a score of 3-0. The Toronto players controlled the ball most of the time and attacked well, so the impression was that Vancouver was only defending and almost never crossed over to half the opposition. Pablo Piatti scored a double in this match and became the main hero of the confrontation, as he showed great scoring flair. In the next meeting, Greg Vanni’s charges will again meet with Waitcaps, so there is a high probability that everything will happen again. We assume, the Reds will continue to dominate the fight.
Inter, unlike their current rival, clearly expected to fight for the title in their national championship. In the first round, Antonio Conte’s team was considered one of the main contenders for the Scudetto. However, it was not possible to achieve success. The Nerazzurri dropped out of the fight in advance, but in the end they finished second, which in general can be considered an achievement. In the current season, Inter started their way in European competition in the Champions League, where they got into the group of death with Barcelona, ??Borussia Dortmund and Slavia Prague. The Nerazzurri imposed a fight on the rivals, but this was not enough to qualify for the group. They finished third, being behind Borussia by only three points. Having entered the playoffs of the Europa League, Inter did not notice Ludogorets on their way, beating an opponent in each of the matches. In the 1/8 finals they already had to play in Germany. Getafe became the silver medalist of Serie A, but won 2:0 in the Inter class and got to Bayer. The pharmacists did not put up much resistance in the quarterfinals. Conte’s team won 2-1 quite easily and faced Shakhtar Donetsk in the semifinals. The meeting with the Pitmen turned out to be the easiest for Inter in the playoffs. Five unanswered goals flew into the opponent’s goal and the ticket to the final was won without any problems.
